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.
