Hormone Receptor-Positive, HER2-Negative Breast Cancer The safety of everolimus (10 mg orally once daily) in combination with exemestane (25 mg orally once daily) (n=485) vs. placebo in combination with exemestane (n=239) was evaluated in a randomized, controlled trial (BOLERO-2) in patients with advanced or metastatic hormone receptor-positive, HER2-negative breast cancer. The median age of patients was 61 years (28 to 93 years), and 75% were white. The median follow-up was approximately 13 months. The most common adverse reactions (incidence ≥30%) were stomatitis, infections, rash, fatigue, diarrhea, and decreased appetite. The most common Grade 3 to 4 adverse reactions (incidence ≥2%) were stomatitis, infections, hyperglycemia, fatigue, dyspnea, pneumonitis, and diarrhea. The most common laboratory abnormalities (incidence ≥50%) were hypercholesterolemia, hyperglycemia, increased aspartate transaminase (AST), anemia, leukopenia, thrombocytopenia, lymphopenia, increased alanine transaminase (ALT), and hypertriglyceridemia. The most common Grade 3 to 4 laboratory abnormalities (incidence ≥3%) were lymphopenia, hyperglycemia, anemia, hypokalemia, increased AST, increased ALT, and thrombocytopenia. Fatal adverse reactions occurred in 2% of patients who received everolimus. The rate of adverse reactions resulting in permanent discontinuation was 24% for the everolimus arm. Dose adjustments (interruptions or reductions) occurred in 63% of patients in the everolimus arm. Adverse reactions reported with an incidence of ≥10% for patients receiving everolimus vs. placebo are presented in Table 6. Laboratory abnormalities are presented in Table 7. The median duration of treatment with everolimus was 23.9 weeks; 33% were exposed to everolimus for a period of ≥32 weeks.

Topical Prophylaxis for Stomatitis In a single arm study (SWISH; N=92) in postmenopausal women with hormone receptor-positive, HER2-negative breast cancer beginning everolimus (10 mg orally once daily) in combination with exemestane (25 mg orally once daily), patients started dexamethasone 0.5 mg/5 mL alcohol-free mouthwash (10 mL swished for 2 minutes and spat, 4 times daily for 8 weeks) concurrently with everolimus and exemestane. No food or drink was to be consumed for at least 1 hour after swishing and spitting the dexamethasone mouthwash. The primary objective of this study was to assess the incidence of Grade 2 to 4 stomatitis within 8 weeks. The incidence of Grade 2 to 4 stomatitis within 8 weeks was 2%, which was lower than the 33% reported in the BOLERO-2 trial. The incidence of Grade 1 stomatitis was 19%. No cases of Grade 3 or 4 stomatitis were reported. Oral candidiasis was reported in 2% of patients in this study compared to 0.2% in the BOLERO-2 trial. Coadministration of everolimus and dexamethasone alcohol-free oral solution has not been studied in pediatric patients. Pancreatic Neuroendocrine Tumors (PNET) In a randomized, controlled trial (RADIANT-3) of everolimus (n=204) vs. placebo (n=203) in patients with advanced PNET the median age of patients was 58 years (20 to 87 years), 79% were white, and 55% were male. Patients on the placebo arm could cross over to open-label everolimus upon disease progression. The most common adverse reactions (incidence ≥30%) were stomatitis, rash, diarrhea, fatigue, edema, abdominal pain, nausea, fever, and headache. The most common Grade 3 to 4 adverse reactions (incidence ≥5%) were stomatitis and diarrhea. The most common laboratory abnormalities (incidence ≥50%) were anemia, hyperglycemia, increased alkaline phosphatase, hypercholesterolemia, decreased bicarbonate, and increased AST. The most common Grade 3 to 4 laboratory abnormalities (incidence ≥3%) were hyperglycemia, lymphopenia, anemia, hypophosphatemia, increased alkaline phosphatase, neutropenia, increased AST, hypokalemia, and thrombocytopenia. Deaths during double-blind treatment where an adverse reaction was the primary cause occurred in seven patients on everolimus. Causes of death on the everolimus arm included one case of each of the following: acute renal failure, acute respiratory distress, cardiac arrest, death (cause unknown), hepatic failure, pneumonia, and sepsis. After cross-over to open-label everolimus, there were three additional deaths, one due to hypoglycemia and cardiac arrest in a patient with insulinoma, one due to myocardial infarction with congestive heart failure, and the other due to sudden death. The rate of adverse reactions resulting in permanent discontinuation was 20% for the everolimus group. Dose delay or reduction was necessary in 61% of everolimus patients. Grade 3 to 4 renal failure occurred in six patients in the everolimus arm. Thrombotic events included five patients with pulmonary embolus in the everolimus arm as well as three patients with thrombosis in the everolimus arm. Table 8 compares the incidence of adverse reactions reported with an incidence of ≥10% for patients receiving everolimus vs. placebo. Laboratory abnormalities are summarized in Table 9. The median duration of treatment in patients who received everolimus was 37 weeks. In female patients aged 18 to 55 years, irregular menstruation occurred in 5 of 46 (11%) everolimus-treated females.

