Phase II Study of Everolimus in Patients with Metastatic Colorectal Adenocarcinoma Previously Treated with Bevacizumab-, Fluoropyrimidine-, Oxaliplatin-, and Irinotecan-Based Regimens

Abstract

Everolimus 70 mg/wk or 10 mg/d was well tolerated but did not confer meaningful efficacy in heavily pretreated patients with metastatic colorectal cancers. Future studies may consider evaluating everolimus in combination with other agents or in patients with dysregulation of the PI3K/Akt/mTOR pathway.
