The present multi-center, open-label, single-arm study aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety, quality of life and health resources utilization in postmenopausal women with hormone receptor positive breast cancer progressing following prior therapy with non-steroidal aromatase inhibitors (NSAI) treated with the combination of Everolimus and Exemestane.

Conditions

Interventions

DRUG

Exemestane

Exemestane is supplied by Novartis until Everolimus is commercially available for the study setting. Afterwards the investigator will prescribe Exemestane according to the individual label. Commercially available Exemestane will be supplied as tablets of 25 mg strength for oral administration. Complete guidelines for management and administration of Exemestane can be found in the package insert. Exemestane will be dosed starting on treatment Day 1. Patients will be instructed to take 1 tablet of 25 mg Exemestane orally. Package insert instructions should be followed. On the first day of each cycle, patients will receive an adequate drug supply (before commercial availability) or a prescription (after commercial availability) for self-administration at home. The investigator must emphasize compliance and will instruct the patient to take Exemestane exactly as prescribed.

DRUG

Everolimus (RAD001)

Everolimus (RAD001) is supplied by Novartis until Everolimus is commercially available for the study setting. Afterwards the investigator will prescribe Everolimus according to the individual label. Everolimus is formulated as tablets of 10 and 5 mg strength for oral administration. All study medication will be packaged into blister packs. The blisters should be opened only at the time of administration, as the drugs are both hygroscopic and light sensitive. Everolimus will be dosed starting on treatment Day 1. Patients will be instructed to take 1 tablet × 10 mg Everolimus orally with a large glass of water once daily at the same time each day with or without food. On the first day of each cycle, patients will receive an adequate drug supply (before commercial availability) or a prescription (after commercial availability) for self-administration at home. The investigator must emphasize compliance and will instruct the patient to take Everolimus exactly as prescribed.