Clinical Pharmacology

12 CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY 12.1 Mechanism of Action Everolimus is an inhibitor of mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR), a serine-threonine kinase, downstream of the PI3K/AKT pathway. The mTOR pathway is dysregulated in several human cancers and in tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC). Everolimus binds to an intracellular protein, FKBP-12, resulting in an inhibitory complex formation with mTOR complex 1 (mTORC1) and thus inhibition of mTOR kinase activity. Everolimus reduced the activity of S6 ribosomal protein kinase (S6K1) and eukaryotic initiation factor 4E-binding protein (4E-BP1), downstream effectors of mTOR, involved in protein synthesis. S6K1 is a substrate of mTORC1 and phosphorylates the activation domain 1 of the estrogen receptor which results in ligand-independent activation of the receptor. In addition, everolimus inhibited the expression of hypoxia-inducible factor (e.g., HIF-1) and reduced the expression of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF). Inhibition of mTOR by everolimus has been shown to reduce cell proliferation, angiogenesis, and glucose uptake in in vitro and/or in vivo studies. Constitutive activation of the PI3K/Akt/mTOR pathway can contribute to endocrine resistance in breast cancer. In vitro studies show that estrogen-dependent and HER2+ breast cancer cells are sensitive to the inhibitory effects of everolimus, and that combination treatment with everolimus and Akt, HER2, or aromatase inhibitors enhances the anti-tumor activity of everolimus in a synergistic manner. Two regulators of mTORC1 signaling are the oncogene suppressors tuberin-sclerosis complexes 1 and 2 ( TSC1 , TSC2 ). Loss or inactivation of either TSC1 or TSC2 leads to activation of downstream signaling. In TSC, a genetic disorder, inactivating mutations in either the TSC1 or the TSC2 gene lead to hamartoma formation throughout the body as well as seizures and epileptogenesis. Overactivation of mTOR results in neuronal dysplasia, aberrant axonogenesis and dendrite formation, increased excitatory synaptic currents, reduced myelination, and disruption of the cortical laminar structure causing abnormalities in neuronal development and function. Treatment with an mTOR inhibitor in animal models of mTOR dysregulation in the brain resulted in seizure suppression, prevention of the development of new-onset seizures, and prevention of premature death. 12.2 Pharmacodynamics Exposure-Response Relationship In patients with TSC-associated subependymal giant cell astrocytoma (SEGA), the magnitude of the reduction in SEGA volume was correlated with the everolimus trough concentration. Cardiac Electrophysiology In a randomized, placebo-controlled, cross-over study, 59 healthy subjects were administered a single oral dose of everolimus (20 mg and 50 mg) and placebo. Everolimus at single doses up to 50 mg did not prolong the QT/QTc interval. 12.3 Pharmacokinetics Absorption After administration of everolimus in patients with advanced solid tumors, peak everolimus concentrations are reached 1 to 2 hours after administration of oral doses ranging from 5 mg to 70 mg. Following single doses, C max is dose-proportional with daily dosing between 5 mg and 10 mg. With single doses of 20 mg and higher, the increase in C max is less than dose-proportional; however, AUC shows dose-proportionality over the 5 mg to 70 mg dose range. Steady-state was achieved within 2 weeks following once-daily dosing. In patients with TSC-associated SEGA, everolimus C min was approximately dose-proportional within the dose range from 1.35 mg/m 2 to 14.4 mg/m 2 . Effect of Food: In healthy subjects, a high-fat meal (containing approximately 1,000 calories and 55 grams of fat) reduced systemic exposure to everolimus 10 mg (as measured by AUC) by 22% and the peak blood concentration C max by 54%. Light-fat meals (containing approximately 500 calories and 20 grams of fat) reduced AUC by 32% and C max by 42%. Distribution The blood-to-plasma ratio of everolimus, which is concentration-dependent over the range of 5 to 5,000 ng/mL, is 17% to 73%. The amount of everolimus confined to the plasma is approximately 20% at blood concentrations observed in cancer patients given everolimus 10 mg orally once daily. Plasma protein binding is approximately 74% both in healthy subjects and in patients with moderate hepatic impairment. Elimination The mean elimination half-life of everolimus is approximately 30 hours. Metabolism: Everolimus is a substrate of CYP3A4. Following oral administration, everolimus is the main circulating component in human blood. Six main metabolites of everolimus have been detected in human blood, including three monohydroxylated metabolites, two hydrolytic ring-opened products, and a phosphatidylcholine conjugate of everolimus. These metabolites were also identified in animal species used in toxicity studies, and showed approximately 100-times less activity than everolimus itself. Excretion: No specific elimination studies have been undertaken in cancer patients. Following the administration of a 3 mg single dose of radiolabeled everolimus in patients who were receiving cyclosporine, 80% of the radioactivity was recovered from the feces, while 5% was excreted in the urine. The parent substance was not detected in urine or feces. Specific Populations No relationship was apparent between oral clearance and age or sex in patients with cancer. Patients with Renal Impairment: No significant influence of creatinine clearance (25 to 178 mL/min) was detected on oral clearance (CL/F) of everolimus. Patients with Hepatic Impairment: Compared to normal subjects, there was a 1.8-fold, 3.2-fold, and 3.6-fold increase in AUC for subjects with mild (Child-Pugh class A), moderate (Child-Pugh class B), and severe (Child-Pugh class C) hepatic impairment, respectively. In another study, the average AUC of everolimus in subjects with moderate hepatic impairment (Child-Pugh class B) was twice that found in subjects with normal hepatic function [see Dosage and Administration ( 2.10 ), Use in Specific Populations ( 8.6 )] . Pediatric Patients: In patients with TSC-associated SEGA, the mean C min values normalized to mg/m 2 dose in pediatric patients (<18 years of age) were lower than those observed in adults, suggesting that everolimus clearance adjusted to BSA was higher in pediatric patients as compared to adults. Race or Ethnicity: Based on a cross-study comparison, Japanese patients had on average exposures that were higher than non-Japanese patients receiving the same dose. Oral clearance (CL/F) is on average 20% higher in black patients than in white patients. Drug Interaction Studies Effect of CYP3A4 and P-glycoprotein (P-gp) Inhibitors on Everolimus: Everolimus exposure increased when everolimus was coadministered with: ketoconazole (a P-gp and strong CYP3A4 inhibitor) - C max and AUC increased by 3.9- and 15-fold, respectively. erythromycin (a P-gp and moderate CYP3A4 inhibitor) - C max and AUC increased by 2- and 4.4-fold, respectively. verapamil (a P-gp and moderate CYP3A4 inhibitor) - C max and AUC increased by 2.3- and 3.5-fold, respectively. Effect of CYP3A4 and P-gp Inducers on Everolimus: The coadministration of everolimus with rifampin, a P-gp and strong inducer of CYP3A4, decreased everolimus AUC by 63% and C max by 58% compared to everolimus alone [see Dosage and Administration ( 2.12 )] . Effect of Everolimus on CYP3A4 Substrates: No clinically significant pharmacokinetic interactions were observed between everolimus and the HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors atorvastatin (a CYP3A4 substrate), pravastatin (a non-CYP3A4 substrate), and simvastatin (a CYP3A4 substrate). The coadministration of an oral dose of midazolam (sensitive CYP3A4 substrate) with everolimus resulted in a 25% increase in midazolam C max and a 30% increase in midazolam AUC 0-inf . The coadministration of everolimus with exemestane increased exemestane C min by 45% and C 2h by 64%; however, the corresponding estradiol levels at steady state (4 weeks) were not different between the 2 treatment arms. No increase in adverse reactions related to exemestane was observed in patients with hormone receptor-positive, HER2-negative advanced breast cancer receiving the combination. The coadministration of everolimus with long-acting octreotide increased octreotide C min by approximately 50%. Effect of Everolimus on Antiepileptic Drugs (AEDs): Everolimus increased pre-dose concentrations of the carbamazepine, clobazam, oxcarbazepine, and clobazam’s metabolite N-desmethylclobazam by about 10%. Everolimus had no impact on pre-dose concentrations of AEDs that are substrates of CYP3A4 (e.g., clonazepam and zonisamide) or other AEDs, including valproic acid, topiramate, phenobarbital, and phenytoin.

12.2 Pharmacodynamics Exposure-Response Relationship In patients with TSC-associated subependymal giant cell astrocytoma (SEGA), the magnitude of the reduction in SEGA volume was correlated with the everolimus trough concentration. Cardiac Electrophysiology In a randomized, placebo-controlled, cross-over study, 59 healthy subjects were administered a single oral dose of everolimus (20 mg and 50 mg) and placebo. Everolimus at single doses up to 50 mg did not prolong the QT/QTc interval.

