Study to allow access to everolimus for patients who are on everolimus treatment in a
Novartis-sponsored study and are benefiting from the treatment as judged by the
investigator
Study sponsor and potential other locations can be found on ClinicalTrials.gov for NCT01789281.
This multi-center, open-label roll-over study aimed to better characterize the long-term
safety of everolimus in subjects currently being treated in a Novartis-sponsored studies
and who were receiving clinical benefit on the current study treatment as judged by the
Investigator.
The study was designed to provide continued treatment with everolimus monotherapy to the
subjects. Subjects were allowed to continue combination therapy with Sandostatin LAR®
Depot if they were receiving this combination therapy on the parent protocol. Subjects
were allowed to continue in this roll-over study until they no longer benefitted from the
everolimus treatment as judged by the Investigator, discontinued due to toxicities,
subject withdrew consent or lost to follow-up, disease progression, protocol
non-compliance, or subject death, whichever occurred first. A subject was considered to
have reached end of study when everolimus treatment was permanently discontinued.
As per the original protocol, it was designed to collect only serious adverse events
(SAEs) and protocol defined adverse events of special interest (AESIs). However, due to
the feedback received from health authorities, the protocol was amended in 2016 (3 years
after study was initiated) to collect all AEs (non-serious and serious AEs, and AESIs).
The protocol was also amended to include an Investigator assessment of clinical benefit
at every visit for remaining subjects.
