Protocol summary: 
Title
An open label, multi-center everolimus roll-over protocol for patients who have 
completed a previous Novartis-sponsored everolimus study and are judged by the 
investigator to benefit from continued everolimus treatment.
Sponsor and Clinical Phase
Novartis, IV.
Investigation type
Drug.
Study type
Interventional.
Purpose and rationale
The purpose of this study is to better characterize the long- term safety of
everolimus in patients who are on everolimus treatment in a Novartis-sponsored, 
Oncology Global Development & Global Medical Affairs (OGD&GMA) study and 
are benefiting from the treatment as judged by the investigator.
Primary Objective
To evaluate long term safety data.
Secondary Objectives
To evaluate clinical benefit as assessed by the investigator 
Study design
This is a multi-center, open label study to better characterize the long-term safety
of everolimus in patients being treated in current Novartis-sponsored OGD&GMA
studies and who are benefiting from treatment with everolimus as judged by the 
investigator. There will be no screening period for this study. Eligible patients are to 
be consented and can start their treatment with everolimus as soon as they enter 
the study. All patients must report to the study site for their first visit at which time, 
a quarterly supply of everolimus can be dispensed to the patient/or as per local 
practice.
Patients must return to the study center on a quarterly basis 12 weeks +/- 1 week) 
for resupply of study medication at which time drug dispensing information and 
adverse events will be collected. The patient may return to the clinic at any given 
time as per standard of care, however, only four study visits per year will be 
recorded. All adverse events and serious adverse events will be collected 
continuously throughout the study.
Patients will continue to be treated until they are no longer benefiting from 
everolimus as judged by the investigator (disease progression), develop 
unacceptable toxicities, withdraw consent, are non-compliant to the protocol, or the 
patient dies, whichever comes first.
A patient will reach the end of study when everolimus treatment is permanently 
discontinued and the end of treatment visit has been performed. All patients must 
be followed for adverse events and serious adverse events for 30 days after the 
last dose of study treatment. Following this there are no further follow-up study 
visits.
The study is expected to remain open for 10 years or until such time that enrolled 
patients no longer need treatment with everolimus or are able to obtain commercial 
supply according to local regulations for their medical conditions. 
Population
Male and female patients, who are currently enrolled in a Novartis-sponsored, 
OGD&GMA everolimus study, are benefiting from treatment with everolimus and 
have fulfilled all their requirements in the parent study. All objectives of the parent 
study must have been reached, and the study must be in the process of being 
completed & reported. Approximately 50 patients may enroll into this study.
Inclusion criteria
Patient is currently enrolled in a Novartis- sponsored, Oncology Clinical 
Development & Medical Affairs study receiving everolimus and has fulfilled all their 
requirements in the parent study.
Patient is currently benefiting from the treatment with everolimus, as determined by 
the parent study criteria.
Patient has demonstrated compliance, as assessed by the investigator, with the 
parent study protocol requirements.

Background
1.1
Overview of disease pathogenesis, epidemiology and current 
treatment
The roll-over study is designed to accept patients with varied disease origins. Please refer to 
the parent protocol for the disease background information and rationale for use of everolimus 
in their individual indications.  See Section 1.2.1.2.
1.2
Introduction to investigational treatment(s) and other study 
treatment(s)
1.2.1
Overview of everolimus
Everolimus is a signal transduction inhibitor (STI) targeting mTOR, or more specifically, 
mTORC1 (mammalian 'target of rapamycin' complex 1). mTOR is a key serine-threonine 
kinase playing a central role in the regulation of cell growth, proliferation and survival. The 
regulation of mTORC1 signaling is complex, being modulated by mitogens, growth factors, 
energy and nutrient availability. mTORC1 is an essential regulator of global protein synthesis 
downstream on the PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway, which is dysregulated in the majority of 
human cancers (Boulay and Lane 2007). Consistent with the known activity of mTORC1, its 
inhibition by everolimus has been shown to reduce cell proliferation, glycolysis and 
angiogenesis in solid tumors in vivo, both through direct antitumor cell activity and inhibition 
of the tumor stromal compartment.
mTOR is a key regulatory protein affecting various cell functions (Boulay and Lane 2007). 
The main known functions of mTOR include:

Function as a sensor of mitogens, growth factors, energy and nutrient levels, facilitating 
cell-cycle progression through the G1 to- S- phase in appropriate growth conditions.

Regulation of protein synthesis important for tumor cell proliferation and angiogenesis 
through inactivating eukaryotic initiation factor 4E binding proteins and activating the 40S 
ribosomal S6 kinases (e.g. p70S6K1). For example, activation of the mTOR pathway 
leads to:

Increased production of pro-angiogenic factors (e.g. VEGF) in tumors.

Tumor, endothelial and smooth muscle cell growth and proliferation.
1.2.1.1
Non-clinical experience
For latest information on the pre-clinical pharmacology and toxicology of everolimus please 
refer to the current Investigator Brochure (IB).
1.2.1.2
Clinical experience
In oncology, everolimus has been in clinical development since 2002 for patients with various 
hematologic and non-hematologic malignancies; as a single agent or in combination with 
antitumor agents. Malignancies that are currently being evaluated in Novartis sponsored 

Novartis

studies include the following: metastatic renal cell carcinoma (mRCC), breast cancer, 
pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (pNET/NET), diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL), 
and hepatocellular cancer (HCC). In addition, treatment of patients with tuberous sclerosis 
complex (TSC) associated subependymal 
giant cell astrocytoma (SEGA),
renal 
angiomyolipoma, and epilepsy are also being evaluated.
Phase I dose escalating studies, exploratory Phase I/II/III studies with everolimus as single 
agent or in combination with other anti-cancer agents, Phase II/III studies of everolimus in 
different indications, Phase III double-blind studies and Phase IV studies are contributing to 
the extensive clinical database.
Approximately 27,399 patients, (excluding those patients who received marketed 
Afinitor®/Votubia®, those on planned and roll over studies as well as excluding investigator-
sponsored studies) have been enrolled in studies with everolimus as of 31-Mar-2015.
Oncology
Everolimus was approved by FDA on 30-Mar-2009 under the trade name Afinitor® for the 
treatment of patients with advanced RCC after failure of treatment with sunitinib or sorafenib. 
The European Commission (EC) approved Afinitor® on 03-Aug-2009 for the treatment of 
patients with advanced RCC, whose disease has progressed on or after treatment with vascular 
endothelial growth factor (VEGF)-targeted therapy. As of 31-Mar-2015, Afinitor® has been 
approved in 121 countries worldwide for the treatment of patients with advanced RCC.
On 05-May-2011, FDA approved Afinitor® for the “treatment of progressive pNET in patients 
with unresectable, locally advanced or metastatic disease. Afinitor is not indicated for the 
treatment of patients with functional carcinoid tumors”. The EC approved Afinitor® on 24-
Aug-2011 for the treatment of unresectable or metastatic, well- or moderately-differentiated 
neuroendocrine tumors of pancreatic origin in adults with progressive disease. As of 31-Mar-
2015, Afinitor® has been approved in >115 countries worldwide for the treatment of patients 
with pNET/neuroendocrine tumors.
On 20-Jul-2012, FDA approved Afinitor® for the treatment of postmenopausal women with 
advanced hormone receptor-positive, HER2-negative breast cancer in combination with 
exemestane, after failure of treatment with letrozole or anastrozole. The EC approved 
Afinitor® on 23-Jul-2012 for the treatment of hormone receptor-positive, HER2/neu negative 
advanced breast cancer, in combination with exemestane, in postmenopausal women without 
symptomatic visceral disease after recurrence or progression following a non-steroidal