Pharmacokinetics

12.3 Pharmacokinetics Absorption After administration of everolimus in patients with advanced solid tumors, peak everolimus concentrations are reached 1 to 2 hours after administration of oral doses ranging from 5 mg to 70 mg. Following single doses, C max is dose-proportional with daily dosing between 5 mg and 10 mg. With single doses of 20 mg and higher, the increase in C max is less than dose-proportional; however, AUC shows dose-proportionality over the 5 mg to 70 mg dose range. Steady-state was achieved within 2 weeks following once-daily dosing. In patients with TSC-associated SEGA, everolimus C min was approximately dose-proportional within the dose range from 1.35 mg/m 2 to 14.4 mg/m 2 . Effect of Food: In healthy subjects, a high-fat meal (containing approximately 1,000 calories and 55 grams of fat) reduced systemic exposure to everolimus 10 mg (as measured by AUC) by 22% and the peak blood concentration C max by 54%. Light-fat meals (containing approximately 500 calories and 20 grams of fat) reduced AUC by 32% and C max by 42%. Distribution The blood-to-plasma ratio of everolimus, which is concentration-dependent over the range of 5 to 5,000 ng/mL, is 17% to 73%. The amount of everolimus confined to the plasma is approximately 20% at blood concentrations observed in cancer patients given everolimus 10 mg orally once daily. Plasma protein binding is approximately 74% both in healthy subjects and in patients with moderate hepatic impairment. Elimination The mean elimination half-life of everolimus is approximately 30 hours. Metabolism: Everolimus is a substrate of CYP3A4. Following oral administration, everolimus is the main circulating component in human blood. Six main metabolites of everolimus have been detected in human blood, including three monohydroxylated metabolites, two hydrolytic ring-opened products, and a phosphatidylcholine conjugate of everolimus. These metabolites were also identified in animal species used in toxicity studies, and showed approximately 100-times less activity than everolimus itself. Excretion: No specific elimination studies have been undertaken in cancer patients. Following the administration of a 3 mg single dose of radiolabeled everolimus in patients who were receiving cyclosporine, 80% of the radioactivity was recovered from the feces, while 5% was excreted in the urine. The parent substance was not detected in urine or feces. Specific Populations No relationship was apparent between oral clearance and age or sex in patients with cancer. Patients with Renal Impairment: No significant influence of creatinine clearance (25 to 178 mL/min) was detected on oral clearance (CL/F) of everolimus. Patients with Hepatic Impairment: Compared to normal subjects, there was a 1.8-fold, 3.2-fold, and 3.6-fold increase in AUC for subjects with mild (Child-Pugh class A), moderate (Child-Pugh class B), and severe (Child-Pugh class C) hepatic impairment, respectively. In another study, the average AUC of everolimus in subjects with moderate hepatic impairment (Child-Pugh class B) was twice that found in subjects with normal hepatic function [see Dosage and Administration ( 2.10 ), Use in Specific Populations ( 8.6 )] . Pediatric Patients: In patients with TSC-associated SEGA, the mean C min values normalized to mg/m 2 dose in pediatric patients (<18 years of age) were lower than those observed in adults, suggesting that everolimus clearance adjusted to BSA was higher in pediatric patients as compared to adults. Race or Ethnicity: Based on a cross-study comparison, Japanese patients had on average exposures that were higher than non-Japanese patients receiving the same dose. Oral clearance (CL/F) is on average 20% higher in black patients than in white patients. Drug Interaction Studies Effect of CYP3A4 and P-glycoprotein (P-gp) Inhibitors on Everolimus: Everolimus exposure increased when everolimus was coadministered with: ketoconazole (a P-gp and strong CYP3A4 inhibitor) - C max and AUC increased by 3.9- and 15-fold, respectively. erythromycin (a P-gp and moderate CYP3A4 inhibitor) - C max and AUC increased by 2- and 4.4-fold, respectively. verapamil (a P-gp and moderate CYP3A4 inhibitor) - C max and AUC increased by 2.3- and 3.5-fold, respectively. Effect of CYP3A4 and P-gp Inducers on Everolimus: The coadministration of everolimus with rifampin, a P-gp and strong inducer of CYP3A4, decreased everolimus AUC by 63% and C max by 58% compared to everolimus alone [see Dosage and Administration ( 2.12 )] . Effect of Everolimus on CYP3A4 Substrates: No clinically significant pharmacokinetic interactions were observed between everolimus and the HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors atorvastatin (a CYP3A4 substrate), pravastatin (a non-CYP3A4 substrate), and simvastatin (a CYP3A4 substrate). The coadministration of an oral dose of midazolam (sensitive CYP3A4 substrate) with everolimus resulted in a 25% increase in midazolam C max and a 30% increase in midazolam AUC 0-inf . The coadministration of everolimus with exemestane increased exemestane C min by 45% and C 2h by 64%; however, the corresponding estradiol levels at steady state (4 weeks) were not different between the 2 treatment arms. No increase in adverse reactions related to exemestane was observed in patients with hormone receptor-positive, HER2-negative advanced breast cancer receiving the combination. The coadministration of everolimus with long-acting octreotide increased octreotide C min by approximately 50%. Effect of Everolimus on Antiepileptic Drugs (AEDs): Everolimus increased pre-dose concentrations of the carbamazepine, clobazam, oxcarbazepine, and clobazam’s metabolite N-desmethylclobazam by about 10%. Everolimus had no impact on pre-dose concentrations of AEDs that are substrates of CYP3A4 (e.g., clonazepam and zonisamide) or other AEDs, including valproic acid, topiramate, phenobarbital, and phenytoin.

Animal Pharmacology And Or Toxicology

13.2 Animal Toxicology and/or Pharmacology In juvenile rat toxicity studies, dose-related delayed attainment of developmental landmarks, including delayed eye-opening, delayed reproductive development in males and females and increased latency time during the learning and memory phases were observed at doses as low as 0.15 mg/kg/day.

Carcinogenesis And Mutagenesis And Impairment Of Fertility

13.1 Carcinogenesis, Mutagenesis, Impairment of Fertility Administration of everolimus for up to 2 years did not indicate oncogenic potential in mice and rats up to the highest doses tested (0.9 mg/kg) corresponding, respectively to 3.9 and 0.2 times the estimated human exposure based on AUC at the recommended dose of everolimus 10 mg orally once daily. Everolimus was not genotoxic in a battery of in vitro assays (Ames mutation test in Salmonella, mutation test in L5178Y mouse lymphoma cells, and chromosome aberration assay in V79 Chinese hamster cells). Everolimus was not genotoxic in an in vivo mouse bone marrow micronucleus test at doses up to 500 mg/kg/day (1,500 mg/m 2 /day, approximately 255-fold the recommended dose of everolimus 10 mg orally once daily, and approximately 200-fold the median dose administered to patients with TSC-associated SEGA, based on the BSA), administered as 2 doses, 24 hours apart. Based on non-clinical findings, everolimus may impair male fertility. In a 13-week male fertility study in rats, testicular morphology was affected at doses of 0.5 mg/kg and above. Sperm motility, sperm count, and plasma testosterone levels were diminished in rats treated with 5 mg/kg. The exposures at these doses (52 ng•hr/mL and 414 ng•hr/mL, respectively) were within the range of human exposure at the recommended dose of everolimus 10 mg orally once daily (560 ng•hr/mL) and resulted in infertility in the rats at 5 mg/kg. Effects on male fertility occurred at AUC 0-24h values 10% to 81% lower than human exposure at the recommended dose of everolimus 10 mg orally once daily. After a 10 to 13 week non-treatment period, the fertility index increased from zero (infertility) to 60%. Oral doses of everolimus in female rats at doses ≥0.1 mg/kg (approximately 4% the human exposure based on AUC at the recommended dose of everolimus 10 mg orally once daily) resulted in increased incidence of pre-implantation loss, suggesting that the drug may reduce female fertility.

PATIENT INFORMATION Everolimus (e" ver oh' li mus) Tablets

Read this Patient Information leaflet that comes with everolimus tablets before you start taking them and each time you get a refill. There may be new information. This information does not take the place of talking to your healthcare provider about your medical condition or treatment.
What is the most important information I should know about everolimus tablets?

Everolimus tablets can cause serious side effects, including:

1. You may develop lung or breathing problems. In some people lung or breathing problems may be severe and can lead to death. Tell your healthcare provider right away if you have any of these symptoms:

  • New or worsening cough
  • Shortness of breath
  • Chest pain
  • Difficulty breathing or wheezing
  • 2. You may be more likely to develop an infection, such as pneumonia, or a bacterial, fungal or viral infection. Viral infections may include active hepatitis B in people who have had hepatitis B in the past (reactivation). In some people (including adults and children) these infections may be severe and can lead to death. You may need to be treated as soon as possible.

