Phase II Study of Everolimus (RAD001) in Primary Therapy of Waldenstrom's Macroglobulinemia


- Participants will take RAD001 orally once a day in the morning. Each treatment cycle
lasts for four weeks. Participants will receive up to 48 cycles of treatment.

- During each cycle, participants will be asked to visit the clinic for scheduled tests

consensus panel of the Second International Workshop on Waldenstrom's
macroglobulinemia

- No previous therapy for WM

- Measurable disease, defined as presence of immunoglobulin M (IgM) paraprotein with a
minimum IgM level of 2 times the upper limit of each institution's normal value or
greater is required
