• •Patients receiving chronic, systemic treatment with corticosteroids or another immunosuppressive agent. Topical or inhaled corticosteroids are allowed.
• •Patients should not receive immunization with attenuated liver vaccines within one week of study entry or during study period. Close contact with those who have received attenuated liver vaccines should be avoided during treatment with everolimus. Examples of live vaccines include intranasal influenza, measles, mumps, rubella, oral polio, BCG, yellow fever, varicella and TY21a typhoid vaccines.
• •Other malignancies within the past 3 years except for adequately treated carcinoma of the cervix or basal or squamous cell carcinomas of the skin.
• •Patients who have any severe and/or uncontrolled medical conditions or other conditions that could affect their participation in the study such as:

• •2. . unstable angina pectoris, symptomatic congestive heart failure, myocardial infarction within 6 months of start of study drug, serious uncontrolled cardiac arrhythmia or any other clinically significant cardiac disease
• •3. . severely impaired lung function as defined as spirometry and DLCO that is 50% of the normal predicted value and/or 02 saturation that is 88% or less at rest on room air
• •4. . uncontrolled diabetes
• •5. . active (acute or chronic) or uncontrolled severe infections
• •6. . liver disease such as cirrhosis or severe hepatic impairment (Child-Pugh class C).
• •Note: A detailed assessment of Hepatitis B/C medical history and risk factors must be done at screening for all patients. HBV DNA and HCV RNA PCR testing are required at screening for all patients with a positive medical history based on risk factors and/or confirmation of prior HBV/HCV infection.
• •A known history of HIV seropositivity as everolimus has immunosuppressant properties
• •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)
• •Patients with an active, bleeding diathesis
• •Patients who have received prior treatment with an mTOR inhibitor (sirolimus, temsirolimus, everolimus).
• •Patients with a known hypersensitivity to everolimus (RAD001) or other rapamycins (sirolimus, temsirolimus) or to its excipients
• •History of noncompliance to medical regimens