    Tell your healthcare provider right away if you have a temperature of 100.5˚F or above, chills, or do not feel well. Symptoms of hepatitis B or infection may include the following:

  • Fever
  • Loss of appetite
  • Chills
  • Nausea
  • Skin rash
  • Pale stools or dark urine
  • Joint pain and swelling
  • Yellowing of the skin
  • Tiredness
  • Pain in the upper right side of the stomach
  • 3. Severe allergic reactions. Call your healthcare provider or get medical help right away if you get signs and symptoms of a severe allergic reaction, including: rash, itching, hives, flushing, trouble breathing or swallowing, chest pain or dizziness.

    4. Possible increased risk for a type of allergic reaction called angioedema, in people who take an Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme (ACE) inhibitor medicine during treatment with everolimus tablets. Talk with your healthcare provider before taking everolimus tablets if you are not sure if you take an ACE inhibitor medicine. Get medical help right away if you have trouble breathing or develop swelling of your tongue, mouth, or throat during treatment with everolimus tablets.

    5. Mouth ulcers and sores. Mouth ulcers and sores are common during treatment with everolimus tablets but can also be severe. When you start treatment with everolimus tablets, your healthcare provider may tell you to also start a prescription mouthwash to reduce the likelihood of getting mouth ulcers or sores and to reduce their severity. Follow your healthcare provider’s instructions on how to use this prescription mouthwash. If you develop pain, discomfort, or open sores in your mouth, tell your healthcare provider. Your healthcare provider may tell you to restart this mouthwash or to use a special mouthwash or mouth gel that does not contain alcohol, peroxide, iodine, or thyme.

    6. You may develop kidney failure. In some people this may be severe and can lead to death. Your healthcare provider should do tests to check your kidney function before and during your treatment with everolimus tablets.

    If you have any of the serious side effects listed above, you may need to stop taking everolimus tablets for a while or use a lower dose. Follow your healthcare provider’s instructions.

    What are everolimus tablets?

    Everolimus tablets are a prescription medicine used to treat:

  • advanced hormone receptor-positive, HER2-negative breast cancer, along with the medicine exemestane, in postmenopausal women who have already received certain other medicines for their cancer.
  • adults with a type of pancreatic cancer known as pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor (PNET), that has progressed and cannot be treated with surgery.
  • adults with a type of cancer known as neuroendocrine tumor (NET) of the stomach and intestine (gastrointestinal), or lung that has progressed and cannot be treated with surgery.
  • Everolimus tablets are not for use in people with carcinoid tumors that actively produce hormones.
  • adults with advanced kidney cancer (renal cell carcinoma or RCC) when certain other medicines have not worked.
  • people with the following types of tumors that are seen with a genetic condition called tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC):
  • adults with a kidney tumor called angiomyolipoma, when their kidney tumor does not require surgery right away.
  • adults and children 1 year of age and older with a brain tumor called subependymal giant cell astrocytoma (SEGA) when the tumor cannot be removed completely by surgery.
  • Do not take everolimus tablets if you have had a severe allergic reaction to everolimus. Talk to your healthcare provider before taking this medicine if you are allergic to:
  • a medicine that contains sirolimus
  • a medicine that contains temsirolimus
  • Ask your healthcare provider if you do not know.

    Before taking everolimus tablets, tell your healthcare provider about all of your medical conditions, including if you:

  • Have or have had kidney problems
  • Have or have had liver problems
  • Have diabetes or high blood sugar
  • Have high blood cholesterol levels
  • Have any infections
  • Previously had hepatitis B
  • Are scheduled to receive any vaccinations. You should not receive a “live vaccine” or be around people who have recently received a “live vaccine” during your treatment with everolimus tablets. If you are not sure about the type of immunization or vaccine, ask your healthcare provider. For children with TSC and SEGA or certain types of seizures, work with your healthcare provider to complete the recommended childhood series of vaccines before your child starts treatment with everolimus tablets.
  • Are pregnant, can become pregnant, or have a partner who can become pregnant. Everolimus tablets can cause harm to your unborn baby.
  • Females who are able to become pregnant:

  • Your healthcare provider will give you a pregnancy test before you start treatment with everolimus tablets.
  • You should use effective birth control during treatment and for 8 weeks after your last dose of everolimus tablets.
  • Males with a female partner, you should use effective birth control during treatment and for 4 weeks after your last dose of everolimus tablets. Talk to your healthcare provider about birth control methods that may be right for you during this time. If you become pregnant or think you are pregnant, tell your healthcare provider right away.

  • Are breastfeeding or plan to breastfeed. It is not known if everolimus passes into your breast milk. Do not breastfeed during treatment and for 2 weeks after your last dose of everolimus tablets.
  • Are planning to have surgery or if you have had a recent surgery. You should stop taking everolimus tablets at least 1 week before planned surgery. See “What are the possible side effects of everolimus tablets?”
  • Have received radiation therapy or are planning to receive radiation therapy in the future. See “What are the possible side effects of everolimus tablets?”
  • Tell your healthcare provider about all of the medicines you take, including prescription and over-the-counter medicines, vitamins, and herbal supplements.

    Everolimus tablets may affect the way other medicines work, and other medicines can affect how everolimus tablets work. Taking everolimus tablets with other medicines can cause serious side effects.

    Know the medicines you take. Keep a list of them and show it to your healthcare provider and pharmacist when you get a new medicine. Especially tell your healthcare provider if you take:

  • St. John’s Wort (Hypericum perforatum)
  • Medicine for:
  • Fungal infections
  • Bacterial infections
  • Tuberculosis
  • Seizures
  • HIV-AIDS
  • Heart conditions or high blood pressure
  • Medicines that weaken your immune system (your body’s ability to fight infections and other problems)
  • Ask your healthcare provider or pharmacist if you are not sure if your medicine is one of those taken for the conditions listed above. If you are taking any medicines for the conditions listed above, your healthcare provider might need to prescribe a different medicine or your dose of everolimus tablets may need to be changed. You should also tell your healthcare provider before you start taking any new medicine.
    How should I take everolimus tablets?
  • Your healthcare provider will prescribe the dose of everolimus tablets that is right for you.
  • Take everolimus tablets exactly as your healthcare provider tells you to.
  • Your healthcare provider may change your dose of everolimus tablets or tell you to temporarily interrupt dosing, if needed.
  • Open the blister pack.
  • Swallow everolimus tablets whole with a glass of water. Do not take any tablet that is broken or crushed.
  • Take everolimus tablets 1 time each day at about the same time.
  • Take everolimus tablets the same way each time, either with food or without food.
  • If you take too many everolimus tablets, contact your healthcare provider or go to the nearest hospital emergency room right away. Take the pack of everolimus tablets with you.
  • If you miss a dose of everolimus tablets, you may take it if it is less than 6 hours after the time you normally take it. If it is more than 6 hours after you normally take your everolimus tablets, skip the dose for that day. The next day, take everolimus tablets at your usual time. Do not take 2 doses to make up for a missed dose. If you are not sure about what to do, call your healthcare provider.
  • You should have blood tests before you start everolimus tablets and as needed during your treatment. These will include tests to check your blood cell count, kidney and liver function, cholesterol, and blood sugar levels.
  • If you take everolimus tablets to treat SEGA, you will also need to have blood tests regularly to measure how much medicine is in your blood. This will help your healthcare provider decide how many everolimus tablets you need to take.
  • What should I avoid while taking everolimus tablets? You should not drink grapefruit juice or eat grapefruit during your treatment with everolimus tablets. It may make the amount of everolimus in your blood increase to a harmful level.

