Adjuvant Everolimus Clinical Study For Women With Breast Cancer

This trial failed to show benefit with adjuvant mTOR inhibitor everolimus when added to endocrine therapy. There was a high discontinuation rate of everolimus due to side effects which likely played a role. I suspect if the the dosing regimen was weekly it would have been tolerable and show an improvement in the standard of care as seen in this previous study
