Eligibility

You can join if…

Open to people ages 18 years and up

  • Measurable disease
  • WHO performance status ≤1
  • Adequate bone marrow, liver and renal function

You CAN'T join if...

  • Patients with poorly differentiated neuroendocrine carcinoma, high-grade neuroendocrine carcinoma, adenocarcinoid, pancreatic islet cell carcinoma, insulinoma,glucagonoma, gastrinoma, goblet cell carcinoid, large cell neuroendocrine carcinoma and small cell carcinoma
  • Patients with pancreatic NET or NET of origins other than GI or Lung
  • Patients with history of or active symptoms of carcinoid syndrome (e.g. flushing,diarrhea)
  • Patients with more than one line of prior chemotherapy
  • Prior targeted therapy
  • Hepatic locoregional therapy within the last 6 months
  • Prior therapy with mTOR inhibitors (e.g. sirolimus, temsirolimus, deforolimus)
  • Known intolerance or hypersensitivity to everolimus or other rapamycin analogs (e.g.sirolimus, temsirolimus)
  • Known impairment of gastrointestinal (GI) function or GI disease that may significantly alter the absorption of oral everolimus
  • Uncontrolled diabetes mellitus as defined by HbA1c >8% despite adequate therapy
  • Patients who have any severe and/or uncontrolled medical conditions such as:
  • unstable angina pectoris, symptomatic congestive heart failure, myocardial infarction ≤6 months prior to randomization, serious uncontrolled cardiac arrhythmia
  • active or uncontrolled severe infection
  • liver disease such as cirrhosis, decompensated liver disease, and chronic hepatitis (i.e. quantifiable HBV-DNA and/or positive HbsAg, quantifiable HCV-RNA)
  • Chronic treatment with corticosteroids or other immunosuppressive agents
  • Known history of HIV seropositivity
  • Pregnant or nursing (lactating) women
