Everolimus in Breast Cancer Patients After Pre-operative Chemotherapy

A Randomized Study of mTOR Inhibition by RAD001 (Everolimus) in Invasive Breast Cancer Patients After Pre-operative Use of Anthracycline and/or Taxane-based Chemotherapy

This is a randomized controlled pilot study investigating signals involved in drug resistance to chemotherapy.

Patient will be randomized to undergo observation or to receive Everolimus after completion of neoadjvuant treatment (anthracycline and/or taxane-based) and before surgery. The patients will be monitored for efficacy and safety.