    What are the possible side effects of everolimus tablets?

    Everolimus tablets can cause serious side effects, including:

  • See “What is the most important information I should know about everolimus tablets?” for more information.
  • Risk of wound healing problems. Wounds may not heal properly during everolimus tablets treatment. Tell your healthcare provider if you plan to have any surgery before starting or during treatment with everolimus tablets.
  • You should stop taking everolimus tablets at least 1 week before planned surgery.
  • Your healthcare provider should tell you when you may start taking everolimus tablets again after surgery.
  • Increased blood sugar and fat (cholesterol and triglyceride) levels in the blood. Your healthcare provider should do blood tests to check your fasting blood sugar, cholesterol, and triglyceride levels in the blood before you start and during treatment with everolimus tablets.

    14 CLINICAL STUDIES 14.1 Hormone Receptor-Positive, HER2-Negative Breast Cancer A randomized, double-blind, multicenter study (BOLERO-2, NCT00863655) of everolimus in combination with exemestane vs. placebo in combination with exemestane was conducted in 724 postmenopausal women with estrogen receptor-positive, HER2-negative advanced breast cancer with recurrence or progression following prior therapy with letrozole or anastrozole. Randomization was stratified by documented sensitivity to prior hormonal therapy (yes vs. no) and by the presence of visceral metastasis (yes vs. no). Sensitivity to prior hormonal therapy was defined as either (1) documented clinical benefit (complete response [CR], partial response [PR], stable disease ≥24 weeks) to at least one prior hormonal therapy in the advanced setting or (2) at least 24 months of adjuvant hormonal therapy prior to recurrence. Patients were permitted to have received 0-1 prior lines of chemotherapy for advanced disease. The major efficacy outcome measure was progression-free survival (PFS) evaluated by RECIST (Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors), based on investigator (local radiology) assessment. Other outcome measures included overall survival (OS) and objective response rate (ORR). Patients were randomized 2:1 to everolimus 10 mg orally once daily in combination with exemestane 25 mg once daily (n=485) or to placebo in combination with exemestane 25 mg orally once daily (n=239). The two treatment groups were generally balanced with respect to baseline demographics and disease characteristics. Patients were not permitted to cross over to everolimus at the time of disease progression. The trial demonstrated a statistically significant improvement in PFS by investigator assessment (Table 20 and Figure 1). The results of the PFS analysis based on independent central radiological assessment were consistent with the investigator assessment. PFS results were also consistent across the subgroups of age, race, presence and extent of visceral metastases, and sensitivity to prior hormonal therapy. ORR was higher in the everolimus in combination with exemestane arm vs. the placebo in combination with exemestane arm (Table 20). There were 3 complete responses (0.6%) and 58 partial responses (12%) in the everolimus arm. There were no complete responses and 4 partial responses (1.7%) in the placebo in combination with exemestane arm. After a median follow-up of 39.3 months, there was no statistically significant difference in OS between the everolimus in combination with exemestane arm and the placebo in combination with exemestane arm [HR 0.89 (95% CI: 0.73, 1.10)].

Patients were stratified by prior cytotoxic chemotherapy (yes vs. no) and WHO performance status (0 vs. 1 and 2). Treatment with somatostatin analogs was allowed as part of BSC. The major efficacy outcome was PFS evaluated by RECIST. After documented radiological progression, patients randomized to placebo could receive open-label everolimus. Other outcome measures included ORR, response duration, and OS. Patients were randomized 1:1 to receive either everolimus 10 mg once daily (n=207) or placebo (n=203). Demographics were well balanced (median age 58 years, 55% male, 79% white). Of the 203 patients randomized to BSC, 172 patients (85%) received everolimus following documented radiologic progression. The trial demonstrated a statistically significant improvement in PFS (Table 21 and Figure 2). PFS improvement was observed across all patient subgroups, irrespective of prior somatostatin analog use. The PFS results by investigator radiological review, central radiological review and adjudicated radiological review are shown below in Table 21.

Figure 2: Kaplan-Meier Curves for Progression-Free Survival by Investigator Radiological Review in PNET in RADIANT-3 Investigator-determined response rate was 4.8% in the everolimus arm and there were no complete responses. Overall Survival (OS) was not statistically significantly different between arms [HR=0.94 (95% CI 0.73, 1.20); p=0.30]. NET of Gastrointestinal (GI) or Lung Origin A randomized, double-blind, multicenter study (RADIANT-4, NCT01524783) of everolimus in combination with BSC compared to placebo in combination with BSC was conducted in patients with unresectable, locally advanced or metastatic, well differentiated, non-functional NET of GI (excluding pancreatic) or lung origin. The study required that patients had well-differentiated (low or intermediate grade) histology, no prior or current history of carcinoid symptoms, and evidence of disease progression within 6 months prior to randomization. Patients were randomized 2:1 to receive either everolimus 10 mg once daily or placebo, and stratified by prior somatostatin analog use (yes vs. no), tumor origin and WHO performance status (0 vs. 1). The major efficacy outcome measure was PFS based on independent radiological assessment evaluated by RECIST. Additional efficacy outcome measures were OS and ORR. A total of 302 patients were randomized, 205 to the everolimus arm and 97 to the placebo arm. The median age was 63 years (22 to 86 years); 47% were male; 76% were white; 74% had WHO performance status of 0 and 26% had WHO performance status of 1. The most common primary sites of tumor were lung (30%), ileum (24%), and rectum (13%). The study demonstrated a statistically significant improvement in PFS per independent radiological review (Table 22 and Figure 3). The final OS analysis did not show a statistically significant difference between those patients who received everolimus or placebo (HR = 0.90 [95% CI: 0.66, 1.24]).

Figure 3: Kaplan-Meier Curves for Progression-Free Survival in NET of GI or Lung Origin in RADIANT-4 Lack of Efficacy in Locally Advanced or Metastatic Functional Carcinoid Tumors The safety and effectiveness of everolimus in patients with locally advanced or metastatic functional carcinoid tumors have not been demonstrated. In a randomized (1:1), double-blind, multicenter trial (RADIANT-2, NCT00412061) in 429 patients with carcinoid tumors, everolimus in combination with long-acting octreotide (Sandostatin LAR ® ) was compared to placebo in combination with long-acting octreotide. After documented radiological progression, patients on the placebo arm could receive everolimus; of those randomized to placebo, 67% received open-label everolimus in combination with long-acting octreotide. The study did not meet its major efficacy outcome measure of a statistically significant improvement in PFS and the final analysis of OS favored the placebo in combination with long-acting octreotide arm. 1 1 14.3 Renal Cell Carcinoma (RCC) An international, multicenter, randomized, double-blind trial (RECORD-1, NCT00410124) comparing everolimus 10 mg once daily and placebo, both in conjunction with BSC, was conducted in patients with metastatic RCC whose disease had progressed despite prior treatment with sunitinib, sorafenib, or both sequentially. Prior therapy with bevacizumab, interleukin 2, or interferon-α was also permitted. Randomization was stratified according to prognostic score and prior anticancer therapy. The major efficacy outcome measure for the trial was PFS evaluated by RECIST, based on a blinded, independent, central radiologic review. After documented radiological progression, patients randomized to placebo could receive open-label everolimus. Other outcome measures included OS. In total, 416 patients were randomized 2:1 to receive everolimus (n=277) or placebo (n=139). Demographics were well balanced between the arms (median age 61 years; 77% male, 88% white, 74% received prior sunitinib or sorafenib, and 26% received both sequentially). Everolimus was superior to placebo for PFS (Table 23 and Figure 4). The treatment effect was similar across prognostic scores and prior sorafenib and/or sunitinib. Final OS results yield a hazard ratio of 0.90 (95% CI: 0.71, 1.14), with no statistically significant difference between the arms. Planned cross-over from placebo due to disease progression to open-label everolimus occurred in 80% of the 139 patients and may have confounded the OS benefit.

