Who can take part

You may be able to join if

  • Adequate hematological function (neutrophil count  2x109/l, platelet count  100x 109/l)
  • Adequate hepatic function: AST and ALT ≤ 2.5 ULN, alkaline phosphatases ≤ 2.5 ULN, total bilirubin ≤ 2 ULN.
  • Adequate renal function: serum creatinine ≤ 1.5 ULN
  • Signed written informed consent.
  • Histologically proven invasive unilateral or bilateral breast cancer (regardless of the morphological subtype)

You likely can't join if

  • Any local or regional recurrence or metastatic disease.
  • Patient with chronic infection
  • Uncontrolled diabetes defined as glycated haemoglobin , HbA1c>7%
  • Uncontrolled hypercholesterolemia (cholesterol >300 mg/dl under adequate therapy).
  • Known hypersensitivity to the active substance, to other rapamycin derivatives or to any of the excipients.
  • Patient with other concurrent severe and/or uncontrolled medical disease or infection which could compromise participation in the study (e.g. patient who regularly require systemic steroids to control co-morbid disease).

  • ER+ and HER2 negative : Hormone receptor positive is defined as any staining on the primary tumor, HER2 negativity is defined as IHC 0-1+, or [IHC 2+ and FISH or CISH non-amplified]
  • Primary tumor completely resected (deep margins and overlying skin involvement allowed if fully resected)
  • Patients who will begin an adjuvant hormone therapy or have received a maximum of 4 years of adjuvant hormone therapy. Hormone therapy could be either tamoxifen +/- LH-RH agonists, letrozole, anastrozole or exemestane
  • No clinically or radiologically detectable metastases at time of inclusion.
  • WHO Performance status (ECOG) of 0 or 1.
What rules you out
  • Any local or regional recurrence or metastatic disease.
  • Patient with chronic infection
  • Uncontrolled diabetes defined as glycated haemoglobin , HbA1c>7%

  • Known hypersensitivity to the active substance, to other rapamycin derivatives or to any of the excipients.
  • Patient with other concurrent severe and/or uncontrolled medical disease or infection which could compromise participation in the study (e.g. patient who regularly require systemic steroids to control co-morbid disease).
  • Patient with any psychological, familial, social or geographical condition which could potentially hamper compliance with the study protocol and follow-up schedule; those conditions should be discussed with the patient before registration in the trial.
  • Any clinical or radiological suspicion of malignant or pre-malignant disease in the contralateral breast.
  • Patients with pN1mi as sole nodal involvement
  • Previous cancer (excepted basal cell carcinoma of the skin or in situ carcinoma of the cervix) in the preceding 5 years, including invasive contralateral breast cancer.
  • Patient already included in another ongoing therapeutic trial involving an unlicensed drug for which follow-up is required.

  • Patient with significantly impaired lung function (e.g. Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease, respiratory insufficiency, Interstitial Lung Disease)
  • Positive serology for HIV infection or hepatitis C.
  • Chronic carrier of HBV (positive Antigen HbsAg positive in the blood)
