| Main Objective: Overall Survival;Secondary Objective: Treatment efficacy in terms of best overall response, disease control rate and progression free survival safety tolerability ;Primary end point(s): Overall survival in patients treated with Paclitaxel + RAD001 versus Paclitaxel + Placebo;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: every 2 months | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Secondary end point(s): Treatment efficacy in terms of best overall response, disease control rate and progression free survival AEs as determined by CTCAE version 4 and SAEs, discontinuation rate, dose adjustment rate and tolerability ;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: efficacy: staging every 8 weeks toxicity: day 1, 8 and 15 of every cycle | — |