Pharmacokinetics
Everolimus is rapidly absorbed after oral administration, with a median time to peak blood 
levels (tmax) of 1-2 hours postdose. The extent of absorption is estimated at above 11%. The 
area under the blood concentration-time curve (AUC) is dose-proportional over the dose range 
of 5 to 70 mg tested while maximum blood concentration Cmax appears to plateau at dose 
levels higher than 20 mg. The terminal half-life in cancer patients averaged 30 hours, which is 
similar to that in healthy subjects. A high-fat meal altered the absorption of everolimus with 
1.3 hour delay in tmax, a 60% reduction in Cmax and a 16% reduction in AUC. In whole blood, 
approximately 80% of everolimus is contained in red blood cells. Of the fraction of drug 
contained in plasma, 74% is protein-bound. The apparent distribution volume (Vz/F) after a 
single dose was 4.7 L/kg. Everolimus is eliminated by metabolism, mainly by hydroxylation, 
then excreted into the feces >80%.
Everolimus is mainly metabolized by CYP3A4 in the liver and to some extent in the intestinal 
wall. Everolimus is also a substrate of P-glycoprotein (PgP). Therefore, absorption and 
subsequent elimination of systematically absorbed everolimus may be influenced by 
medicinal products that interact with CYP3A4 and/or P-glycoprotein. In vitro studies showed 
that everolimus is a competitive inhibitor of CYP3A4 and of CYP2D6 substrates, potentially 
increasing the concentrations of medicinal products eliminated by these enzymes. In two 
phase III clinical trials in patients following kidney transplantation, strong inhibitors of 
CYP3A4 (azoles, antifungals, cyclosporine, erythromycin) have been shown to reduce the 
clearance of everolimus therapy thereby increasing everolimus blood levels. Similarly, 
Rifampin, a strong inducer of CYP3A4, increases the clearance of everolimus thereby 
reducing everolimus blood levels. Another drug-drug interaction study of everolimus 
administered with a sensitive CYP3A4 substrate midazolam showed that while everolimus did 
not influence the hepatic metabolism of midazolam, it led to minor increases in bioavailability 
of midazolam likely due to influences of pre-systemic metabolism. Caution should be 
exercised when co-administering everolimus with CYP3A4 inhibitors, inducers, or substrates 
with a narrow therapeutic index.
Pharmacodynamic studies
Pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic modeling based on inhibition in a peripheral biomarker 
(S6 kinase inhibition in peripheral blood mononuclear cells) suggests that 5 to 10 mg daily 
should be an adequate dose to produce a high-degree of sustained target inhibition. 
Furthermore, molecular pharmacodynamic (MPD) studies using IHC in biopsied tumor tissue 
assessed the degree of inhibition and its duration (for p-S6, p-4E-BP1 and p-Akt expression) 
with the daily and weekly dosing. The pathologist was blinded for the biopsy sequence. There 
was almost complete inhibition of p-S6 at all doses and schedules studied (p=0.001). 
Preliminary results suggest a dose-related decrease in p-4E-BP1 and increase in p-Akt 
expression with maximal effect at 10 mg daily and ≥50 mg weekly.

Rationale
2.1
Study rationale and purpose
The purpose of this study is to better characterize the long-term safety of everolimus in 
patients who are currently receiving everolimus treatment in a Novartis-sponsored, 
OGD&GMA study that has reached its study objectives and are not progressing on the current 
study treatment as judged by the investigator. Parent studies eligible to participate in the roll-
over study will be decided by Novartis. Investigator initiated trials (IITs) will not be included. 
The primary objective of the parent study must have been reached and the parent study must 
be in the process of being completed and reported.
Patients will continue to receive everolimus until one of the following occurs: no treatment 
benefit (disease progression) as judged by the investigator, unacceptable toxicity develops, 
consent withdrawal, protocol non-compliance, the investigator feels it is no longer in the 
patient’s best interest to continue therapy, or the patient’s death.
The roll-over protocol is designed to provide continued treatment with everolimus 
monotherapy to patients. If patients are receiving treatment of everolimus in combination with 
other approved therapies, they can participate in the roll-over study, but it is not intended for 
combination with unapproved or experimental treatments.  Therefore, patients may be 
allowed to continue combination therapy with Sandostatin LAR® Depot if they are currently 
receiving this combination therapy on the parent protocol and at the discretion of the 
investigator. Sandostatin LAR® Depot is a formulation of octreotide which can be 
administered on a once monthly schedule and is available commercially worldwide. 
Sandostatin LAR® Depot has been used to treat the symptoms associated with metastatic 
carcinoid tumors (flushing and diarrhea), and vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) secreting 
adenomas (watery diarrhea).  For additional details please refer to the national prescribing 
information.
2.2
Rationale for the study design
This is a multi-center, open-label, phase IV study to better characterize the long-term safety of
everolimus in patients being treated in a current Novartis-sponsored, OGD&GMA study and 
who are benefiting from treatment with everolimus. Patients may be allowed to continue 
combination therapy with Sandostatin LAR® Depot if they are currently receiving this 
combination therapy on the parent protocol and at the discretion of the investigator.
This study will not include a screening phase as patients will transfer directly from the parent 
study and will commence with everolimus as soon as they are consented and meet the 
inclusion criteria of the roll-over protocol.
2.3
Rationale for dose and regimen selection
Everolimus will be provided as 2.5 mg, 5 mg or 10 mg tablets. At the time of transition to the 
roll-over study, the starting dose of everolimus should be the same as the last dose that was 

