Intervention/exposure
Study type
Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Treatment: Drugs - RAD001(Everolimus)

Experimental: Everolimus with 5-azacitidine - Everolimus increasing oral doses days 5-21 each cycle 5-azacitidine 75mg sub cutaneously 7 doses in 21 days


Treatment: Drugs: RAD001(Everolimus)
In this study, 5-azacitidine will be administered sc for 7 doses over 9 days in a 28 day cycle. Everolimus will be administered orally with the first dose starting on day 5 (first Friday) of each cycle and continued until day 21 of each cycle. Patients will be treated with combined azacitidine + Everolimus for a minimum of 6 cycles and until at least 2 cycles after documentation of CR. Upon cessation of azacitidine, the patient will be permitted to take Everolimus maintenance therapy until progression at the investigator's discretion.
