The Genetech protocol you quoted (with a loading dose of 4mg/kg) is for the weekly treatment. The 3q treatment loading dose is 8mg/kg. I started Herceptin weekly and after the loading dose (which was 90 minutes) , my infusions took 30 minutes. However, I switched to the 3q and it is a 90 minute infusion.

I think you will find this normal protocol for the every 3 week infusion.

Warm regards