Novartis
Confidential
Page 17
Amended Protocol Version 01 Clean
Protocol No. CRAD001C2X01B
given in the parent study. Dose modification thereafter may be done at the discretion of the 
investigator based upon what is in the patient’s best interest.  
The roll-over protocol is designed to provide continued treatment with everolimus 
monotherapy to patients. If patients are receiving treatment of everolimus in combination with 
other approved therapies, they can participate in the roll-over study but it is not intended for 
combination with unapproved or experimental treatments.  Therefore, for patients receiving 
everolimus in combination with Sandostatin LAR® Depot, Sandostatin LAR® Depot will be 
provided by Novartis or by the investigational site considering local regulations. At the time 
of transition to the roll-over study, the starting dose of Sandostatin LAR® Depot should be the 
same as the last dose that was given in the parent study.
2.4
Rationale for choice of combination drugs 
Patients may be allowed to continue combination therapy with everolimus and Sandostatin 
LAR® Depot at the discretion of the investigator if they are currently receiving this 
combination therapy on the parent protocol and are deriving benefit as defined in the criteria 
of the parent protocol.
2.5
Rationale for choice of comparators drugs
Not applicable.
2.6
Risks & Benefits
Postmenopausal women with hormone receptor-positive advanced breast 
cancer in combination with aromatase inhibitors, after prior endocrine therapy
Overall, everolimus + exemestane is considered to have a positive benefit-risk profile for 
postmenopausal women with hormone receptor-positive advanced breast cancer in 
combination with an aromatase inhibitor, after prior endocrine therapy; the benefits of therapy 
with everolimus + exemestane outweigh any potential risks.
Advanced neuroendocrine tumors of pancreatic origin 
Everolimus has a positive benefit-risk profile for patients with advanced pancreatic
neuroendocrine tumors (pNET). Prior study results support the use of everolimus for the 
treatment of patients with advanced pNET. Results provided evidence that everolimus, in 
combination with octreotide depot, improved PFS in patients with advanced carcinoid tumors. 
The primary endpoint of the study was not met. More data is needed to better assess the 
benefit-risk of everolimus in this patient population.
Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) after failure of treatment with sunitinib or sorafenib
Overall, everolimus is considered to have a positive benefit-risk profile for patients with 
advanced renal cell carcinoma after treatment failure with sunitinib or sorafenib. The benefits 
of therapy with everolimus outweigh any potential risks.

Study design
4.1
Description of study design
This is a multi-center, open label study to better characterize the long-term safety of 
everolimus in patients currently being treated in a Novartis-sponsored OGD&GMA study and
who are not progressing on the current study treatment as judged by the investigator. Parent 
studies eligible to participate in the roll-over study will be decided by Novartis. Investigator 
initiated trials (IIT) will not be included.
There will be no screening period for this study. Eligible patients can start their treatment with 
everolimus as soon as they enter the study. All patients must report to the study site for their 
first visit and commence study participation. At that time, a quarterly supply of everolimus 
may be dispensed to the patient/or as per local practice.  
Patients must return to the study center at least on a quarterly basis (± 1 week) for resupply of 
study medication.  Drug dispensing information and adverse events will be collected. The 
patient may return to the clinic at any given time as per standard of care or treating physician 
recommendation; however only the quarterly study visits will be recorded. Study medication 
dispensed will be recorded on the dose administration page. 
All reported adverse events and serious adverse events will be collected throughout the study.
Patients will continue to be treated in the roll-over protocol until they are no longer benefiting 
from their everolimus treatment as judged by the investigator (disease progression), they 
develop unacceptable toxicities, they withdraw consent, they are non-compliant to the 
protocol, the investigator feels it is no longer in the patient’s best interest to continue 
everolimus therapy or the patient dies, whichever comes first. At every quarterly visit, the 
investigator is required to confirm that the patient continues to have clinical benefit and may 
continue receiving study treatment.
A patient will reach the end of study when everolimus treatment is permanently discontinued.
The study is expected to remain open for 10 years or until such time that enrolled patients no 
longer need treatment with everolimus or are able to obtain commercial supply according to 
local regulations for their medical condition.

The study can be terminated at any time for any reason by Novartis. Should this be necessary, 
the prematurely withdrawn patient should be seen as soon as possible. The investigator may 
be informed of additional procedures to be followed in order to ensure that adequate 
consideration is given to the protection of the patient’s interests. The investigator will be 
responsible for informing IRBs and/or ECs of the early termination of the trial.

Exclusion criteria
Patients eligible for this study must not meet any of the following criteria:
1. Patient has been permanently discontinued from everolimus study treatment in the parent 
study.
2. Patients who are receiving everolimus in combination with unapproved or experimental 
treatments.
3. Sexually active males, unless they use a condom during intercourse while taking drug and 
for 8 weeks after stopping study medication. Males also should not father a child in this 
period. A condom is required to be used also by vasectomized men in order to prevent 
delivery of the drug via seminal fluid.
4. Pregnant or nursing (lactating) women, where pregnancy is defined as the state of a female 
after conception and until the termination of gestation, confirmed by a positive hCG 
laboratory test.
5. Women of child-bearing potential, defined as all women physiologically capable of 
becoming pregnant, unless they are using highly effective methods of contraception 
during dosing and for 8 weeks after stopping study treatment. 

Women are considered post-menopausal and not of child-bearing potential if they 
have had 12 months of natural (spontaneous) amenorrhea with an appropriate clinical 
profile (e.g. age appropriate, history of vasomotor symptoms) or have had surgical 
bilateral oophorectomy (with or without hysterectomy) or tubal ligation at least six 
weeks prior to randomization. In the case of oophorectomy alone, only when the 
reproductive status of the woman has been confirmed by follow up hormone level 
assessment is she considered not of child-bearing potential
Highly effective contraception methods include:

Total abstinence: When this is in line with the preferred and usual lifestyle of the 
subject. [Periodic abstinence (e.g., calendar, ovulation, symptothermal, post-ovulation 
methods) and withdrawal are not acceptable methods of contraception].

Female Sterilization: Have had surgical bilateral oophorectomy (with or without 
hysterectomy) or tubal ligation at least six weeks before taking study treatment. In 
case of oophorectomy alone, only when the reproductive status of the woman has 
been confirmed by follow up hormone level assessment.

Male partner sterilization (at least 6 months prior to enrolling). [For female study 
subjects, the vasectomized male partner should be the sole partner for that patient] 

Use of oral, injected or implanted hormonal methods of contraception or placement of 
an intrauterine device (IUD) or intrauterine system (IUS), or other forms of hormonal 
contraception that have comparable efficacy (failure rate <1%), for example hormone 
vaginal ring or transdermal hormone contraception.

In case of use of oral contraception, women should have been stable on the same pill 
before taking study treatment.
If a study patient becomes pregnant or suspects being pregnant during the study or within 30 
days after the final dose of everolimus, the investigator needs to be informed immediately 
and ongoing study treatment with everolimus has to be stopped immediately.

