Summary
There are no treatments specifically approved after recurrence or progression on a NSAI. In light of the need for new treatment options for postmenopausal women after failure of prior non steroidal aromatase inhibitors (NSAI) therapy, the purpose of this Phase III study is to compare efficacy and safety of a treatment with exemestane + everolimus to exemestane + placebo in postmenopausal women with estrogen receptor positive locally advanced or metastatic breast cancer refractory to NSAI.
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:
- Adult women (≥ 18 years of age) with metastatic or locally advanced breast cancer not amenable to curative treatment by surgery or radiotherapy.

- Radiological or objective evidence of recurrence or progression on or after the last systemic therapy prior to randomization.
- Patients must have at least one lesion that can be accurately measured or bone lesions in the absence of measurable disease
- Adequate bone marrow and coagulation function
- Adequate liver and renal function
- ECOG Performance Status = 2 or less
Exclusion Criteria:
- HER2-overexpressing patients
- Patients with only non-measurable lesions other than bone metastasis (e.g. pleural effusion, ascites etc.).
- Patients who received more than one chemotherapy line for Advanced Breast Cancer.
- Previous treatment with exemestane or mTOR inhibitors.
