Six to eight cycles of chemotherapy (anthracycline or non-anthracycline-containing regimen) with Perjeta and Herceptin, followed by Perjeta and Herceptin every three weeks for a total of one year (52 weeks) of treatment.
More than 80% of women who got Herceptin, Taxotere, and Perjeta had some response to the treatment compared to 69% of women who got only Herceptin and Taxotere. The final overall survival results showed that women who were treated with Perjeta, Herceptin, and Taxotere lived about 5 years (56.5 months).