6.3.2
Follow-up for toxicities
Patients whose treatment is interrupted or permanently discontinued due to an adverse event 
or clinically significant laboratory value, should be followed up at least once a week (or more 
frequently if clinically indicated) for 4 weeks, and subsequently at approximately 4-week 
intervals, until resolution or stabilization of the event, whichever comes first.
Appropriate clinical experts such as ophthalmologist, endocrinologist, dermatologist, 
psychiatrists etc. should be consulted as deemed necessary. Patients must be followed for 
adverse events and serious adverse events for 30 days following the last dose of everolimus.
6.3.2.1
Follow up on potential drug-induced liver injury (DILI) cases
Patients with transaminase increase combined with TBIL increase may be indicative of 
potential DILI, and should be considered as clinically important events. 
The threshold for potential DILI may depend on the patient’s baseline AST/ALT and TBIL 
value; patients meeting any of the following criteria will require further follow-up as outlined 
below:

For patients with normal ALT and AST and TBIL value at baseline: AST or ALT > 3.0 x 
ULN combined with TBIL > 2.0 x ULN 

For patients with elevated AST or ALT or TBIL value at baseline: [AST or ALT > 2 x 
baseline AND > 3.0 x ULN] OR [AST or ALT > 8.0 x ULN], combined with [TBIL > 2 x 
baseline AND > 2.0 x ULN]
Medical review needs to ensure that liver test elevations are not caused by cholestasis, defined 
as ALP elevation > 2.0 x ULN with R value < 2 in patients without bone metastasis, or 
elevation of ALP liver fraction in patients with bone metastasis.
Note: (The R value is calculated by dividing the ALT by the ALP, using multiples of the ULN 
for both values. It denotes whether the relative pattern of ALT and/or ALP elevation is due to 
cholestatic (R ≤ 2), hepatocellular (R ≥ 5), or mixed (R >2 and < 5) liver injury).
In the absence of cholestasis, these patients should be immediately discontinued from study 
drug treatment, and repeat LFT testing as soon as possible, preferably within 48 hours from 
the awareness of the abnormal results. The evaluation should include laboratory tests, detailed 
history, physical assessment and the possibility of liver metastasis or new liver lesions, 
obstructions/compressions, etc. 
1. Laboratory tests should include ALT, AST, albumin, creatine kinase, total bilirubin, direct 
and indirect bilirubin, GGT, prothrombin time (PT)/INR and alkaline phosphatase. 
2. A detailed history, including relevant information, such as review of ethanol, concomitant 
medications, herbal remedies, supplement consumption, history of any pre-existing liver 
conditions or risk factors, should be collected. 
3. Further testing for acute hepatitis A, B, C or E infection and liver imaging (e.g. biliary 
tract) may be warranted. 
4. Obtain PK sample, as close as possible to last dose of study drug, if PK analysis is 
performed in the study.

Protocol No. CRAD001C2X01B
5. Additional testing for other hepatotropic viral infection (CMV, EBV or HSV), 
autoimmune hepatitis or liver biopsy may be considered as clinically indicated or after 
consultation with specialist/hepatologist. 
All cases confirmed on repeat testing meeting the laboratory criteria defined above, with no 
other alternative cause for LFT abnormalities identified should be considered as “medically 
significant”, thus, met the definition of SAE (Section 8.2.1) and reported as SAE using the 
term “potential drug-induced liver injury”. All events should be followed up with the outcome 
clearly documented.
6.3.3
Anticipated risks and safety concerns of the study drug
It is anticipated that the patients entering the roll-over protocol have tolerated everolimus 
treatment and are anticipated to benefit from continued treatment. 
Guidelines and recommendations for the management of specific everolimus study drug 
induced toxicities (hyperglycemia, hyperlipidemia, stomatitis, infectious pneumonitis, 
reactivation of Hepatitis B and C) are provided in the current everolimus Investigator 
Brochure.
6.4
Concomitant medications
6.4.1
Permitted concomitant therapy
In general, concomitant medications/therapies deemed necessary for the supportive care of the 
patient is permitted.
6.4.2
Permitted concomitant therapy requiring caution and/or action
Everolimus is metabolized by CYP3A4 in the liver and to some extent in the intestinal wall. 
Therefore, the following are recommended:

Co-administration with strong inhibitors of CYP3A4 (e.g., ketoconazole, itraconazole, 
ritonavir) or P-glycoprotein (PgP) inhibitor should be avoided.

Co-administration with moderate CYP3A4 inhibitors (e.g., erythromycin, fluconazole) or 
PgP inhibitors should be used with caution. If a patient requires co-administration of 
moderate CYP3A4 inhibitors or PgP inhibitors, reduce the dose of study drug to half the 
currently used dose. Additional dose reductions to every other day may be required to 
manage toxicities. If the inhibitor is discontinued, the study drug dose should be returned 
to the dose used prior to initiation of the moderate CYP3A4/PgP inhibitor.

Seville orange, star fruit, grapefruit and their juices affect P450 and PgP activity. 
Concomitant use should be avoided.

Co-administration with strong inducers of CYP3A4 should be avoided. If a patient 
requires co-administration of strong CYP3A4 inducers (i.e., phenytoin, carbamazepine, 
rifampin, rifabutin, phenobarbital, St. John’s wort), an increase in the dose of study drug 
up to twice the currently used daily dose should be considered, 5mg increments. Enzyme 
induction usually occurs within 7-10 days; therefore study drug dose should be increased 
by one increment 7 days after the start of the inducer therapy. If no safety concerns are 
seen within the next 7 days, the dose can be increased again one additional increment up 

Novartis
Confidential
Page 27
Amended Protocol Version 01 Clean
Protocol No. CRAD001C2X01B
to a maximum of twice the daily dose used prior to initiation of the strong CYP3A4 
inducer.

This dose adjustment of study drug is intended to achieve similar AUC to the range 
observed without inducers. However, there are no clinical data with this dose adjustment 
in patients receiving strong CYP3A4 inducers. If the strong inducer is discontinued the 
study drug dose should be returned to the dose used prior to initiation of the strong 
CYP3A4/PgP inducer.
Please refer to Table 6-3 listing relevant inducers and inhibitors of CYP3A and to Table 6-4
for a list of relevant substrates, inducers, and inhibitors of PgP.  Please refer to the most recent

Patient numbering
Each patient is identified in the study by a Subject Number (Subject No.), that is assigned 
when the patient is first enrolled in the roll-over study and is retained as the primary identifier 
for the patient throughout his/her entire participation in the trial. The Subject No. consists of 
the Center Number (Center No.) (as assigned by Novartis to the investigative site) with a 
sequential patient number suffixed to it, so that each subject is numbered uniquely across the 
entire database. Upon signing the informed consent form, the patient is assigned to the next 
sequential Subject No. available to the investigator through the Oracle Clinical RDC interface 
(OCRDC).

