Off label use implies to stray beyond a drug label's guidelines. Since Herceptin has not been proven in clinica trails to benefit those who are beyond 6 months of cancer treatment, then late Herceptin use would be considered off the label.

Thanks for the input so far. Bev. I appreciate your comments, and I will do the same for reimbursements; looks like there is light at the end of the tunnel.
