Study to Collect and Assess Long-term Safety of Everolimus in Patients Who Are on Everolimus Treatment in a Novartis-sponsored Study and Are Benefiting From the Treatment as Judged by the Investigator.
- Registration Number
- NCT02017860
- Lead Sponsor
- Novartis Pharmaceuticals
- Brief Summary
The purpose of this study was to collect and assess long-term safety of everolimus in patients who were currently receiving everolimus treatment in a Novartis-sponsored, Oncology CD\&MA study that had reached its study objectives, were not progressing on the current study treatment as defined by the parent protocol, and were unable to access everolimus treatment outside of a clinical study. Parent studies eligible to participate in the roll-over study were decided by Novartis. Investigator initiated trials (IITs) were not included. The primary objective of the parent study must have been reached and the parent study must have been in the process of being completed and reported.
- Detailed Description
This was a multi-center, open label study to collect and assess long-term safety of everolimus in patients being treated in current Novartis-sponsored studies and who were benefiting from treatment with everolimus judged by the investigator.There was no screening period for this study. Eligible patients were consented and started their treatment with everolimus as soon as they entered the study. Patients had to return to the study center on a yearly basis (± 3 months), but for resupply of study medication, the frequency of the receipt and dispensing followed local practice (e.g., every 2 to 3 months). The dose of everolimus was based on the investigator's judgment.
Adverse events (AEs) were collected continuously throughout the study. For the safe and effective use of everolimus, patient could return to the clinic at any given time following local practice. When AEs were observed, additional visits were arranged by investigator's discretion.
Patients continued to be treated until they were no longer benefiting from everolimus as defined in the parent protocol (disease progression), developed unacceptable toxicities, withdrew consent, were non-compliant to the protocol, the investigator felt it is no longer in the patient's best interest to continue everolimus therapy or the patient died, whichever came first.
A patient reached the end of study when everolimus treatment was permanently discontinued and the end of treatment visit had been performed. All patients were followed for AEs for 30 days after the last dose of everolimus.
The study remained open for approximately 5 years; until such time that enrolled patients no longer needed treatment with everolimus, whichever came first.