Figure 4: Kaplan-Meier Curves for Progression-Free Survival in RCC in RECORD-1 1 14.4 Tuberous Sclerosis Complex (TSC)-Associated Renal Angiomyolipoma A randomized (2:1), double-blind, placebo-controlled trial (EXIST-2, NCT00790400) of everolimus was conducted in 118 patients with renal angiomyolipoma as a feature of TSC (n=113) or sporadic lymphangioleiomyomatosis (n=5). The key eligibility requirements for this trial were at least one angiomyolipoma of ≥3 cm in longest diameter on CT/MRI based on local radiology assessment, no immediate indication for surgery, and age ≥18 years. Patients received everolimus 10 mg or matching placebo orally once daily until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. CT or MRI scans for disease assessment were obtained at baseline, 12, 24, and 48 weeks and annually thereafter. Clinical and photographic assessment of skin lesions were conducted at baseline and every 12 weeks thereafter until treatment discontinuation. The major efficacy outcome measure was angiomyolipoma response rate based on independent central radiology review, which was defined as a ≥50% reduction in angiomyolipoma volume, absence of new angiomyolipoma lesion ≥1 cm, absence of kidney volume increase ≥20%, and no angiomyolipoma related bleeding of ≥ Grade 2. Key supportive efficacy outcome measures were time to angiomyolipoma progression and skin lesion response rate. The primary analyses of efficacy outcome measures were limited to the blinded treatment period and conducted 6 months after the last patient was randomized. The comparative angiomyolipoma response rate analysis was stratified by use of enzyme-inducing antiepileptic drugs (EIAEDs) at randomization (yes vs. no). Of the 118 patients enrolled, 79 were randomized to everolimus and 39 to placebo. The median age was 31 years (18 to 61 years), 34% were male, and 89% were white. At baseline, 17% of patients were receiving EIAEDs. On central radiology review at baseline, 92% of patients had at least 1 angiomyolipoma of ≥3 cm in longest diameter, 29% had angiomyolipomas ≥8 cm, 78% had bilateral angiomyolipomas, and 97% had skin lesions. The median values for the sum of all target renal angiomyolipoma lesions at baseline were 85 cm 3 (9 to 1,612 cm 3 ) and 120 cm 3 (3 to 4,520 cm 3 ) in the everolimus and placebo arms, respectively. Forty-six (39%) patients had prior renal embolization or nephrectomy. The median duration of follow-up was 8.3 months (0.7 to 24.8 months) at the time of the primary analysis. The renal angiomyolipoma response rate was statistically significantly higher in everolimus-treated patients (Table 24). The median response duration was 5.3+ months (2.3+ to 19.6+ months). There were 3 patients in the everolimus arm and 8 patients in the placebo arm with documented angiomyolipoma progression by central radiologic review (defined as a ≥25% increase from nadir in the sum of angiomyolipoma target lesion volumes to a value greater than baseline, appearance of a new angiomyolipoma ≥1 cm in longest diameter, an increase in renal volume ≥20% from nadir for either kidney and to a value greater than baseline, or Grade ≥2 angiomyolipoma-related bleeding). The time to angiomyolipoma progression was statistically significantly longer in the everolimus arm (HR 0.08 [95% CI: 0.02, 0.37]; p <0.0001). Table 24: Angiomyolipoma Response Rate in TSC-Associated Renal Angiomyolipoma in EXIST-2 Everolimus N=79 Placebo N=39 p-value Primary analysis Angiomyolipoma response rate a – (%) 41.8 0 <0.0001 95% CI (30.8, 53.4) (0.0, 9.0) a Per independent central radiology review. Skin lesion response rates were assessed by local investigators for 77 patients in the everolimus arm and 37 patients in the placebo arm who presented with skin lesions at study entry. The skin lesion response rate was statistically significantly higher in the everolimus arm (26% vs. 0, p=0.0011); all skin lesion responses were partial responses, defined as visual improvement in 50% to 99% of all skin lesions durable for at least 8 weeks (Physician's Global Assessment of Clinical Condition). Patients randomized to placebo were permitted to receive everolimus at the time of angiomyolipoma progression or after the time of the primary analysis. After the primary analysis, patients treated with everolimus underwent additional follow-up CT or MRI scans to assess tumor status until discontinuation of treatment or completion of 4 years of follow-up after the last patient was randomized. A total of 112 patients (79 randomized to everolimus and 33 randomized to placebo) received at least one dose of everolimus. The median duration of everolimus treatment was 3.9 years (0.5 months to 5.3 years) and the median duration of follow-up was 3.9 years (0.9 months to 5.4 years). During the follow-up period after the primary analysis, 32 patients (in addition to the 33 patients identified at the time of the primary analysis) had an angiomyolipoma response based upon independent central radiology review. Among the 65 responders out of 112 patients, the median time to angiomyolipoma response was 2.9 months (2.6 to 33.8 months). Fourteen percent of the 112 patients treated with everolimus had angiomyolipoma progression by the end of the follow-up period. No patient underwent a nephrectomy for angiomyolipoma progression and one patient underwent renal embolization while treated with everolimus. 14.5 Tuberous Sclerosis Complex (TSC)-Associated Subependymal Giant Cell Astrocytoma (SEGA) EXIST-1 A randomized (2:1), double-blind, placebo-controlled trial (EXIST-1, NCT00789828) of everolimus was conducted in 117 pediatric and adult patients with SEGA and TSC. Eligible patients had at least one SEGA lesion ≥1 cm in longest diameter on MRI based on local radiology assessment and one or more of the following: serial radiological evidence of SEGA growth, a new SEGA lesion ≥1 cm in longest diameter, or new or worsening hydrocephalus. Patients randomized to the treatment arm received everolimus at a starting dose of 4.5 mg/m 2 daily, with subsequent dose adjustments as needed to achieve and maintain everolimus trough concentrations of 5 to 15 ng/mL as tolerated. Everolimus or matched placebo continued until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. MRI scans for disease assessment were obtained at baseline, 12, 24, and 48 weeks, and annually thereafter. The main efficacy outcome measure was SEGA response rate based on independent central radiology review. SEGA response was defined as a ≥50% reduction in the sum of SEGA volume relative to baseline, in the absence of unequivocal worsening of non-target SEGA lesions, a new SEGA lesion ≥1 cm, and new or worsening hydrocephalus. The primary analysis of SEGA response rate was limited to the blinded treatment period and conducted 6 months after the last patient was randomized. The analysis of SEGA response rate was stratified by use of enzyme-inducing antiepileptic drugs (EIAEDs) at randomization (yes vs. no). Of the 117 patients enrolled, 78 were randomized to everolimus and 39 to placebo. The median age was 9.5 years (0.8 to 26 years); a total of 20 patients were <3 years, 54 patients were 3 to <12 years, 27 patients were 12 to <18 years, and 16 patients were ≥18 years; 57% were male, and 93% were white. At baseline, 18% of patients were receiving EIAEDs. Based on central radiology review at baseline, 98% of patients had at least one SEGA lesion ≥1.0 cm in longest diameter, 79% had bilateral SEGAs, 43% had ≥2 target SEGA lesions, 26% had growth in or into the inferior surface of the ventricle, 9% had evidence of growth beyond the subependymal tissue adjacent to the ventricle, and 7% had radiographic evidence of hydrocephalus. The median values for the sum of all target SEGA lesions at baseline were 1.63 cm 3 (0.18 to 25.15 cm 3 ) and 1.30 cm 3 (0.32 to 9.75 cm 3 ) in the everolimus and placebo arms, respectively. Eight (7%) patients had prior SEGA-related surgery. The median duration of follow-up was 8.4 months (4.6 to 17.2 months) at the time of primary analysis. The SEGA response rate was statistically significantly higher in everolimus-treated patients (Table 25). At the time of the primary analysis, all SEGA responses were ongoing and the median duration of response was 5.3 months (2.1 to 8.4 months). With a median follow-up of 8.4 months, SEGA progression was detected in 15.4% of the 39 patients randomized to receive placebo and none of the 78 patients randomized to receive everolimus. No patient in either treatment arm required surgical intervention. Table 25: Subependymal Giant Cell Astrocytoma Response Rate in TSC-Associated SEGA in EXIST-1 Everolimus N=78 Placebo N=39 p-value Primary analysis SEGA response rate a - (%) 35 0 <0.0001 95% CI 24, 46 0, 9 a Per independent central radiology review. Patients randomized to placebo were permitted to receive everolimus at the time of SEGA progression or after the primary analysis, whichever occurred first. After the primary analysis, patients treated with everolimus underwent additional follow-up MRI scans to assess tumor status until discontinuation of treatment or completion of 4 years of follow-up after the last patient was randomized. A total of 111 patients (78 patients randomized to everolimus and 33 patients randomized to placebo) received at least one dose of everolimus. Median duration of everolimus treatment and follow-up was 3.9 years (0.2 to 4.9 years). By four years after the last patient was enrolled, 58% of the 111 patients treated with everolimus had a ≥50% reduction in SEGA volume relative to baseline, including 27 patients identified at the time of the primary analysis and 37 patients with a SEGA response after the primary analysis. The median time to SEGA response was 5.3 months (2.5 to 33.1 months). Twelve percent of the 111 patients treated with everolimus had documented disease progression by the end of the follow-up period and no patient required surgical intervention for SEGA during the study. Study 2485 Study 2485 (NCT00411619) was an open-label, single-arm trial conducted to evaluate the antitumor activity of everolimus 3 mg/m 2 /orally once daily in patients with SEGA and TSC. Serial radiological evidence of SEGA growth was required for entry. Tumor assessments were performed every 6 months for 60 months after the last patient was enrolled or disease progression, whichever occurred earlier. The major efficacy outcome measure was the reduction in volume of the largest SEGA lesion with 6 months of treatment, as assessed via independent central radiology review. Progression was defined as an increase in volume of the largest SEGA lesion over baseline that was ≥25% over the nadir observed on study. A total of 28 patients received everolimus for a median duration of 5.7 years (5 months to 6.9 years); 82% of the 28 patients remained on everolimus for at least 5 years. The median age was 11 years (3 to 34 years), 61% male, 86% white. At the primary analysis, 32% of the 28 patients (95% CI: 16%, 52%) had an objective response at 6 months, defined as at least a 50% decrease in volume of the largest SEGA lesion. At the completion of the study, the median duration of durable response was 12 months (3 months to 6.3 years). By 60 months after the last patient was enrolled, 11% of the 28 patients had documented disease progression. No patient developed a new SEGA lesion while on everolimus. Nine additional patients were identified as having a ≥50% volumetric reduction in their largest SEGA lesion between 1 to 4 years after initiating everolimus, including 3 patients who had surgical resection with subsequent regrowth prior to receiving everolimus.

