Primary Endpoints

Core Phase: European Medicine Agency (EMA): Seizure Frequency Response Rate
Baseline (8-week period before randomization), Week 7 to 18 (12-week maintenance period of the core phase)

Comparison of response rates in the everolimus low-trough treatment arm (3-7 ng/mL), high-trough treatment arm (9-15 ng/mL) and placebo arm. Response means at least a 50% reduction from baseline in partial-onset seizure frequency during the maintenance period of the core phase.

Core Phase: Food & Drug Administration (FDA): Percentage Change From Baseline in Partial Onset-seizure Frequency
Baseline (8-week period before randomization), Week 7 to 18 (12-week maintenance period of the core phase)

Comparison of median percent change from baseline in weekly seizure frequency in the everolimus low-trough treatment arm (3-7 ng/mL), high-trough treatment arm (9-15 ng/mL) and placebo arm during maintenance period of the core phase. Percentage change from baseline in average weekly seizure frequency during the maintenance period of the Core phase (SFcfb) = 100 × (SFB - SFM) ÷ SFB where: SFB is the average weekly seizure frequency in the Baseline phase SFM is the average weekly seizure frequency in the maintenance period of the Core phase A positive percentage change from baseline (SFcfb) means a reduction in seizure frequency whereas a negative percentage change from baseline (SFcfb) means an increase in seizure frequency.

up to 1 year

Clinical benefit rate is defined as the number of patients with complete response (CR), partial response (PR), or stable disease (SD) that lasts at least 6 months. Response was assessed every 2 cycles of treatment (6 weeks) by computed tomography (CT), CT/positron emission tomography (PET), or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Overall response evaluation is based on Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors 1.0 (RECIST 1.0). Per RECIST 1.0 for target lesions: Complete Response (CR), Disappearance of all target lesions; Partial Response (PR), \>=30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions; Stable Disease (SD): Neither sufficient shrinkage to qualify for PR nor sufficient increase to qualify for PD.

Toxicity Profile-Hematological

Median Progression Free Survival
Every 2 months for first 24 months, then every 3 months from >24 to 60 months; up to 48 months.

Progression free survival (PFS) is defined as the time from start of treatment to disease progression or death from any cause as estimated by Kaplan Meier methods. Progression is measured using RECIST 1.1 criteria, defined as at least a 20% increase in size in target lesion and/or unequivocal progression of non-target lesions and/or appearance of new lesions. Patients who have not progressed and are alive are censored at the date the patient is known to be progression-free.

Progression-free Survival (PFS) - All Participants
20 months

PFS during second-line treatment was defined as the time from the date of enrollment to the date of the first documented disease progression or death due to any cause. The primary analysis of PFS was based on a local radiology review of CT scans and MRI collected until the participant experienced disease progression according to Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) 1.0.

Time from randomization to the date of radiological progressive disease as per independent central review, death from any cause, or last tumor assessment, reported between date of first participant randomized until 31Dec2011, cutoff date.

Tumor response and disease progression were assessed using response evaluation criteria in solid tumors (RECIST), version 1.0. All target and non-target lesions identified at baseline were assessed using the same method, CT scan with contrast or MRI with contrast, throughout the trial. All scans were reviewed by independent, central radiology. Disease progression was defined as: 1) a 20% increase in the sum of the longest diameter of all target lesions, taking as reference the smallest sum of the longest diameters of all target lesions recorded at or after baseline or 2) the appearance of a new lesions or 3) the unequivocal progression of non-target lesions overall.

To Measure the Safety and Clinical Effectiveness of the Combination of Carboplatin, Cetuximab and RAD001 in Patients With Advanced (Recurrent or Metastatic) Head and Neck Cancer
Within the first 21 days of therapy

This phase 1 clinical trial used a standard 3 + 3 design. Four dose levels of everolimus were planned to be evaluated, and the standard 3 + 3 design with dose de-escalation was used in the trial. Namely, 3 patients were assigned to starting dose level 1. If no dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) was observed, the trial proceeded to the next dose level, and another cohort of 3 patients was enrolled. If at least 2 of the 3 patients experienced at least 1 DLT, then the dose level decreased; otherwise, if only 1 patient experienced DLT, then 3 more patients were enrolled at the same dose level. If none of the 3 additional patients experienced DLT, the dose was escalated; otherwise, the dose level decreased. Dose reduction continued until a dose level was reached at which 6 patients had been treated and at most 1 DLT was observed.

Part II Daily regimen: Baseline, Days 8, 15 and thereafter approximately every two months starting at month 3 whenever possible

Assessed the pharmacokinetics (PK) of the combination administration of RAD001 and imatinib in this patient population.

Overall Survival (OS) - Phase I & II
about 60 months

Assessed clinical efficacy of the combination regimen in this patient population per Overall Survival (OS). Overall survival was defined as the time from date of start of treatment to date of death due to any cause. For patients still receiving study medication at the time of the analysis, survival was censored at the date of last examination. If a patient was not known to have died but was no longer continuing with study medication, survival was censored at the date of last contact.

4-Month Progression-free Survival (PFS) Rate - Phase II
about 4 months

Assessed clinical efficacy of the combination regimen in this patient population per Progression-free survival (PFS). Progression-free survival (PFS) was the time from date of start of treatment to the date of first documented progression or death due to any cause. Per protocol (PP) population includes patients with no known overall lesion response during 4 months +/- 2 weeks, or who later had response of CR/PR/stable disease (SD). PP population excludes patients with no known response during 4 months + / -2 weeks and no subsequent CR/PR/SD.

Progression-free Survival (PFS) - Phase II
about 60 months

Assessed clinical efficacy of the combination regimen in this patient population per Progression-free survival (PFS). Progression-free survival (PFS) was the time from date of start of treatment to the date of first documented progression or death due to any cause. If a patient had not progressed or died, progression-free survival was censored at the time of last adequate tumor assessment. According to the study protocol no tumor assessments were performed after discontinuation of treatment with study drug. Therefore, for all patients who discontinued treatment without a documented progression but died thereafter, death was considered as PFS event only if it occurred within the regular safety follow-up of 28 days after discontinuation. Otherwise, the PFS time was censored at the last adequate tumor assessment.
