Recruitment & Eligibility

• Status: ot Recruiting
• Sex: All
• Target Recruitment: 144

Inclusion Criteria

Adult male or female patients (>=18 years of age). 2. Advanced (unresectable or metastatic) biopsy-proven pancreatic NET documented as follows: ? Radiologic, operative, or pathology reports should document a pancreatic location of tumor at some point in the patient's history; ? Patients must have confirmed low-grade or intermediate-grade neuroendocrine carcinoma. Pathology report should state one of the following: carcinoid, islet cell carcinoma, pancreatic endocrine tumor, low-grade or well-differentiated neuroendocrine carcinoma, atypical carcinoid, intermediate-grade or moderately differentiated neuroendocrine carcinoma; ? Patients with poorly differentiated neuroendocrine carcinoma, high-grade neuroendocrine carcinoma, adenocarcinoid, goblet cell carcinoid and small cell carcinoma are not eligible. 3. Documented objective progression of disease by RECIST criteria while receiving cytotoxic chemotherapy or documented progression at any time after receiving an adequate course of cytotoxic chemotherapy (i.e., at least 3 consecutive cycles or months of treatment with the same cytotoxic drug or regimen). Previous therapy with alpha interferon or tyrosine kinase inhibitors are allowed but would not be considered to be prior chemotherapy. Objective progression of disease must be documented by RECIST criteria. Any of the following would be sufficient according to RECIST: ? a 20% increase in the sum of unidimensionally measured target lesions; ? a new lesion; ? unequivocal increase in non -measurable disease.

Exclusion Criteria

Anticancer therapy within 3 weeks of enrollment including chemotherapy, hormonal therapy, immunotherapy, surgery or radiotherapy. Investigational agents used solely for imaging purposes are permissible if deemed safe and acceptable by local review authorities. Sandostatin LAR Depot is allowed in stratum 2. 2. Hepatic artery embolization within the last 6 months (1 month if there are other sites of measurable disease), or cryoablation of hepatic metastasis within 2 months of enrollment. 3. Prior therapy with RAD001 (everolimus) or other rapamycins (sirolimus, temsirolimus). 4. Patients with uncontrolled diabetes mellitus as defined by fast blood sugar > 1.5 x ULN. 5. Liver disease such as cirrhosis, chronic active hepatitis or chronic persistent hepatitis. 6. Serious intercurrent infections, or nonmalignant medical illnesses that are uncontrolled or whose control may be jeopardized by the complications of this study therapy. 7. No other prior or concurrent malignancy is allowed except for the following: adequately treated basal cell or squamous cell skin cancer, or other adequately treated in situ cancer, or any other cancer from which the patient has been disease free for five years. 8. Known history of immunocompromise, including a positive HIV test. An HIV test will not be required; however, previous medical history will be reviewed. 9. Pregnant or nursing (lactating) women. Unless demonstrated to be post-menopausal (see inclusion criteria), pregnancy should be excluded by serum pregnancy test. 10. Concomitant medications known to inhibit, induce or be a substrate to isoenzyme CYP3A are excluded unless the drugs are medically necessary and no substitutes are available. If there are no acceptable substitutes, special precautions should be taken in these patients.
