Trial of RAD001 in Triple Negative Metastatic Breast Cancer

Summary

The hypothesis of this clinical research study is to discover if the study drug RAD001 can shrink or slow the growth of Estrogen Receptor/Progesterone Receptor (ER/PR) negative or Human Epidermal growth factor Receptor 2 (Her2 Neu) negative breast cancer. The safety of RAD001 will also be studied. Patients physical state, symptoms, changes in the size of the tumor, and laboratory findings obtained while on-study will help the research team decide if RAD001 is safe and effective.
