Summary

For patients with malignant pleural mesothelioma that has grown despite treatment with standard chemotherapy, no treatment has yet proven beneficial. The purpose of this study is to find out what effects, both good and bad, that everolimus has on the cancer. Everolimus works by blocking a protein that helps the cancer grow. The goal of this clinical research study is to learn if the study drug everolimus can shrink or slow the growth of mesothelioma. The safety of this drug will also be studied. The patients' physical state, changes in the size of the tumor, and laboratory findings taken during the study will help us decide if everolimus is safe and effective.

Conditions

  • Malignant Pleural Mesothelioma

Interventions

DRUG

everolimus

Everolimus will be administered at a dose of 10mg orally once daily continuously. Dose reduction may be required depending on the type and severity of toxicity encountered.
