Primary Outcome Measures

Measure:Number of Participants With Stomatitis Grade ≥ 2
Time Frame:56 days
Safety Issue:
Description:The incidence of grade ≥ 2 stomatitis was reported. Grade 1 = minimal symptoms, normal diet; grade 2 = symptomatic, but able to swallow a modified diet; grade 3 = symptomatic and unable to aliment or hydrate orally; and grade 4 = symptoms associated with life-threatening consequences.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Measure:Time to Resolution of Stomatitis From Grade 2 or Greater to Grade 1 or Less
Time Frame:56 days
Safety Issue:
Description:The number of days to achieve resolution of stomatitis from grade 2 or greater to grade 1 or less was assessed. Grade 1 = minimal symptoms, normal diet; grade 2 = symptomatic, but able to swallow a modified diet; grade 3 = symptomatic and unable to aliment or hydrate orally; and grade 4 = symptoms associated with life-threatening consequences.
Measure:Median Number of Mouthwashes Per Day
Time Frame:56 days
Safety Issue:
Description:The median number of mouthwashes per day was assessed.
Measure:Number of Participants With All Grades of Stomatitis
Time Frame:56 days
Safety Issue:
Description:The number of participants with all grades of stomatitis was defined as the number of participants who had stomatitis grade 1 or higher. Grade 1 = minimal symptoms, normal diet; grade 2 = symptomatic, but able to swallow a modified diet; grade 3 = symptomatic and unable to aliment or hydrate orally; and grade 4 = symptoms associated with life-threatening consequences.
Measure:Dose Intensity of Everolimus and Exemestane
Time Frame:56 days
Safety Issue:
Description:The dose intensity was calculated as the cumulative dose of everolimus or exemestane divided by the length of time on treatment during the first 56 days of treatment.
Measure:Blood Concentration of Everolimus and Exemestane
Time Frame:28 days (pre-dose)
Safety Issue:
Description:Blood samples were collected and analyzed.