Accountability Form and other relevant source documents.
6.6.3.2
Study drug accountability
The investigator or designee must maintain an accurate record of the shipment and dispensing 
of study treatment in a drug accountability log. Drug accountability will be noted by the field 
monitor during site visits and at the completion of the study. Patients will be asked to return 
all unused study treatment and packaging on a regular basis, at the end of the study or at the 
time of study treatment discontinuation.
6.6.3.3
Handling of other study treatment
If the patient was receiving a combination therapy with an approved, commercially available 
treatment with everolimus in the parent protocol, and is eligible for the roll-over study, this 
combination therapy will be allowed until the patient permanently discontinues everolimus. 
All Sandostatin LAR® Depot dosages prescribed to the patient and all dose changes during the 
study must be recorded on the Sandostatin Dosage Administration Record eCRF.
Dispensation, compliance and accountability of any combination therapy administered to the 
patient is under the supervision and discretion of the investigator. Sandostatin LAR® Depot 
will be provided by Novartis or by the investigational site considering local regulations.

Not applicable.
7.1.4
Treatment period
The starting dose of everolimus on this roll-over protocol will be the same as the last dose that 
was given in the parent everolimus study. A 3 month supply of everolimus will be dispensed 
to the patient, or what is allowed according to local practice/regulations.
Patients must return to the study center on a quarterly basis (12 weeks ± 1 week) for resupply 
of study medication at which time drug dispensing information and adverse event information 
will be collected. At this time the dose of everolimus is based on the investigator’s judgment. 
At every quarterly visit, the investigator is required to confirm that the patient continues to 
have clinical benefit and may continue treatment with study drug.
The study is expected to remain open for 10 years or until such time that enrolled patients no 
longer need treatment with everolimus or are able to obtain commercial supply according to 
local regulations for their medical condition.
7.1.5
Discontinuation of study treatment
Patients will continue to be treated until they are no longer benefiting from everolimus 
treatment, develop unacceptable toxicities, withdraw consent, are non-compliant to the 
protocol, or the patient dies, whichever comes first.
At the time the patient discontinues study treatment, a visit should be scheduled as soon as 
possible, at which time the End of Treatment visit will be performed. End of Treatment

information will be completed in the eCRF giving the date and reason for stopping the study 
treatment (see Section 7.1.5.1).
At a minimum, all patients who discontinue study treatment, including those who refuse to 
return for a final visit, will be contacted for the required safety evaluation during the 30 days 
following the last dose of study treatment. The completion of the Study Evaluation 
Completion eCRF page is required any time a patient discontinues from the study and must be 
completed 30 days after the end of treatment.
Patients who discontinue study treatment should be considered withdrawn from the study after 
the final visit assessments are performed or when it is clear that the patient will not return for 
these assessments.
If a study withdrawal occurs, or if the patient fails to return for visits, the investigator must 
determine the primary reason for a patient’s withdrawal from the study and record this 
information on the appropriate eCRF page.
A patient will reach the end of study when everolimus treatment is permanently discontinued 
and there will be no further follow-up study visits.
7.1.5.1
Withdrawal of consent
Patients may voluntarily withdraw consent to participate in the study for any reason at any 
time. Withdrawal of consent occurs only when a patient does not want to participate in the 
study any longer, and does not want any further visits or assessments, and does not want any 
further study related contact.
Novartis will continue to retain and use all research results that have already been collected 
for the study evaluation. All biological samples that have already been collected may be 
retained and analyzed at a later date (or as required by local regulations).
If a patient withdraws consent, the investigator should make a reasonable effort (e.g. telephone,
e-mail, letter) to understand the primary reason for this decision and record this information.
Everolimus must be discontinued and no further assessments conducted.
Further attempts to contact the patient are not allowed unless safety findings require 
communication or follow up.
Patients may be withdrawn from the study if any of the following occur:
1. Adverse event(s).
2. Subject withdrew consent.
3. Lost to follow-up.
4. Administrative problems.
5. Death.
6. Disease progression.

Follow up for safety evaluations 
All patients must be followed up for safety evaluations for 30 days after the last dose of 
everolimus. At the end of this period, the investigator should contact the patient to inquire 
about any adverse events or serious adverse events observed during this period. This could be 
done via a phone contact. Following this there are no further follow-up study visits.
7.1.7
Lost to follow-up
For patients whose status is unclear because they fail to appear for study visits without stating 
an intention to withdraw consent, the investigator should show "due diligence" by contacting 
the patient, family or family physician as agreed in the informed consent and by documenting 
in the source documents steps taken to contact the patient, e.g. dates of telephone calls, 
registered letters, etc. A patient should not be considered lost to follow-up until due diligence 
has been completed. Patients lost to follow up should be recorded as such on the appropriate 
Disposition CRF.

Safety monitoring and reporting
8.1
Adverse events
8.1.1
Definitions and reporting
An adverse event is defined as the appearance of (or worsening of any pre-existing) 
undesirable sign(s), symptom(s), or medical condition(s) that occur after patient’s signed 
informed consent has been obtained.
Adverse events of special interest as noted in Section 8.1.3 will be reported as serious adverse 
events.
Abnormal laboratory values or test results occurring after informed consent constitute adverse 
events only if they induce clinical signs or symptoms, are considered clinically significant, 
require therapy (e.g., hematologic abnormality that requires transfusion or hematological stem 
cell support), or require changes in study medication(s).
Any ongoing adverse events from the parent study will be captured as medical history in the 
roll-over database. Any AE that begins (or worsens) after signing of the informed consent for 
the rollover and during the 30-day (or 28-day) safety follow up period defined in the parent 
protocol should be reported in both clinical databases.
Adverse event monitoring should be continued for at least 30 following the last dose of study 
treatment. Adverse events (including lab abnormalities that constitute AEs) should be 
described using a diagnosis whenever possible, rather than individual underlying signs and 
symptoms. When a clear diagnosis cannot be identified, each sign or symptom should be 
reported as a separate Adverse Event.
Adverse events will be assessed according to the current version of the Common Terminology 
Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE). If CTCAE grading does not exist for an adverse event, 
the severity of mild, moderate, severe, and life-threatening, corresponding to Grades 1 - 4, 
will be used. CTCAE Grade 5 (death) will not be used in this study; rather, information about 
deaths will be collected on the EOT page.
The occurrence of adverse events should be sought by non-directive questioning of the patient 
(subject) during the screening process after signing informed consent and at each visit during 
the study. Adverse events also may be detected when they are volunteered by the patient 
(subject) during the screening process or between visits, or through physical examination, 
laboratory test, or other assessments. As far as possible, each adverse event should be 
evaluated to determine:

