PFS is the time from first dose of study treatment until the first date of either objective disease progression or death due to any cause. Progression is defined using Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors Criteria (RECIST v1.1), as a 30% increase in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions, or a measurable increase in a non-target lesion, or the appearance of new lesions. Median PFS was estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method. (NCT01068249)
Timeframe: from study entry (1st treatment) to date of tumor progression, date of death, or, for patients alive without tumor progression, date of last follow-up, assessed up to 2 years

Interventionmonths (Median)
RAD001 + Letrozole3

Number of Participants With Adverse Events (All Grades)

Toxicity was assessed using the National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (version 3.0). (NCT01068249)

InterventionParticipants (Count of Participants)
RAD001 + Letrozole28

Timeframe: from study entry (1st treatment) to date of tumor progression, date of death, or, for patients alive without tumor progression, date of last follow-up, up to 2 years

InterventionParticipants (Count of Participants)
RAD001 + Letrozole31

Number of Participants With Objective Response Rate

Objective response or stable disease rate monitored as patients accrue and are evaluated following the example of Thall and Simon. Per Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors Criteria (RECIST v1.1) for target lesions and assessed by MRI: Complete Response (CR), Disappearance of all target lesions; Partial Response (PR), >=30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions; Overall Response (OR) = CR + PR (NCT01068249)
Timeframe: at 8 weeks of treatment, then every 12 weeks, up to 2 years
