AFINITOR® can overcome endocrine resistance in patients with Metastatic Breast Cancer. This was demonstrated in the BOLERO-2 trial in which patients who had progressed on non-steroidal Aromatase Inhibitors, when treated with a combination of steroidal Aromatase Inhibitor AROMASIN® (Exemestane) and AFINITOR® (Everolimus), had significantly improved Progression Free Survival and Clinical Benefit. AFINITOR® is a mTOR inhibitor and mTOR pathway has been implicated as one of the mechanisms for endocrine resistance in Breast cancer. A recent BOLERO-2 trial update, was published in the Breast Cancer Research and Treatment 2013.
