Brief summary
Patients with relapsed ALL will receive 18 days of oral Everolimus (RAD001) in combination with HyperCVAD therapy. The first 6 patients will receive 2.5mg dose of RAD001. The data of these 6 will be reviewed to assess whether or not subsequent patients can progress to 5mg dose of RAD001, or the trial should be closed.
Interventions
Patients suffering from ALL in first or subsequent relapse will start oral RAD001 (everolimus) treatment (either 2.5mg or 5mg depending on which study cohort is open) once daily on day 1 for a total of 18 doses in 18 days in conjunction with the HyperCVAD regimen. Patients achieving complete remission by day 21 of the preceding chemotherapy cycle can proceed with subsequent cycles of the same RAD001 dose and HyperCVAD up to a total of 4 cycles. The first cohort of 6 patients will receive 2.5mg dose of RAD001. The data of each cohort will be reviewed to assess whether or not subsequent cohorts of patients can be given 2.5mg or 5mg dose of RAD001 or whether the trial should be closed.
