    Everolimus is taken at a starting dose of 10 mg orally once daily.Patients will be provided with adequate supply of study treatment for self-administration at home until at least their next scheduled study visit.All patients will be followed for adverse events and serious adverse events for 30 days following the last dose of study drug. Beyond these 30 days, any serious adverse events that are suspected to be related to the study drug will also be collected

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Number of Participants with Adverse Events as a Measure of Safety and Tolerability

    Incidences of AEs, AE suspected to be related to Afinitor, Grade 3/4 AEs and SAEs

    Time frame: 5 years

Secondary outcomes

  1. Overall Survival

    Overall Survival is defined as time from study treatment to death due to any cause

    Time frame: Baseline, Week 4, every 3 months during treatment, every 6 months during survival through study completion which is defined as 75% completed survival (death) or ended treatment 5 years earlier (approximately 5 years)

  2. Progression free survival

    Progression free survival is defined as time from first dose of study treatment to progression or death due to any cause

    Time frame: Baseline, WK 4, every 3 MO during treatment until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity or discontinue treatment, every 6 MO during survival to study completion ( defined as 75% completed survival (death) or ended treatment 5 YRs earlier
