Inclusion criteria:
1.Pathologically confirmed, well differentiated (G1 or G2), advanced
(unresectable or metastatic), neuroendocrine tumor of GI or lung origin.
2.No history of and no active symptoms related to carcinoid syndrome
(or other hypersecretory syndromes).
3.Patients treated with prior SSA and/or Interferon (IFN) may be
included. These patients must discontinue treatment prior to the day of
randomization as follows:
4.Radiological documented disease progression within 6 months prior to
randomization
5.Measurable disease
6.WHO performance status =1
7.Adequate bone marrow, lifer and renal function
Other protocol-defined inclusion/exclusion criteria may apply
Are the trial subjects under 18? no
Number of subjects for this age range:
F.1.2 Adults (18-64 years) yes
F.1.2.1 Number of subjects for this age range 200
F.1.3 Elderly (>=65 years) yes
F.1.3.1 Number of subjects for this age range 102

Exclusion criteria:
1.Patients with poorly differentiated neuroendocrine carcinoma, high-grade neuroendocrine carcinoma, adenocarcinoid, pancreatic islet cell carcinoma, gastrinoma, goblet cell carcinoid, and small cell carcinoma.
2.Patients with pancreatic NET or NET of origins other than GI or lung
3.Patients with history of or active symptoms of carcinoid syndrome (e.g. flushing, diarrhea).
4. More than one prior line of chemotherapy;
5.Prior targeted therapy;
6.Hepatic intra-arterial embolization within the last 6 months (or 1 month if there is measurable disease in other organs besides the liver)
7.Prior therapy with mTOR inhibitors (e.g. sirolimus, temsirolimus, deforolimus).
8.Known intolerance or hypersensitivity to everolimus or other rapamycins (e.g. sirolimus, temsirolimus).
9.Impairment of gastrointestinal (GI) function or GI disease that may significantly alter the absorption of oral everolimus.
10.Uncontrolled diabetes mellitus.
11.Patients who have any severe and/or uncontrolled medical conditions such as:
•unstable angina pectoris, symptomatic congestive heart failure, myocardial infarction =6 months prior to randomization, serious uncontrolled cardiac arrhythmia;
•active or uncontrolled severe infection;
•liver disease such as cirrhosis, decompensated liver disease, and chronic hepatitis (i.e. quantifiable HBV-DNA and/or positive HbsAg, quantifiable HCV-RNA).
12.Chronic treatment with corticosteroids or other immunosuppressive agents.
13.Known history of HIV seropositivity.
14.Pregnant or nursing (lactating) women, where pregnancy is defined
as the state of a female after conception and until the termination of
gestation, confirmed by a positive hCG laboratory test
Other protocol-defined exclusion criteria may apply.

Primary Outcome(s)

Secondary Objective: - To compare overall survival (OS) between study arms
- To determine the safety and tolerability of everolimus in this
patient population
- To evaluate overall response rate (ORR) and Disease Control
Rate (DCR) in the 2 study arms
- To compare the HRQoL based on the FACT-G total score
between study arms
- To compare changes from baseline in Chromogranin A (CgA)
and Neuron specific enolase (NSE) levels between study arms
- To compare time to deterioration for WHO performance status
between study arms
- To determine the exposure of everolimus at the steady-state
pre-dose concentration (Cmin) at Cycle 2 (Day 29)

Primary end point(s): PFS per modified RECIST 1.0 assessed by central radiological assessment

Main Objective: Determinate whether treatment with everolimus plus best supportive care prolongs PFS compared to placebo plus best supportive care in patients with advanced NET of GI or lung origin

Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: From date of randomization to progression or death.

Secondary Outcome(s)

Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: For 1. to 6. : Every visit up from randomization to 5 years 7. Visit 3 (cycle 2, study Day 29)

Secondary end point(s): 1. Overall Survival (OS).
2. Safety evaluation and tolerability of everolimus.
3. Objective response rate (ORR) and Disease control rate (DCR).
4. FACT-G total score over time.
5. Changes from baseline in Chromogranin A (CgA) and Neuron specific enolase (NSE) levels.
6. Time to deterioration for WHO performance status
7. Pre-dose concentration (Cmin)