Novartis
Confidential
Page 37
Amended Protocol Version 01 Clean
Protocol No. CRAD001C2X01B
1. The severity grade (CTCAE Grade 1-4)
2. Its duration (Start and end dates)
3. Its relationship to the study treatment (reasonable possibility that AE is related: No, Yes)
4. Action taken with respect to study or investigational treatment (none, dose adjusted, 
temporarily interrupted, permanently discontinued, unknown, not applicable)
5. Whether medication or therapy was given (no concomitant medication/non-drug therapy, 
concomitant medication/non-drug therapy)
6. Whether it is serious, where a serious adverse event (SAE) is defined as in Section 8.2.1
If the event worsens the event should be reported a second time in the CRF noting the start 
date when the event worsens in toxicity. For grade 3 and 4 adverse events only, if 
improvement to a lower grade is determined a new entry for this event should be reported in 
the CRF noting the start date when the event improved from having been Grade 3 or Grade 4.  
All adverse events should be treated appropriately. If a concomitant medication or non-drug 
therapy is given, this action should be recorded on the Adverse Event CRF.
Once an adverse event is detected, it should be followed until its resolution or until it is 
judged to be permanent, and assessment should be made at each visit (or more frequently, if 
necessary) of any changes in severity, the suspected relationship to the study treatment, the 
interventions required to treat it, and the outcome.
Progression of malignancy (including fatal outcomes), if documented by use of appropriate 
method (for example, as per RECIST criteria for solid tumors or as per Cheson's guidelines 
for hematological malignancies), should not be reported as a serious adverse event.
Adverse events separate from the progression of malignancy (example, deep vein thrombosis 
at the time of progression or hemoptysis concurrent with finding of disease progression) will 
be reported as per usual guidelines used for such events with proper attribution regarding 
relatedness to the drug.
8.1.2
Laboratory test abnormalities
8.1.2.1
Definitions and reporting
Laboratory abnormalities that constitute an Adverse event in their own right (are considered 
clinically significant, induce clinical signs or symptoms, require concomitant therapy or 
require changes in study treatment), should be recorded on the Adverse Events CRF. 
Whenever possible, a diagnosis, rather than a symptom should be provided (e.g. anemia 
instead of low hemoglobin). Laboratory abnormalities that meet the criteria for Adverse 
Events should be followed until they have returned to normal or an adequate explanation of 
the abnormality is found. When an abnormal laboratory or test result corresponds to a 
sign/symptom of an already reported adverse event, it is not necessary to separately record the 
lab/test result as an additional event.
Laboratory abnormalities, that do not meet the definition of an adverse event, should not be 
reported as adverse events. A Grade 3 or 4 event (severe) as per CTCAE does not 
automatically indicate a SAE unless it meets the definition of serious as defined below and/or 
as per investigator’s discretion. A dose hold or medication for the lab abnormality may be 

Novartis
Confidential
Page 38
Amended Protocol Version 01 Clean
Protocol No. CRAD001C2X01B
required by the protocol in which case the lab abnormality would still, by definition, be an 
adverse event and must be reported as such.
8.1.3
Adverse events of special interest 
Adverse events of special interest (AESI) are defined as events (serious or non-serious) which 
are ones of scientific and medical concern specific to the sponsor’s product or program, for 
which ongoing monitoring and rapid communication by the investigator to the sponsor may 
be appropriate. Such events may require further investigation in order to characterize and 
understand them. 
Adverse events of special interest are defined on the basis of an ongoing review of the safety 
data. AESIs are discussed in detail in the Investigator Brochure. 
In addition to all serious adverse events reported on a continuous basis throughout the study, 
the investigator should use the SAE form to report the following medically significant 
potential risks noted in the Novartis Risk Management Plan for everolimus:

Development toxicity

Reproductive (teratogenicity) toxicity

Intestinal obstruction /ileus

Male infertility

Pancreatitis

Cholelithiasis

Muscle-wasting/Muscle-loss
8.2
Serious adverse events
8.2.1
Definitions
Serious adverse event (SAE) is defined as one of the following:

Is fatal or life-threatening

Results in persistent or significant disability/incapacity

Constitutes a congenital anomaly/birth defect

Is medically significant, i.e., defined as an event that jeopardizes the patient or may 
require medical or surgical intervention to prevent one of the outcomes listed above

Requires inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization, 

Note that hospitalizations for the following reasons should not be reported as serious 
adverse events:

Routine treatment or monitoring of the studied indication, not associated with any 
deterioration in condition 

Elective or pre-planned treatment for a pre-existing condition that is unrelated to the 
indication under study and has not worsened since signing the informed consent

Social reasons and respite care in the absence of any deterioration in the patient’s 
general condition

Novartis

Page 39
Amended Protocol Version 01 Clean
Protocol No. CRAD001C2X01B

Note that treatment on an emergency outpatient basis that does not result in hospital 
admission and involves an event not fulfilling any of the definitions of a SAE given above 
is not a serious adverse event
8.2.2
Reporting
To ensure patient safety, every SAE, regardless of suspected causality, occurring after the 
patient has provided informed consent and until at least 30 days after the patient has stopped 
study treatment must be reported to Novartis within 24 hours of learning of its occurrence.
Any SAE that begins or worsens after signing of the informed consent for the roll-over and 
during the 30-day (or 28-day) safety follow up period defined in the parent protocol should be 
reported as an adverse event in both clinical databases; however, only one SAE report will be 
sent to Novartis.

Any SAE that begins or worsens during the 30-day (or 28-day) safety follow up period
specified in the parent study, should have an SAE report submitted to Novartis with the 
parent protocol study number. 

Any SAE that begins or worsens after the 30-day (or 28-day) safety follow-up period 
specified in the parent study, should have an SAE report submitted to Novartis with the 
roll-over protocol study number.
Any additional information for the SAE including complications, progression of the initial 
SAE, and recurrent episodes must be reported as follow-up to the original episode within 24 
hours of the investigator receiving the follow-up information. An SAE occurring at a different 
time interval or otherwise considered completely unrelated to a previously reported one 
should be reported separately as a new event.
It is important to use the right SAE form with the correct protocol number for these two 
scenarios, to avoid confusion in SAE processing. For a patient already on the roll-over 
protocol but follow up information is reported for the previous SAEs in the parent protocol, it 
must be clearly labeled that this is for the parent protocol number.
Any SAEs experienced after the 30 day safety evaluation follow-up period should only be 
reported to Novartis if the investigator suspects a causal relationship to the study treatment.  
Information about all SAEs is collected and recorded on the Serious Adverse Event Report 
Form; all applicable sections of the form must be completed in order to provide a clinically 
thorough report. The investigator must assess and record the relationship of each SAE to each 
specific study treatment (if there is more than one study treatment), complete the SAE Report 
Form in English, and submit the completed form within 24 hours to Novartis.  Detailed 
instructions regarding the SAE submission process and requirements for signatures are to be 
found in the investigator folder provided to each site.
Follow-up information is submitted in the same way as the original SAE Report. Each re-
occurrence, complication, or progression of the original event should be reported as a follow-
up to that event regardless of when it occurs. The follow-up information should describe 
whether the event has resolved or continues, if and how it was treated, whether the blind was 
broken or not, and whether the patient continued or withdrew from study participation.