    Geriatric Use

    8.5 Geriatric Use In BOLERO-2, 40% of patients with breast cancer treated with everolimus were ≥65 years of age, while 15% were ≥75 years of age. No overall differences in effectiveness were observed between elderly and younger patients. The incidence of deaths due to any cause within 28 days of the last everolimus dose was 6% in patients ≥65 years of age compared to 2% in patients <65 years of age. Adverse reactions leading to permanent treatment discontinuation occurred in 33% of patients ≥65 years of age compared to 17% in patients <65 years of age. In RECORD-1, 41% of patients with renal cell carcinoma treated with everolimus were ≥65 years of age, while 7% were ≥75 years of age. In RADIANT-3, 30% of patients with PNET treated with everolimus were ≥65 years of age, while 7% were ≥75 years of age. No overall differences in safety or effectiveness were observed between elderly and younger patients.

    Pediatric Use

    8.4 Pediatric Use TSC-Associated SEGA The safety and effectiveness of everolimus have been established in pediatric patients age 1 year and older with TSC-associated SEGA that requires therapeutic intervention but cannot be curatively resected. Use of everolimus for this indication is supported by evidence from a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial in adult and pediatric patients (EXIST-1); an open-label, single-arm trial in adult and pediatric patients (Study 2485); and additional pharmacokinetic data in pediatric patients [see Adverse Reactions ( 6.1 ), Clinical Pharmacology ( 12.3 ), Clinical Studies ( 14.5 )] . The safety and effectiveness of everolimus have not been established in pediatric patients less than 1 year of age with TSC-associated SEGA. In EXIST-1, the incidence of infections and serious infections were reported at a higher frequency in patients <6 years of age. Ninety-six percent of 23 everolimus-treated patients <6 years had at least one infection compared to 67% of 55 everolimus-treated patients ≥6 years. Thirty-five percent of 23 everolimus-treated patients <6 years of age had at least 1 serious infection compared to 7% of 55 everolimus-treated patients ≥6 years. Although a conclusive determination cannot be made due to the limited number of patients and lack of a comparator arm in the open label follow-up periods of EXIST-1 and Study 2485, everolimus did not appear to adversely impact growth and pubertal development in the 115 pediatric patients treated with everolimus for a median duration of 4.1 years. Other Indications The safety and effectiveness of everolimus in pediatric patients have not been established in: Hormone receptor-positive, HER2-negative breast cancer Neuroendocrine tumors (NET) Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) TSC-associated renal angiomyolipoma

    Pregnancy

    8.1 Pregnancy Risk Summary Based on animal studies and the mechanism of action [see Clinical Pharmacology ( 12.1 )] , everolimus can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman. There are limited case reports of everolimus use in pregnant women; however, these reports are not sufficient to inform about risks of birth defects or miscarriage. In animal studies, everolimus caused embryo-fetal toxicities in rats when administered during the period of organogenesis at maternal exposures that were lower than human exposures at the recommended dose of everolimus 10 mg orally once daily (see Data) . Advise pregnant women of the potential risk to the fetus. In the U.S. general population, the estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage is 2% to 4% and 15% to 20% of clinically recognized pregnancies, respectively. Data Animal Data In animal reproductive studies, oral administration of everolimus to female rats before mating and through organogenesis induced embryo-fetal toxicities, including increased resorption, pre-implantation and post-implantation loss, decreased numbers of live fetuses, malformation (e.g., sternal cleft), and retarded skeletal development. These effects occurred in the absence of maternal toxicities. Embryo-fetal toxicities in rats occurred at doses ≥0.1 mg/kg (0.6 mg/m 2 ) with resulting exposures of approximately 4% of the human exposure at the recommended dose of everolimus 10 mg orally once daily based on area under the curve (AUC). In rabbits, embryo-toxicity evident as an increase in resorptions occurred at an oral dose of 0.8 mg/kg (9.6 mg/m 2 ), approximately 1.6 times the recommended dose of everolimus 10 mg orally once daily or the median dose administered to patients with tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC)-associated subependymal giant cell astrocytoma (SEGA). The effect in rabbits occurred in the presence of maternal toxicities. In a pre- and post-natal development study in rats, animals were dosed from implantation through lactation. At the dose of 0.1 mg/kg (0.6 mg/m 2 ), there were no adverse effects on delivery and lactation or signs of maternal toxicity; however, there were reductions in body weight (up to 9% reduction from the control) and in survival of offspring (~5% died or missing). There were no drug-related effects on the developmental parameters (morphological development, motor activity, learning, or fertility assessment) in the offspring.

