Re: Neratinib Clinical Trial

Kriss,
Hang in there, hopefully they will be able to find the right dose for you.

I remember last year at San Antonio when they reported the results out on the initial Neratinib trials, diarrhea was universal (In the study participants, not among the people hearing the report) Afterwards Dr. Love commented in the Alamo Mentor session that it sounded like prep for a colonoscopy!

But interestingly enough NOBODY had discontinued the trial due to this. The population in that study was Stage IV patients so that may have made a difference, but it did seem that most people eventually were able to manage the side effect.

Good luck, thank you for participating in the trial