If the SAE is not previously documented in the Investigator’s Brochure or Package Insert 
(new occurrence) and is thought to be related to the Novartis study treatment, an oncology 
Novartis Drug Safety and Epidemiology (DS&E) department associate may urgently require 
further information from the investigator for Health Authority reporting. Novartis may need to 
issue an Investigator Notification (IN), to inform all investigators involved in any study with 
the same drug that this SAE has been reported. Suspected Unexpected Serious Adverse 
Reactions (SUSARs) will be collected and reported to the competent authorities and relevant 
ethics committees in accordance with Directive 2001/20/EC or as per national regulatory 
requirements in participating countries.

Emergency unblinding of treatment assignment
Not applicable.
8.4
Pregnancies
To ensure patient safety, each pregnancy occurring while the patient is on study treatment 
must be reported to Novartis within 24 hours of learning of its occurrence. The pregnancy 
should be followed up to determine outcome, including spontaneous or voluntary termination, 
details of the birth, and the presence or absence of any birth defects, congenital abnormalities, 
or maternal and/or newborn complications.
Pregnancy should be recorded on a Clinical Trial Pregnancy Form and reported by the 
investigator to the oncology Novartis Drug Safety and Epidemiology Department (DS&E). 
Pregnancy follow-up should be recorded on the same form and should include an assessment 
of the possible relationship to the study treatment of any pregnancy outcome. Any SAE 
experienced during pregnancy must be reported on the SAE Report Form.
Pregnancy outcomes must be collected for the female partners of any males who took study 
treatment in this study. Consent to report information regarding these pregnancy outcomes 
should be obtained from the mother.
Preclinical data regarding reproductive toxicity is described in the most recent Investigator 
Brochure. The potential reproductive risk for humans is unknown.  Women of childbearing 
potential should be advised to use highly effective contraception methods while they are 
receiving everolimus and up to 8 weeks after treatment has been stopped.  If a pregnancy 
occurs while on study treatment, the newborn will be followed for at least 12 months.
8.5
Warnings and precautions
No evidence available at the time of the approval of this study protocol indicated that special 
warnings or precautions were appropriate, other than those noted in the provided Investigator
Brochure. Additional safety information collected between IB updates will be communicated 
in the form of Investigator Notifications. This information will be included in the patient 
informed consent and should be discussed with the patient during the study as needed.

laws and regulations. Those regulations require a signed subject authorization informing the 
subject of the following:

What protected health information (PHI) will be collected from subjects in this study

Who will have access to that information and why

Who will use or disclose that information

The rights of a research subject to revoke their authorization for use of their PHI.
In the event that a subject revokes authorization to collect or use PHI, the investigator, by 
regulation, retains the ability to use all information collected prior to the revocation of subject 
authorization. For subjects that have revoked authorization to collect or use PHI, attempts 
should be made to obtain permission to collect follow-up safety information (e.g. has the 
subject experienced any new or worsened AEs) at the end of their scheduled study period.
The data collection system for this study uses built-in security features to encrypt all data for 
transmission in both directions, preventing unauthorized access to confidential participant 
information. Access to the system will be controlled by a sequence of individually assigned 
user identification codes and passwords, made available only to authorized personnel who 
have completed prerequisite training.
9.2
Site monitoring
Before study initiation, at a site initiation visit or at an investigator’s meeting, Novartis 
personnel (or designated CRO) will review the protocol and CRFs with the investigators and 
their staff. During the study, the field monitor will visit the site regularly to check the 
completeness of patient records, the accuracy of entries on the CRFs, the adherence to the 
protocol to Good Clinical Practice, the progress of enrollment, and to ensure that study 
treatment is being stored, dispensed, and accounted for according to specifications. Key study 
personnel must be available to assist the field monitor during these visits.
The investigator must maintain source documents for each patient in the study, consisting of 
case and visit notes (hospital or clinic medical records) containing demographic and medical 
information, laboratory data, electrocardiograms, and the results of any other tests or 
assessments. All information recorded on CRFs must be traceable to source documents in the 
patient's file. The investigator must also keep the original signed informed consent form (a 
signed copy is given to the patient).
The investigator must give the monitor access to all relevant source documents to confirm 
their consistency with the CRF entries. Novartis monitoring standards require full verification 
for the presence of informed consent, adherence to the inclusion/exclusion criteria and

documentation of SAEs. Additional checks of the consistency of the source data with the 
CRFs are performed according to the study-specific monitoring plan.
9.3
Data collection
For studies using Electronic Data Capture (EDC), the designated investigator staff will enter 
the data required by the protocol into the Electronic Case Report Forms (eCRF). The eCRFs 
have been built using fully validated secure web-enabled software that conforms to 21 CFR 
Part 11 requirements, Investigator site staff will not be given access to the EDC system until 
they have been trained. Automatic validation programs check for data discrepancies in the 
eCRFs and, allow modification or verification of the entered data by the investigator staff.
The Principal Investigator is responsible for assuring that the data entered in eCRFs is 
complete, accurate, and that entry and updates are performed in a timely manner.
9.4
Database management and quality control
For studies using eCRFs, Novartis personnel (or designated CRO) will review the data entered 
by investigational staff for completeness and accuracy. Electronic data queries stating the 
nature of the problem and requesting clarification will be created for discrepancies and 
missing values and sent to the investigational site via the EDC system. Designated 
investigator site staff are required to respond promptly to queries and to make any necessary 
changes to the data.
At the conclusion of the study, the occurrence of any protocol violations will be determined. 
After these actions have been completed and the data has been verified to be complete and 
accurate, the database will be declared locked and made available for data analysis. 
Authorization is required prior to making any database changes to locked data, by joint 
written agreement between the Global Head of Biostatistics and Data Management and the 
Global Head of Clinical Development.
For EDC studies, after database lock, the investigator will receive a CD-ROM or paper copies 
of the patient data for archiving at the investigational site.

