Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion
- Estrogen (ER) and/or progesterone (PR)-positive at primary diagnosis and at metastatic diagnosis where tissue is available (defined as \> or = 1% of staining nuclei)
- Progressive or recurrent breast cancer defined as disease progression or recurrence while on a combination of exemestane with everolimus
- Human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)/neu-negative breast cancer by standard criteria (immunohistochemistry \[IHC\] \< 3+ or fluorescence in situ hybridization \[FISH\] negative if IHC 2+) at primary diagnosis
- Histologically confirmed, measurable or evaluable disease; patients should have at least one measurable lesion; if applicable, Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) criteria should be used
- Life expectancy \> 6 months
- Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status ≤ 2
- Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) \> 1,500/µL
- Platelets ≥ 100,000/µL
- Hemoglobin \> 10 g/dL
- Creatinine ≤ 1.5 x upper limit of normal (ULN)
- Bilirubin ≤ 1.5 x ULN
- International normalized ratio ≤ 1.3 (or ≤ 3 on anticoagulants)
- Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) or alanine aminotransferase (ALT) \< 2 x ULN unless related to primary disease
- Signed informed consent
- Adequate birth control
- Fasting serum cholesterol ≤ 300 mg/dL OR ≤ 7.75 mmol/L AND fasting triglycerides ≤ 2.5 x ULN; NOTE: in case one or both of these thresholds are exceeded, the patient can only be included after initiation of appropriate lipid lowering medication
Exclusion
- Prior treatment with everolimus other than in combination with hormonal therapy for treatment of breast cancer or prior treatment with another mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) inhibitor (sirolimus, temsirolimus) for any indication
- HER2 positive disease as defined by 3+ IHC or positive FISH (both in primary and metastatic sites)
- Active infection: temperature \> 100 Fahrenheit (F), fever of unknown origin, active symptoms or signs of infection as defined by the investigator
- Uncontrolled central nervous system metastases
- Life-threatening, visceral metastases
- Pregnant or lactating women
- Prior chemotherapy within the last 4 weeks
- Prior radiation therapy within the last 4 weeks; prior radiation therapy to indicator lesion (unless objective disease recurrence or progression within the radiation portal has been documented since completion of radiation)
- Concomitant malignancies or previous malignancies within the last 5 years, with the exception of adequately treated basal or squamous cell carcinoma of the skin or carcinoma in situ of the cervix
- History of significant cardiac disease, cardiac risk factors or uncontrolled arrhythmias
- Hypersensitivity to trial medications (everolimus)
- Emotional limitations, which the investigator judges could limit the patient's ability to follow up and comply with study procedures
- Patients receiving chronic, systemic treatment with corticosteroids or another immunosuppressive agent
- Uncontrolled diabetes as defined by fasting serum glucose \> 1.5 x ULN
- Liver disease such as cirrhosis, chronic active hepatitis or chronic persistent hepatitis
- A known history of human immunodeficiency virus (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)
- Patients with an active, bleeding diathesis
- Female patients who are pregnant or breast feeding, or adults of reproductive potential who are not using effective birth control methods; if barrier contraceptives are being used, these must be continued throughout the trial by both sexes; hormonal contraceptives are not acceptable as a sole method of contraception; (women of childbearing potential must have a negative urine or serum pregnancy test within 7 days prior to administration of EVEROLIMUS)
- Symptomatic intrinsic lung disease or extensive tumor involvement of the lungs, resulting in dyspnea at rest
- Taking any of the following agents:
- Chronic treatment with systemic steroids or another immunosuppressive agent (use of steroids as part of management of everolimus toxicities will be allowed)
- Live vaccines
- Patients who have received live attenuated vaccines within 1 week of start of everolimus and during the study; patient should also avoid close contact with others who have received live attenuated vaccines; examples of live attenuated vaccines include intranasal influenza, measles, mumps, rubella, oral polio, bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG), yellow fever, varicella and TY21a typhoid vaccines
- Drugs or substances known to be inhibitors or inducers of the isoenzyme cytochrome P450 family 3, subfamily A, polypeptide 4 (CYP3A)
