Postmenopausal women diagnosed with oestrogen receptor positive locally advanced or metastatic breast cancer will receive RAD001 at a dose of 10mg daily p.o. and exemestane 25mg daily p.o. for 48 weeks.

All postmenopausal women with oestrogen receptor positive locally advanced or metastatic breast cancer were treated with oral tablet RAD001 at a dose of 10mg daily and oral tablet exemestane 25mg daily. The study treatment for an individual patient was to begin on Study Day 1 and continue until the last patient enrolled completed the study at day 336 or until disease progression; unacceptable toxicity, death or early discontinuation from the study for any other reason, whichever occurs first.

Determine the overall response rate (ORR) at 48 weeks to everolimus (RAD001, 10mg daily p.o.) and exemestane (25mg daily p.o.) treatment in postmenopausal women with oestrogen receptor positive breast cancer who have previous experienced recurrence or progression on non-steroidal aromatase inhibitor (NSAI) therapy.

The best Overall Response (OR) for each patient is determined from the sequence of investigator overall lesion responses according to Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST 1.1.). To be assigned a best OR of Complete Responese (CR) at least two determinations of CR at least 4 weeks apart before progression are required. To be assigned a best OR of Partial Response (PR) at least two determinations of PR or better at least 4 weeks apart before progression (and not qualifying for a CR) are required.The Overall Response Rate (ORR) was defined as the proportion of patients with a best OR of confirmed CR or PR by week 48.

Progression-free survival (PFS) is the time from date of start of treatment to the date of event defined as the first documented progression or death due to any cause. If a patient has not had an event, progression-free survival is censored at the date of last adequate tumor assessment. Tumor assessment and response was evaluated according to RECIST v1.1Response was assessed by local radiology review.

If a patient has not had an event, progression-free survival is censored at the date of last adequate tumor assessment. Tumor assessment and response was evaluated according to RECIST v1.1Response was assessed by local radiology review. The PFS was analyzed using the Kaplan Meier method.

Overall survival (OS) is defined as the time from date of start of treatment to date of death due to any cause. If a patient is not known to have died, survival will be censored at the date of last contact. Time to median OS was not estimable.

The QLQ-C30 is composed of multi-item scales and single-item measures including 5 functional scales, 3 symptom scales, a global health status-QoL scale, and 6 single items. Each of the multi-item scales includes a different set of items - no item occurs in more than 1 scale. High scale score=higher response level; a high score for a functional scale=a healthy level of function, high score for the global health status/QoL=high quality of life but a high score for a symptom scale / item=high level of symptomatology/problems. The principle for scoring these scales: 1.) Estimate the average of the items that contribute to the scale = raw score. 2.) Linear transformation to standardize the raw score, so that scores range from 0 to 100. Results should be interpreted with caution as the numbers of patients with available data over time were limited, and because of high variances as evidenced by large standard deviations

EuroQoL Quality of Life Scale (EQ-5D) is a standardized instrument to assess health state values is a standardized instrument to assess health state values. The EQ-5D essentially consists of 2 pages: the EQ-5D descriptive system and the EQ visual analogue scale (VAS). The EQ-5D descriptive system is comprised of the following 5 dimensions: mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain/discomfort, and anxiety/depression. Each dimension has 5 levels: no problems, slight problems, moderate problems, severe problems and extreme problems. Percentage of participants' responses were presented by visits. Results should be interpreted with caution as the numbers of patients with available data over time were limited.

EuroQoL Quality of Life Scale (EQ-5D) is a standardized instrument to assess health state values. The EQ-5D essentially consists of 2 pages: the EQ-5D descriptive system and the EQ visual analogue scale (VAS). For the visual analogue scale, participants draw a line from a box to the point on the thermometer-like scale corresponding to their health state, 0-100 (100 = Best health state). Weights are used to score the responses to the 5 domains, with scores ranging from 0 to 1 (where a score of 1 represents a perfect state). Scores for the visual analogue scale reflect the position where participant's line crosses the thermometer-like scale. Results should be interpreted with caution as the numbers of patients with available data over time were limited, and because of high variances as evidenced by large standard deviations

Consistent with EudracCT disclosure specifications, Novartis has reported under the Serious adverse events field "number of deaths resulting from adverse events" all those deaths, resulting from serious adverse events that are deemed to be causally related to treatment by the investigator.
