| E.1 Medical condition or disease under investigation | 
| E.1.1 | Medical condition(s) being investigated  | 
| Strategies to prolong remission duration in elderly patients with MCL are urgently needed. The effects of Rapamycin derivates on MCL cells in vitro and the  evolving in vivo data support the further investigation of RAD001 in this incurable disease | 
 
 
 | 
| MedDRA Classification | 
| E.1.3 | Condition being studied is a rare disease  |  No  | 
| E.2 Objective of the trial | 
| E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial  | 
To investigate the efficacy (time to progression) and safety of a
 maintenance therapy with Everolimus in patients with MCL aged
 over 60 years or aged over 40 years but who are not eligible for high
 dose chemotherapy followed by autologous stem cell support or
 allogeneic stem cell transplantation | 
 
 
 | 
| E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial  |  | 
| E.2.3 | Trial contains a sub-study  |  No  | 
| E.3 | Principal inclusion criteria  | 
- Patients with a proven history of mantle cell lymphoma
 2. Patients with achieved disease control after one to four lines
 of chemotherapy (complete response, partial response, stable
 disease) for mantle cell lymphoma.
 3. Patients must have been treated with a CHOP-like
 chemotherapy or a Fludarabine-containing regimen
 previously and Rituximab must have been used as part of the
 previous treatment.
 4. Age ≥ 60 years or patients ≥40 and <60 years of age who are
 not eligible for high dose chemotherapy followed by
 autologous stem cell support or allogeneic stem cell
 transplantation.
 5. Minimum of two weeks since any major surgery, completion
 of radiation, or completion of all prior systemic anticancer
 therapy (adequately recovered from the acute toxicities of
 any prior therapy).
 6. WHO performance status ≤ 2
 Adequate bone marrow function as shown by: ANC ≥ 1.5 x
 109/L, Platelets ≥ 100 x 109/L, Hgb > 9 g/dL
 8. Adequate liver function as shown by: serum bilirubin ≤ 1.5 xupper limit of normal (ULN), and serum transaminases
 activity ≤ 3 x ULN. With the exception of serum
 transaminases (< 5 x ULN) if the patient has liver metastases
 9. Life expectancy of at least 3 months
 10. Signed informed consent | 
 
 
 | 
| E.4 | Principal exclusion criteria | 
- Prior treatment with any investigational drug within the
 preceding 4 weeks
 2. Chronic treatment with systemic steroids or another
 immunosuppressive agent except for Rituximab.
 3. Uncontrolled brain or leptomeningeal disease manifestation,
 including patients who continue to require glucocorticoids
 for brain or leptomeningeal disease manifestation
 4. Other malignancies within the past 3 years except for
 adequately treated carcinoma of the cervix or basal or
 squamous cell carcinomas of the skin.
 5. Other concurrent severe and/or uncontrolled medical disease
 which could compromise participation in the study (i.e.,
 uncontrolled diabetes, uncontrolled hypertension, severe
 infection, severe malnutrition, unstable angina, or congestive
 heart failure - New York Heart Association Class III or IV,
 ventricular arrhythmias active ischemic heart disease,
 myocardial infarction within six months, chronic liver or
 renal disease, active upper GI tract ulceration, psychiatric
 disease)
 6. A known history of HIV seropositivity
 7. History or serology indicating active or chronic Hepatitis B
 or C or detection of viral DNA (Hep. B or C) via PCR
 8. Impairment of gastrointestinal function or gastrointestinal
 disease that may significantly alter the absorption of
 EVEROLIMUS (e.g., ulcerative disease, uncontrolled
 nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, malabsorption syndrome or small
 bowel resection)
 9. Patients with an active, bleeding diathesis or on oral antivitamin
 K medication (except low dose coumarin)
 10. Previous organ transplantation.
 11. Women who are pregnant or breast feeding, or women able
 to conceive and unwilling to practice an effective method of
 birth control. (Women of childbearing potential must have a
 negative urine or serum pregnancy test within 7 days prior to
 administration of EVEROLIMUS). Oral, implantable, orinjectable contraceptives may be affected by cytochrome
 P450 interactions, and are therefore not considered effective
 for this study. A highly effective methode of birth control is
 defined as those which results in a low failure rate (i.e. less
 than 1% per year) for example sexual abstinence or
 vasectomised partner.
 12. Patients who have received prior treatment with an mTor
 inhibitor.
 13. History of noncompliance to medical regimens
 14. Patients unwilling to or unable to comply with the protocol
 15. Patients with galactose intolerance, lack of lactase or
 malabsorption of glucose or galactose |

| E.5 End points | 
| E.5.1 | Primary end point(s) | 
Time to progression despite maintenance therapy with everolimus.
 Start of measurement is defined as last day of application of remission-inducing chemotherapy. | 
 
 
 | 
| E.5.2 | Secondary end point(s) | 
To analyze toxicity and feasibility of a treatment with
 EVEROLIMUS in patients with MCL after first, second,
 third and fourth line chemotherapy
 • To analyze surrogate parameters involved in angiogenesis
 and cell-cycle regulation in patients with circulating MCL
 cells or bone marrow involvement (only in patients
 with circulating MCL cells or with bone marrow
 involvement)
 • To compare the duration of previous responses with the
 duration of responses in patients with maintenance therapy.
 • To analyze the conversion rate in MCL patients during
 maintenance therapy (improvement of partial to complete
 response, stable disease to partial or complete response).
 • To analyze the overall survival of patients with maintenance
 therapy.
 • To analyze Quality of life during maintenance therapy |
