E.1 Medical condition or disease under investigation |
E.1.1 | Medical condition(s) being investigated |
Breast cancer is the most prevalent malignancy in women and metastatic breast cancer is a leading cause of mortality, accounting for more than 400,000 deaths annually worldwide. Even though anthracyclines and taxanes are the most active agents in breast cancer, treatment failure occurs in a substantial number of patients and median survival for breast cancer remains 2 to 3 years. Hence, the combination of chemotherapy with less hematotoxic agents is a promising approach. |

E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
Primary objective of phase I: To evaluate the safety and optimal dose of RAD001 in combination with carboplatin in taxane- and anthracycline-pretreated patients with progressive metastatic breast cancer. Primary objective of phase II: Response Rate (SD, PR and CR)
|
|
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
Secondary objectives of Phase II: Duration of response, duration of progression-free survival, clinical benefit, safety and tolerability
|
|
E.2.3 | Trial contains a sub-study | No |
E.3 | Principal inclusion criteria |
• Adult, female patients (≥ 18 years old) • Histologically or cytologically proven breast cancer that is now progressive (metastatic or locally recurrent) and inoperable. • At least two prior chemotherapy regimens due to metastatic or inoperable breast cancer. • Pretreatment with at least one taxane and one anthracycline (separated or combined) in an adjuvant or metastatic setting. • Completion of all prior chemotherapy, immunotherapy, targeted non-cytotoxic therapy and radiotherapy two weeks prior to first dose on study. Concomitant treatment with bisphosphonates is possible. • Karnofsky performance status of al least 60% • Signed written informed consent according to ICH/EU GCP and national/local regulations • Infertility or acceptable method of contraception (PEARL - Index < 1%) o Completion of one or more of the following criteria: - female of non-childbearing potential: hysterectomy, bilateral oophorectomy, bilateral tube ligation, post-menopausal ≥ 2 years - female with acceptable contraception: complete abstinence of intercourse, intrauterine device, two forms of barriers contraception, male partner is sterile and the only partner of the female • Subject is able to understand and comply with the protocol requirements and instructions and intends to complete the study as planned |

E.4 | Principal exclusion criteria |
• Known hypersensitivity against everolismus or sirolimus (rapamycin), carboplatin, or lactose. • Previous treatment with cisplatin, carboplatin, or oxaliplatin. • Previous treatment with RAD001 (Everolimus) or other mTOR-inhibitors • HER2-positive patients who are candidates for trastuzumab • Known uncontrolled metastases in CNS or Meningeosis carcinomatosa. • Prevalence of a hypercholesterinemia/hypertriglyceridemia (> CTC grade 3). • Uncontrolled infection. • Serious cardiac disease (uncontrolled arrhythmias, unstable angina, severe congestive heart failure). • Serious pulmonary, neurological, endocrinological or other disorder interfering with study medication, especially patients with known lung fibrosis, emphysema, or severe COPD. • Bleeding tumor • Serious depression that needed therapy within the last 5 years. • Missing willingness or ability to comply with scheduled visits, treatment plans, laboratory tests, or other study procedures • Concomitant or previous malignancies other than basal cell or squamous cell skin cancer, in situ cervical cancer and other cancer for which the patient has been disease-free for at least 5 years. • Unresolved hepatitis B or C infection or known HIV positive infection. • Inadequate organ function including bone marrow function (WBC ≤ 2.5 x 109/L, ANC ≤ 1.5 x 109/L, Platelets ≤ 80 x 109/L, or Hb ≤ 8 g/dL), liver function (total bilirubin > 1.0 x ULN > 1.5 x ULN, albumin ≤ 3g/dl, serum transaminase activity ≥ 2.5 x ULN or ≥ 5.0 x ULN if the elevation is due to hepatic metastasis, alkaline Phosphatase ≥ 2.5 x ULN or 5.0 if the elevation is due to hepatic metastasis), renal function (creatinine ≥ 2 x ULN) • Patients who received any other investigation drugs within 30 days prior study enrolment • Patients who have been treated during the last five days with inhibitors or inducers the isoenzyms CYP3A (e.g. rifabutin, rifampicin, clarithromycin, ketoconazol, itroconazol, voriconazol, ritinavir, telithromycin). • Women who are pregnant or breast feeding, or women of childbearing potential without highly effective contraception (PEARL-Index < 1%) (women of childbearing potential must have a negative urine or serum pregnancy test within 7 days prior to study enrolment). Oral, implantable, or injectable contraceptives may be affected by cytochrome P450 interactions, and are therefore not considered effective for this study. • Persons who are detained officially or legally to an official institute according AMG § 40 |