    Use In Specific Populations

( 2.10 , 8.6 ) For patients with TSC-associated SEGA and severe hepatic impairment, reduce the starting dose and adjust dose to attain target trough concentrations. ( 2.8 , 2.10 , 8.6 ) 8.1 Pregnancy Risk Summary Based on animal studies and the mechanism of action [see Clinical Pharmacology ( 12.1 )] , everolimus can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman. There are limited case reports of everolimus use in pregnant women; however, these reports are not sufficient to inform about risks of birth defects or miscarriage. In animal studies, everolimus caused embryo-fetal toxicities in rats when administered during the period of organogenesis at maternal exposures that were lower than human exposures at the recommended dose of everolimus 10 mg orally once daily (see Data) . Advise pregnant women of the potential risk to the fetus. In the U.S. general population, the estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage is 2% to 4% and 15% to 20% of clinically recognized pregnancies, respectively. Data Animal Data In animal reproductive studies, oral administration of everolimus to female rats before mating and through organogenesis induced embryo-fetal toxicities, including increased resorption, pre-implantation and post-implantation loss, decreased numbers of live fetuses, malformation (e.g., sternal cleft), and retarded skeletal development. These effects occurred in the absence of maternal toxicities. Embryo-fetal toxicities in rats occurred at doses ≥0.1 mg/kg (0.6 mg/m 2 ) with resulting exposures of approximately 4% of the human exposure at the recommended dose of everolimus 10 mg orally once daily based on area under the curve (AUC). In rabbits, embryo-toxicity evident as an increase in resorptions occurred at an oral dose of 0.8 mg/kg (9.6 mg/m 2 ), approximately 1.6 times the recommended dose of everolimus 10 mg orally once daily or the median dose administered to patients with tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC)-associated subependymal giant cell astrocytoma (SEGA). The effect in rabbits occurred in the presence of maternal toxicities. In a pre- and post-natal development study in rats, animals were dosed from implantation through lactation. At the dose of 0.1 mg/kg (0.6 mg/m 2 ), there were no adverse effects on delivery and lactation or signs of maternal toxicity; however, there were reductions in body weight (up to 9% reduction from the control) and in survival of offspring (~5% died or missing). There were no drug-related effects on the developmental parameters (morphological development, motor activity, learning, or fertility assessment) in the offspring. 8.2 Lactation Risk Summary There are no data on the presence of everolimus or its metabolites in human milk, the effects of everolimus on the breastfed infant or on milk production. Everolimus and its metabolites passed into the milk of lactating rats at a concentration 3.5 times higher than in maternal serum. Because of the potential for serious adverse reactions in breastfed infants from everolimus, advise women not to breastfeed during treatment with everolimus and for 2 weeks after the last dose. 8.3 Females and Males of Reproductive Potential Pregnancy Testing Verify the pregnancy status of females of reproductive potential prior to starting everolimus [see Use in Specific Populations ( 8.1 )] . Contraception Everolimus can cause fetal harm when administered to pregnant women [see Use in Specific Populations ( 8.1 )] . Females: Advise female patients of reproductive potential to use effective contraception during treatment with everolimus and for 8 weeks after the last dose. Males: Advise male patients with female partners of reproductive potential to use effective contraception during treatment with everolimus and for 4 weeks after the last dose. Infertility Females: Menstrual irregularities, secondary amenorrhea, and increases in luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) occurred in female patients taking everolimus. Based on these findings, everolimus may impair fertility in female patients [see Adverse Reactions ( 6.1 ), Nonclinical Toxicology (13.1)] . Males: Cases of reversible azoospermia have been reported in male patients taking everolimus. In male rats, sperm motility, sperm count, plasma testosterone levels and fertility were diminished at AUC similar to those of the clinical dose of everolimus 10 mg orally once daily. Based on these findings, everolimus may impair fertility in male patients [see Nonclinical Toxicology ( 13.1 )] . 8.4 Pediatric Use TSC-Associated SEGA The safety and effectiveness of everolimus have been established in pediatric patients age 1 year and older with TSC-associated SEGA that requires therapeutic intervention but cannot be curatively resected. Use of everolimus for this indication is supported by evidence from a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial in adult and pediatric patients (EXIST-1); an open-label, single-arm trial in adult and pediatric patients (Study 2485); and additional pharmacokinetic data in pediatric patients [see Adverse Reactions ( 6.1 ), Clinical Pharmacology ( 12.3 ), Clinical Studies ( 14.5 )] . The safety and effectiveness of everolimus have not been established in pediatric patients less than 1 year of age with TSC-associated SEGA. In EXIST-1, the incidence of infections and serious infections were reported at a higher frequency in patients <6 years of age. Ninety-six percent of 23 everolimus-treated patients <6 years had at least one infection compared to 67% of 55 everolimus-treated patients ≥6 years. Thirty-five percent of 23 everolimus-treated patients <6 years of age had at least 1 serious infection compared to 7% of 55 everolimus-treated patients ≥6 years. Although a conclusive determination cannot be made due to the limited number of patients and lack of a comparator arm in the open label follow-up periods of EXIST-1 and Study 2485, everolimus did not appear to adversely impact growth and pubertal development in the 115 pediatric patients treated with everolimus for a median duration of 4.1 years. Other Indications The safety and effectiveness of everolimus in pediatric patients have not been established in: Hormone receptor-positive, HER2-negative breast cancer Neuroendocrine tumors (NET) Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) TSC-associated renal angiomyolipoma 8.5 Geriatric Use In BOLERO-2, 40% of patients with breast cancer treated with everolimus were ≥65 years of age, while 15% were ≥75 years of age. No overall differences in effectiveness were observed between elderly and younger patients. The incidence of deaths due to any cause within 28 days of the last everolimus dose was 6% in patients ≥65 years of age compared to 2% in patients <65 years of age. Adverse reactions leading to permanent treatment discontinuation occurred in 33% of patients ≥65 years of age compared to 17% in patients <65 years of age. In RECORD-1, 41% of patients with renal cell carcinoma treated with everolimus were ≥65 years of age, while 7% were ≥75 years of age. In RADIANT-3, 30% of patients with PNET treated with everolimus were ≥65 years of age, while 7% were ≥75 years of age. No overall differences in safety or effectiveness were observed between elderly and younger patients. 8.6 Hepatic Impairment Everolimus exposure may increase in patients with hepatic impairment [see Clinical Pharmacology ( 12.3 )] . For patients with breast cancer, NET, RCC, and TSC-associated renal angiomyolipoma who have hepatic impairment, reduce the everolimus dose as recommended [see Dosage and Administration ( 2.10 )] . For patients with TSC-associated SEGA who have severe hepatic impairment (Child-Pugh class C), reduce the starting dose of everolimus as recommended and adjust the dose based on everolimus trough concentrations [see Dosage and Administration ( 2.8 , 2.10 )] .
