Brief Summary: This study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of everolimus treatment of patients with advanced NSCLC The rationale for investigating everolimus in advanced NSCLC previously treated with chemotherapy or chemotherapy plus EGFR inhibitors like gefitinib or erlotinib is based on following

The medical need for the better therapy for advanced NSCLC and limited efficacy of the currently available therapy in advanced NSCLC
Postulated association of relevant cell-signaling pathways targeted by everolimus with different aspects of oncogenesis disease progression and responseresistance to treatment
Effectiveness of everolimus and rapamycin in preclinical models of lung cancer
Early reports of clinical responses to monotherapy with mTOR inhibitors in advanced NSCLC

There is evidence that an enhanced PI3KAktmTOR pathway which is inhibited by everolimus may be one of the key changes accounting for different aspects of oncogenesis disease progression and responseresistance to NSCLC cancer treatment The use of the mTOR inhibitor everolimus in treatment of advanced NSCLC would be a novel therapeutic approach that proposes to logically manipulate the cells regulatory pathways to enable control of tumor growth
