Complete staging within 4 weeks prior to registration. 11. Karnofsky performance status evaluation ? 60%. 12. Age >18 years. 13. Absolute neutrophil count ?1,500 cells/?l, platelet count ?100,000 cells/?l. 14. Bilirubin ?1.5x the upper normal limit for the institution (UNL); elevation of transaminases, alkaline phosphatase =65 years) yes F.1.3.1 Number of subjects for this age range
Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: 1. Known hypersensitivity reaction to the compounds or incorporated substances (e.g. everolimus or sirolimus (rapamycin) or lactose). 2. Concurrent immunotherapy or hormone replacement therapy and use of hormonal contraceptives. 3. Need for chemotherapy or irradiation of bone metastasis during study treatment. 4. HER2 pos. primary tumour and/ or metastatic lesion. 5. Evidence of metastasis in other organs 6. Uncompensated diabetes mellitus; fasting value of blood sugar of >120 (mg/dl) 7. Corrected (adjusted for serum albumin) serum calcium concentration <8.0 mg/dl (2.00 mmol/l) or ? 12.0 mg/dl (3.00 mmol/l) 8. Abnormal renal function as evidenced by a calculated creatinine clearance < 30 ml/minute. 9. Life expectancy of less than 3 months. 10. Serious intercurrent medical or psychiatric illness that may interfere with the planned treatment (including AIDS and serious active infection). 11. History of other malignancy within the last 5 years which could affect the diagnosis or assessment of metastatic breast cancer. 12. Concurrent treatment with other experimental drugs. Participation in another clinical trial with any investigational not marketed drug within 30 days prior to study entry. 13. Patients being treated with drugs recognized as being strong inhibitors or inducers of theisoenzyme CYP3A (e.g. Rifabutin, Rifampicin, Clarithromycin, Ketoconazole, Itroconazole, Ritinavir, Telithromycin, Erythromycin, Verapamil, Diltazem, see Appendix) within the last 5 days or the expected need for these treatments during study participation. 14.

Patients registered on this trial must be treated and followed at the participating centre which could be the Principal or Co- investigator’s site

| Main Objective: To determine the time to progression (TTP) in patients with no change in bone metastases after an 8 week run in treatment with RAD001 compared to placebo? To determine the time to progression (TTP) in patients with no change in bone metastases after an 8 week run in treatment with RAD001 compared to placebo;Secondary Objective: To determine the objective response rate after 8 weeks of RAD001 To determine the TTP in patients with a response after 8 weeks of RAD001 To determine the overall clinical benefit defined as CR, PR or stable disease > 24 weeks for patients continuing RAD001 after the 8 week run in phase To determine the TTP separately for each stratum To evaluate the safety and toxicity of RAD001 To assess the frequency of bone related events To assess changes of pain intensity during treatment ;Primary end point(s): time to progression bone related events | — |
