Primary purpose: TREATMENT

Brief summary: This is a phase II study to evaluate RAD001 (Everolimus) in terms of 4-month progression-free survival rate (primary end-point) and response rate, toxicity, overall survival and biomarker assessment (secondary end-points) in patients with metastatic or recurrent gastric cancer with pS6 Ser 240/4 expression.

Eligibility criteria include pathologically proven non-resectable adenocarcinoma of stomach with measurable disease who failed previous first-line palliative chemotherapy including fluoropyrimidine and platinum with high expression of pS6 Ser 240/4.

Oral RAD001 (everolimus) 10mg daily will be administered and the dose will be adjusted according to the observed clinical toxicities. Treatment will be continued until disease progression or patient's intolerability to the study drug.

A study requires 40 assessable subjects to decide whether the proportion of patients who are free from progression at 4 months (16 weeks), P, is less than or equal to 0.1 or greater than or equal to 0.25 with a target error rate of 0.05 and β of 0.2. If the number of responses is 7 or less, the hypothesis that P \>= 0.250 is rejected with a target error rate of 0.200 and an actual error rate of 0.182. If the investigators assume that drop-out rate is 10%, total accrual patient will be 45.

Detailed description: Methodology: Prospective, non blinded, open label, single center phase II study

Criteria for evaluation: Assessment of response will be assessed radiologically according to RECIST criteria after completion of the two cycles. Evaluation will be by physical examination, chest X-ray, abdomen-pelvis CT scan Safety criteria: Physical examination, vital signs, performance status, CBC, serum chemistry, NCI CTC V.3.0

Eligibility criteria: Inclusion Criteria:

* histologically or cytologically documented stomach adenocarcinoma including adenocarcinoma of the esophagogastric junction
* non-resectable disease by metastasis or recurrent disease after curative surgical resection (See Appendix A) with uni-dimensionally measurable disease
* failure of 1st line chemotherapy including fluoropyrimidine (capecitabine, S1, or 5-FU,) and platinum (cisplatin or oxaliplatin) in palliative setting; progression during or within 6 months after chemotherapy
* High expression of pS6 Ser 240/4 (proportion of pS6 Ser 240/4 positive cancer cells by immunohistochemistry \> 10%)
* Age 20 to 75 years old
* Estimated life expectancy of more than 3 months
* ECOG performance status of 2 or lower
* Adequate bone marrow function
* Adequate kidney function
* Adequate liver function
* Fasting serum cholesterol ≤ 300 mg/dL AND fasting triglyceride ≤ 2.5 X ULN
* No prior radiation therapy to more than 25% of BM
* psychological, familial, sociological or geographical conditions which do not permit medical follow-up and compliance with this study
* Women of childbearing potential must have a negative pregnancy test on admission
* Written informed consent

Exclusion Criteria:

* Other tumor type than adenocarcinoma
* CNS metastases or prior radiation for CNS metastases
* Gastric outlet obstruction or intestinal obstruction
* Evidence of active gastrointestinal bleeding
* Bone lesions as the sole evaluable disease
* Past or concurrent history of neoplasm other than stomach cancer
* Pregnant or lactating women, women of childbearing potential not employing adequate contraception
* Other serious illness or medical conditions
* Concomitant or with a 4-week period administration of any other experimental drug under investigation
* Concomitant chemotherapy, hormonal therapy, or immunotherapy
* Any preexisting medical condition of sufficient severity to prevent full compliance with the study
