Inclusion Criteria

Exclusion Criteria

•o Patients who have received \> 2 prior systemic therapies for advanced disease Note: If recurrence occurred during adjuvant/neoadjuvant therapy or \&\#8804; 24 weeks after adjuvant/neoadjuvant therapy completion, the adjuvant/neoadjuvant therapy will be considered as one prior regimen of systemic chemotherapy for advanced disease o Administration of anti\-cancer therapy within 3 weeks prior to randomization, except for fluoropyrimidine monotherapy, where randomization may occur 2 weeks after last dose. o Known hypersensitivity to RAD001 (everolimus) or to its excipients, or to other rapamycins (e.g., sirolimus, temsirolimus) o Chronic treatment with steroids (except for oral, topical or local injection) or another immunosuppressive agent o Major surgery \&\#8804; 2 weeks prior to randomization o Note: Patients must have recovered from the acute effects of surgery prior to randomization. o Malignant ascites requiring invasive treatment (such as ascites drainage) o Lack of resolution of all acute toxic effects (excluding alopecia) of prior chemotherapy, prior radiotherapy, or surgical procedure according to National Cancer Institute (NCI) Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) Grade \&\#8804; 1 o Patients with central nervous system metastases o Known history of HIV seropositivity (HIV testing is not mandatory) o Active, bleeding diathesis, or on oral anti\-vitamin K medication (except low dose warfarin and acetylsalicylic acid, as long as the INR is \&\#8804; 2\.0\) o Any severe and/or uncontrolled medical conditions such as: Unstable angina pectoris, symptomatic congestive heart failure, myocardial infarction \&\#8804; 24 weeks prior to enrollment, serious uncontrolled cardiac arrhythmia Uncontrolled diabetes as defined by fasting serum glucose \> 1\.5 X ULN \&\#8805; Grade 3 hypercholesterolemia/hypertriglyceridemia or \&\#8805; Grade 2 hypercholesterolemia/hypertriglyceridemia with history of coronary artery disease (despite lipid\-lowering treatment if given) Acute and chronic, active infectious disorders and nonmalignant medical illnesses that are uncontrolled or whose control may be jeopardized by the complications of this study therapy Impairment of gastrointestinal function or who have gastrointestinal disease that may significantly alter the absorption of study drugs, with the exception of prior gastrectomy (e.g., ulcerative disease, uncontrolled nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, malabsorption syndrome). Note: Data from the phase II Japanese study of RAD001 in AGC does not show that gastrectomy impairs the absorption of RAD001\. Active skin, mucosa, ocular or GI disorders of Grade \> 1 Significant deterioration of lung function, defined as any of the following: 30% decrease in predicted lung volumes, and/or 30% decrease in DLCO, and/or \&\#8804; 88% O2 saturation at rest on room air.
