Quick orientation
Herceptin (trastuzumab) is a humanised anti-HER2 monoclonal antibody developed by Genentech and Roche. The US Food and Drug Administration first approved Herceptin in September 1998 for HER2-overexpressing metastatic breast cancer, with subsequent expanded indications covering adjuvant and neoadjuvant HER2-positive early breast cancer and HER2-overexpressing metastatic gastric or gastro-oesophageal junction adenocarcinoma. Standard dosing is intravenous, given as a loading dose followed by maintenance every one or three weeks depending on regimen. Treatment is administered in an oncology infusion centre under medical oncology supervision, with baseline and serial cardiac function monitoring throughout the treatment course.

Clinical trials and expanded access
On 17 October 2026 we searched ClinicalTrials.gov, the clinical study registry of the US National Library of Medicine, for studies that list trastuzumab as an intervention. The search found studies that are recruiting or not yet recruiting. See the current list on ClinicalTrials.gov.
Whether a patient can join a trial or an expanded access program is decided by the study team or the manufacturer, together with the treating doctor. Reserve Meds does not run trials or supply investigational medicines. We can help you and your doctor read a listing and understand the route.

Frequently asked questions
How can I get Herceptin if it is not approved or available in my country?
Reserve Meds coordinates US-sourced Herceptin for patients through a legal named-patient pathway, working with your treating doctor. Your treating physician provides the prescription and clinical justification; Reserve Meds prepares the named-patient documentation for your country and arranges DSCSA-compliant US sourcing and delivery to your physician or hospital pharmacy.
Can I access Herceptin through a named-patient import?
Often, yes. Named-patient access (sometimes called personal import) is the legal route we use for FDA-approved medicines such as Herceptin. It is different from compassionate use, which covers investigational medicines through the manufacturer's own program; we do not supply investigational medicines. Eligibility and paperwork depend on the regulator in your country, and Reserve Meds maps the specific pathway for each market it coordinates.
Do I need a prescription to access Herceptin through Reserve Meds?
Yes. Reserve Meds is not a pharmacy and does not prescribe. A valid prescription and clinical justification from your treating physician are required, and all clinical decisions remain with your physician.
How does Reserve Meds deliver Herceptin to a patient?
Medicines are supplied through a US-licensed pharmaceutical wholesale partner, and Reserve Meds coordinates delivery of Herceptin to your treating physician or hospital pharmacy, with appropriate handling for the product.
How long does it take, and what does Herceptin cost through Reserve Meds?
After a short intake, the clinical team responds within one business day with case-specific feasibility, an indicative timeline, and a formal written quote. Cost depends on the destination, the prescribed regimen, and the duration of therapy, and is confirmed in writing before anything proceeds.
