Inclusion criteria

If tissue is not available for MSK patient, a new tumor specimen will need to be obtained prior to the start of study treatment If archived tissue is available, participating site patient will provide for the evaluation of potential predictive biomarkers. If tissue is not available for participating site patient, a new tumor specimen is optional prior to the start of study treatment.

  • Total bilirubin < ULN; or total bilirubin ≤3.0 x ULN or direct bilirubin ≤1.5 x ULN in patients with well-documented Gilbert"s Syndrome

• Negative serum pregnancy test done ≤14 days prior to registration, for women of childbearing potential only A serum pregnancy test will be conducted ≤ 72 hours prior to treatment start as a pre-treatment parameter. All women of reproductive potential and their partners must agree to use adequate methods of birth control (e.g. latex condoms) throughout the study and for 30 days after the last dose of study drug.

  † A female of reproductive potential is a sexually mature female who: has not undergone a hysterectomy or bilateral oophorectomy; or has not been naturally postmenopausal for at least 24 consecutive months (i.e. has had menses at any time in the preceding 24 consecutive months).

  °QTcF interval at screening <450msec (using Fridericia"s correction)

• Must be able to swallow LEE011 and everolimus capsules/tablets

• Recovered from adverse events (to grade 1 or less toxicity according to CTCAE 4.0) due to agents administered previously *NOTE: Chemotherapy-induced alopecia and grade 2 neuropathy are acceptable

Exclusion criteria

• Patient has a known hypersensitivity to any of the excipients of LEE011 or everolimus

• Previous treatment with a CDK 4/6 inhibitor or an mTOR inhibitor

• Has had prior chemotherapy, targeted small molecule therapy within 2 weeks prior to study Day 1 or who has not recovered (i.e. ≤ Grade 1 or at baseline) from adverse events due to a previously administered agent

  *Note: Subjects with < Grade 2 neuropathy or chemotherapy-induced alopecia are an exception to this criterion and may qualify for the study

• Patient has a concurrent malignancy or malignancy within 3 years prior to starting study drug, with the exception of adequately treated, basal or squamous cell carcinoma, non-melanomatous skin cancer or curatively resected cervical cancer

• Patients with central nervous system (CNS) involvement unless they meet ALL of the following criteria:

  • At least 4 weeks from prior therapy completion (including radiation and/or surgery) to starting the study treatment
  • Clinically stable CNS tumor at the time of screening and not receiving steroids and/or enzyme-inducing anti-epileptic medications for brain metastases

• Patient has impairment of gastrointestinal (GI) function or GI disease that may significantly alter the absorption of the study drugs (e.g., ulcerative diseases, uncontrolled nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, malabsorption syndrome, or small bowel resection)

• Patient has a known history of HIV infection (testing not mandatory)

• Patient has any other concurrent severe and/or uncontrolled medical condition that would, in the investigator"s judgment, cause unacceptable safety risks, contraindicate patient participation in the clinical study or compromise compliance with the protocol (e.g. chronic pancreatitis, active untreated or uncontrolled fungal, bacterial or viral infections, etc.).
