Measure
Everolimus
Subjects will be administered study drug if they meet study criteria after 4 weeks of baseline phase. The starting dose will be 5 mg/m2/day, rounded to the nearest 2.5 mg/dose, to be taken daily. Everolimus: Everolimus is available in tablet form. The starting dose will be 5 mg/m2/day, rounded to the nearest 2.5 mg/dose, to be taken daily. After two weeks, serum trough level will be measured and dose adjusted according to the following algorithm If Blood trough level is less than 2.5 ng/ml than increase dose by 5 mg/m2/day; If Blood trough level is 2.5-5.0 ng/ml than increase dose by 2.5 mg/m2/day; If Blood trough level is 5.1-10.0 ng/ml than increase dose by 0 mg/m2/day (no change); If Blood trough level is 10.1-15.0 ng/ml than decrease dose by 2.5 mg/m2/day
