However, patients with metastatic central nervous system (CNS) tumors may participate in this trial, if the patient is \> 4 weeks from therapy completion (including radiation and/or surgery), is clinically stable at the time of study entry and is not receiving corticosteroid therapy for the brain mets.
- Patients with acute or chronic liver, renal disease or pancreatitis
- Patients has any of the following mood disorders as judged by the Investigator or a Psychiatrist, or who meets the cut-off score of ≥ 12 the Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9) or a cut-off of ≥ 15 in the Generalized Anxiety Disorder-7 (GAD-7) mood scale, respectively, or selects a positive response of '1, 2, or 3' to questions number 9 regarding potential for suicidal thoughts in the PHQ-9 (independent of the total score of the PHQ-9) :
- Medically documented history of or active major depressive episode, bipolar disorder (I or II), obsessive-compulsive disorder, schizophrenia, a history of suicidal attempt or ideation, or homicidal ideation (immediate risk of doing harm to others) or patients with active severe personality disorders are not eligible. Note: for patients with psychotropic treatments ongoing at baseline, the dose and the schedule should not be modified within the previous 6 weeks prior to start of study drug.
- ≥ Common Toxicity Criteria for Adverse Effects (CTCAE) grade 3 anxiety
- Note: The psychiatric judgment overrules the mood assessment questionnaire result or the investigators judgment.
- Patient has active cardiac disease including any of the following:
- Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) \< 50% as determined by Multiple Gated acquisition (MUGA) scan or echocardiogram (ECHO)
- Corrected QT interval (QTc) \> 480 msec on screening ECG (using the Fridericia's corrected QT interval \[QTcF\] formula)
- Angina pectoris that requires the use of anti-anginal medication
- Ventricular arrhythmias except for benign premature ventricular contractions
- Supraventricular and nodal arrythmias requiring a pacemaker or not controlled with medication
- Conduction abnormality requiring a pacemaker
- Valvular disease with document compromise in cardiac function
- Symptomatic pericarditis
- Patient has a history of cardiac dysfunction including any of the following:
- Myocardial infraction within the last 6 months, documented by persistent elevated cardiac enzymes or preexistent regional wall abnormalities on assessment of LVEF function
- History of or documented congestive heart failure (New York Heart Association functional classification III-IV)
- Documented cardiomyopathy
- Active diarrhea ≥ CTCAE grade 2
- Patients with clinical manifestation of uncontrolled diabetes mellitus (i.e. treated and/or with clinical signs) or steroid-induced diabetes mellitus
- Impairment of gastrointestinal (GI) function or GI disease that may significantly alter the absorption of BKM120 (e.g., ulcerative diseases, uncontrolled nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, malabsorption syndrome, or small bowel resection). Patients with unresolved diarrhea will be excluded as previously indicated.
- Patients who have been treated with any hematopoietic colony-stimulating growth factors (e.g., granulocyte-colony stimulating factor \[G-CSF\], granulocyte macrophage-colony-stimulating factor \[GM-CSF\]) ≤ 2 weeks prior to starting study drug. Erythropoietin or darbepoetin therapy, if initiated at least 2 weeks prior to enrollment, may be continued.
- Patients who are currently receiving treatment with medication with a known risk to prolong the QT interval or inducing Torsades de Pointes and the treatment cannot either be discontinued or switched to a different medication prior to starting study drug. Please refer to Table 5-2 or a list of prohibited QT prolonging drugs with risk of Torsades de Pointes.
- Patients receiving chronic treatment with steroids or another immunosuppressive agent. Note: Topical applications (e.g. for rash), inhaled sprays (e.g. for obstructive airways diseases), eye drops or local injections (e.g. intra-articular) are allowed. Patients with previously treated brain metastases, who are on stable low dose corticosteroid treatment (e.g. dexamethasone 2 mg/day, prednisolone 10 mg/day) for at least 14 days before start of study treatment are eligible.
- Patients who have received chemotherapy or targeted anticancer therapy ≤ 4 weeks (6 weeks for nitrosourea, antibodies or mitomycin-C) prior to starting study drug or who have not recovered from side effects of such therapy
- Patients who have received any continuous or intermittent small molecule therapeutics (excluding monoclonal antibodies) ≤ 5 effective half lives prior to starting study drug or who have not recovered from side effects of such therapy

- Patients who are currently taking therapeutic doses of warfarin sodium or any other coumadin-derivative anticoagulant.
- Women who are pregnant or breast feeding or adults of reproductive potential not employing an effective method of birth control. Double barrier contraceptives must be used through the trial by both sexes. Oral, implantable, or injectable contraceptives may be affected by cytochrome P450 interactions, and are therefore not considered effective for this study. Women of child-bearing potential, defined as sexually mature women who have not undergone a hysterectomy or who have not been naturally postmenopausal for at least 12 consecutive months (i.e., who has had menses any time in the preceding 12 consecutive months), must have a negative serum pregnancy test ≤ 72 hours prior to initiating treatment.
- Liver disease such as cirrhosis or severe hepatic impairment (Child-Pugh class C). Note: A detailed assessment of Hepatitis B/C medical history and risk factors must be done at screening for all patients. Hepatitis B virus (HBV) DNA and hepatitis C virus (HCV) RNA polymerase chain reaction (PCR) testing are required at screening for all patients with a positive medical history based on risk factors and/or confirmation of prior HBV/HCV infection.
- Known diagnosis of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection
- History of another malignancy within 3 years, except cured basal cell carcinoma of the skin, treated ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS), cured early stage prostate cancer without detectable prostatic specific antigen (PSA) or excised carcinoma in situ of the cervix
- Patients should not receive immunization with attenuated live vaccines during study period or within 1 week of study entry. Close contact with those who have received attenuated live vaccines should be avoided during treatment with everolimus. Examples of live vaccines include intranasal influenza, measles, mumps, rubella, oral polio, Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG), yellow fever, varicella and TY21a typhoid vaccines.
- Patients taking medications known to be strong CYP3A inhibitors
- Patients who are currently treated with drugs known to be moderate and strong inhibitors or inducers of isoenzyme cytochrome P450, family 3, subfamily A (CYP3A), and the treatment cannot be discontinued or switched to a different medication prior to starting study drug.
- Other concurrent severe and/or uncontrolled concomitant medical conditions (e.g., active or uncontrolled infection) that could cause unacceptable safety risks or compromise compliance with the protocol
- Patient is unable or unwilling to abide by the study protocol or cooperate fully with the investigator
