Measure
Stratum 1
Adults and children with neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) and inoperable plexiform neurofibromas (PN) with the potential to cause significant morbidity with documented progressive PN prior to study entry wereenrolled in this stratum. Enrolled patients received everolimus (RAD001) in an open label manner. Recommended starting dose of everolimus depend on body surface area, starting from 2.5 mg once daily to 7.5 mg once daily.
Stratum 2
Adults and children with neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) and inoperable plexiform neurofibromas (PN) with the potential to cause significant morbidity that do not have documented progression of the PN at the time of study entry were enrolled in this stratum. Enrolled patients received everolimus (RAD001) in an open label manner. Recommended starting dose of everolimus depend on body surface area, starting from 2.5 mg once daily to 7.5 mg once daily.

Time to Disease Progression (TTP) Based on Change in Volumetric MRI Measurements in Children and Adults (In Stratum I Only)
NA Days
Median was not achieved because only one progression event occurred.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Screening, after course #6, then every 6 months and end of treatment(1 course=28days)

Population: The Full Analysis Set (FAS) consisted of all enrolled patients.

Response was assessed at the time that a follow up volumetric MRI scan is performed (after course 6 and then every 6 months and at the end of treatment). * Complete response (CR): complete resolution of all measurable or palpable PN for ≥ 28days and no appearance of new lesions. * Partial response (PR): A ≥ 20% reduction in the sum of the volume of all index PN lesions for ≥ 28days. * Stable disease (SD): A \< 20% increase and \< 20% decrease in the sum of the volume of all index PN lesions for ≥ 28days.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: From the time ICF was signed until 28 days after End of Treatment (up to a maximum of 25 months)

Population: The Safety Population consisted of all patients who received at least one dose of study treatment and had at least one post-baseline safety assessment.

Adverse events were assessed according to the NCI Common Toxicity Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version 4.0. If CTCAE grading does not exist for an adverse event, the severity of mild, moderate, severe, and life-threatening, corresponding to grades 1 - 4 respectively, were used. CTCAE grade 5 (death) was not used in this study.

OTHER_PRE_SPECIFIED outcome

Timeframe: Screening, Day 1, after course #3, #6, #12, #18, #24, End of Treatment (1 course = 28 days)

Population: Study got terminated because of poor patient's accrual. Enrolled patients were less than planned number of patients required for analysis. Hence, planned analysis was not done.

Clinical response is defined as improvement of function, performance status, or decrease in PN related pain persisting for at least 28 days on treatment.

Population: Study got terminated because of poor patient's accrual. Enrolled patients were less than planned number of patients required for analysis. Hence, planned analysis was not done.

The Physician"s Global Assessment of Clinical Condition (PGA) is a 7-point grading scale for the investigator's assessment of the overall extent of improvement or worsening of the patient"s skin disease as compared to baseline. Responses must be confirmed by at least two assessments separated in time by at least 4 weeks. The grading ranges from 0 to 6; 0 is Completely clear where as 6 is for worse condition. A complete clinical response (CCR) requires a grading of 0 indicating the absence of disease (histological confirmation is not required). Grades 1, 2, and 3 constitute partial response, indicating improvement of at least 50 percent, but less than 100 percent improvement.
