  • Patients must be able to provide written informed consent.

Exclusion

  • Yes/No (Response of "yes" = patient ineligible)
  • Prior treatment with any investigational drug within the preceding 4 weeks
  • Chronic treatment with systemic steroids or another immunosuppressive agent

  • Unstable angina pectoris, symptomatic congestive heart failure, myocardial infarction ≤ 6 months prior to first study treatment, serious uncontrolled cardiac arrhythmia
  • Severely impaired lung function
  • Uncontrolled diabetes as defined by fasting serum glucose \>1.5x ULN
  • Any active (acute or chronic) or uncontrolled infection/ disorders.
  • Nonmalignant medical illnesses that are uncontrolled or whose control may be jeopardized by the treatment with the study therapy
  • Liver disease such as cirrhosis, or severe hepatic impairment (Child-Pugh class C)
  • A known history of HIV seropositivity
  • Impairment of gastrointestinal function or gastrointestinal disease that may significantly alter the absorption of everolimus (e.g., ulcerative disease, uncontrolled nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, malabsorption syndrome or small bowel resection)

  • Women who are pregnant or breast feeding, or women/men able to conceive and unwilling to practice an effective method of birth control throughout the trial and for 8 weeks after the last dose of study drug.

  • Patients who have received treatment with an mTor inhibitor in the past 6 months.
  • Patients with a known hypersensitivity to RAD001 (everolimus) or other rapamycins (sirolimus, temsirolimus) or to its excipients
  • Patients who can not undergo FDG-PET are eligible to participate in this study for the purpose of the primary endpoint. Patient with the following will be excluded from FDG-PET piece of the study.
  • Patients cannot have a serum glucose level greater than 200 mg/dl for FDG-PET imaging
  • Patients who are too claustrophobic to undergo FDG-PET imaging
