Brief summary:
The purpose of this study was to assess the efficacy and safety of everolimus in the treatment of advanced pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor (NET) not responsive to cytotoxic chemotherapy. All patients were treated with everolimus until either tumor progression was documented using a standard criteria that measures tumor size called Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid tumors (RECIST), or until unacceptable toxicity occurred, or until the patient or investigator requested discontinuation of treatment.

Detailed description:
This was a stratified two-stage, single-arm, phase 2 study of treatment with everolimus in patients with advanced (unresectable or metastatic) pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor (NET) after failure of cytotoxic chemotherapy.

Stratum 1, consisted of patients not receiving chronic Octreotide Depot therapy, will receive everolimus monotherapy at 10 mg/day.

Stratum 2, consisting of patients with tumors that have progressed during Octreotide Depot treatment will continue their entry dose of Octreotide Depot plus everolimus 10 mg/day.

Arms:
arm 1: Stratum 1 patients who were not receiving regular Octreotide Depot therapy. These patients were to receive everolimus monotherapy at 10 mg/day.

Stratum 2 patients who were to receive everolimus 10 mg/day in addition to continuing their entry dose of Octreotide Depot therapy.

Patients were instructed to take two 5 mg tablets of everolimus orally with a glass of water, once daily (preferably in the morning). Dosing was strongly recommended to occur at the same time every day.

Interventions: intervention 1: Everolimus 10 mg intervention 2: Octreotide Depot
Intervention descriptions: intervention 1: Participants took two 5 mg tablets of Everolimus orally with a glass of water, once daily (preferably in the morning) in a fasting state or after no more than a light, fat-free meal. Dosing was to occur at the same time each day. If vomiting occurred, the vomited dose was not to be replaced. intervention 2: None