Ethical considerations and administrative procedures
11.1
Regulatory and ethical compliance
This clinical study was designed, shall be implemented and reported in accordance with the 
ICH Harmonized Tripartite Guidelines for Good Clinical Practice, with applicable local 
regulations (including European Directive 2001/20/EC and US Code of Federal Regulations 
Title 21), and with the ethical principles laid down in the Declaration of Helsinki.
11.2
Responsibilities of the investigator and IRB/IEC/REB
The protocol and the proposed informed consent form must be reviewed and approved by a 
properly constituted Institutional Review Board/Independent Ethics Committee/Research 
Ethics Board (IRB/IEC/REB) before study start. Prior to study start, the investigator is 
required to sign a protocol signature page confirming his/her agreement to conduct the study 
in accordance with these documents and all of the instructions and procedures found in this 
protocol and to give access to all relevant data and records to Novartis monitors, auditors, 
Novartis Clinical Quality Assurance representatives, designated agents of Novartis, 
IRBs/IECs/REBs and regulatory authorities as required.
11.3
Informed consent procedures
Eligible patients may only be included in the study after providing written (witnessed, where 
required by law or regulation), IRB/IEC/REB-approved informed consent 
Informed consent must be obtained before conducting any study-specific procedures (i.e. all 
of the procedures described in the protocol). The process of obtaining informed consent 
should be documented in the patient source documents. The date when a subject’s Informed 
Consent was actually obtained will be captured in their CRFs.
Novartis will provide to investigators, in a separate document, a proposed informed consent 
form (ICF) that is considered appropriate for this study and complies with the ICH GCP 
guideline and regulatory requirements. Any changes to this ICF suggested by the investigator 
must be agreed to by Novartis before submission to the IRB/IEC/REB, and a copy of the 
approved version must be provided to the Novartis monitor after IRB/IEC/REB approval.
Women of child bearing potential should be informed that taking the study medication may 
involve unknown risks to the fetus if pregnancy were to occur during the study and agree that 
in order to participate in the study they must adhere to the contraception requirement for the 
duration of the study. If there is any question that the patient will not reliably comply, they 
should not be entered in the study.
Additional consent form 
Not applicable.

11.4
Discontinuation of the study
Novartis reserves the right to discontinue this study under the conditions specified in the 
clinical study agreement. Specific conditions for terminating the study are outlined in Section 
4.4.
11.5
Publication of study protocol and results
Novartis assures that the key design elements of this protocol will be posted in a publicly 
accessible database such as clinicaltrials.gov. In addition, upon study completion and 
finalization of the study report the results of this study will be either submitted for publication 
and/or posted in a publicly accessible database of clinical study results.
11.6
Study documentation, record keeping and retention of 
documents
Each participating site will maintain appropriate medical and research records for this trial, in 
compliance with Section 4.9 of the ICH E6 GCP, and regulatory and institutional 
requirements for the protection of confidentiality of subjects. As part of participating in a 
Novartis-sponsored study, each site will permit authorized representatives of the sponsor(s) 
and regulatory agencies to examine (and when required by applicable law, to copy) clinical 
records for the purposes of quality assurance reviews, audits and evaluation of the study 
safety and progress.
Source data are all information, original records of clinical findings, observations, or other 
activities in a clinical trial necessary for the reconstruction and evaluation of the trial. 
Examples of these original documents and data records include, but are not limited to, hospital 
records, clinical and office charts, laboratory notes, memoranda, subjects’ diaries or 
evaluation checklists, pharmacy dispensing records, recorded data from automated 
instruments, copies or transcriptions certified after verification as being accurate and complete, 
microfiches, photographic negatives, microfilm or magnetic media, x-rays, and subject files 
and records kept at the pharmacy, at the laboratories, and medico-technical departments 
involved in the clinical trial.
Data collection is the responsibility of the clinical trial staff at the site under the supervision of 
the site Principal Investigator. The study case report form (CRF) is the primary data collection 
instrument for the study. The investigator should ensure the accuracy, completeness, legibility, 
and timeliness of the data reported in the CRFs and all other required reports. Data reported 
on the CRF, that are derived from source documents, should be consistent with the source 
documents or the discrepancies should be explained. All data requested on the CRF must be 
recorded. Any missing data must be explained. Any change or correction to a paper CRF 
should be dated, initialed, and explained (if necessary) and should not obscure the original 
entry. For electronic CRFs an audit trail will be maintained by the system. The investigator 
should retain records of the changes and corrections to paper CRFs.
The investigator/institution should maintain the trial documents as specified in Essential 
Documents for the Conduct of a Clinical Trial (ICH E6 Section 8) and as required by 
applicable regulations and/or guidelines. The investigator/institution should take measures to 
prevent accidental or premature destruction of these documents.

Novartis

Amended Protocol Version 01 Clean
Protocol No. CRAD001C2X01B
Essential documents (written and electronic) should be retained for a period of not less than 
fifteen (15) years from the completion of the Clinical Trial unless Sponsor provides written 
permission to dispose of them or, requires their retention for an additional period of time 
because of applicable laws, regulations and/or guidelines.
11.7
Confidentiality of study documents and patient records
The investigator must ensure anonymity of the patients; patients must not be identified by 
names in any documents submitted to Novartis. Signed informed consent forms and patient 
enrollment log must be kept strictly confidential to enable patient identification at the site.
11.8
Audits and inspections
Source data/documents must be available to inspections by Novartis or designee or Health 
Authorities.
11.9
Financial disclosures
Financial disclosures should be provided by study personnel who are directly involved in the 
treatment or evaluation of patients at the site - prior to study start.
12
Protocol adherence
Investigators ascertain they will apply due diligence to avoid protocol deviations. Under no 
circumstances should the investigator contact Novartis or its agents, if any, monitoring the 
study to request approval of a protocol deviation, as no authorized deviations are permitted. If 
the investigator feels a protocol deviation would improve the conduct of the study this must 
be considered a protocol amendment, and unless such an amendment is agreed upon by 
Novartis and approved by the IRB/IEC/REB it cannot be implemented. All significant 
protocol deviations will be recorded and reported in the CSR.
12.1
Amendments to the protocol
Any change or addition to the protocol can only be made in a written protocol amendment that 
must be approved by Novartis, Health Authorities where required, and the IRB/IEC/REB. 
Only amendments that are required for patient safety may be implemented prior to 
IRB/IEC/REB approval. Notwithstanding the need for approval of formal protocol 
amendments, the investigator is expected to take any immediate action required for the safety 
of any patient included in this study, even if this action represents a deviation from the 
protocol. In such cases, Novartis should be notified of this action and the IRB/IEC at the study 
site should be informed according to local regulations (e.g. UK requires the notification of 
urgent safety measures within 3 days) but not later than 10 working days.
