Official Title: A Phase I-II, Open-label Study of RAD001 in Combination With Glivec®/Gleevec™ (Imatinib) in Patients With Glivec/Gleevec-refractory/Resistant Gastrointestinal Stromal

Brief Summary:

This trial was a Phase I/II, non-randomized, open label, multi-center study, following a sequential 2- part design. The first part, Phase I, was designed to assess whether there is a pharmacokinetic interaction between Glivec/Gleevec (imatinib) and RAD001(everolimus) as well as to collect safety data when these two drugs are co-administered. The second part, (Phase II), was designed to assess the potential efficacy of the combination in imatinib-resistant GIST patients in two strata of patients:

  • Patients resistant to imatinib as first-line drug therapy and in whom the maximum tolerated dose was at least 600 mg/d (Stratum 1, first-line resistant/refractory)
  • Patients resistant to imatinib as well as to post-imatinib drug therapy (Stratum 2, post second-line therapy).
