treatment

- Wide field radiotherapy ≤ 28 days or limited field radiation for palliation ≤ 14 days
prior to starting study drug

> 480 msec, unstable angina pectoris, ventricular, supraventricular or nodal
arrhythmias)

- Inadequately controlled hypertension

- Impairment of gastrointestinal (GI) function or GI disease that may significantly
alter the absorption of BEZ235 and/or paclitaxel

- Treatment at start of study treatment with drugs with a known risk to induce Torsades

and coumadin analogues, LHRH agonists

Other protocol-defined inclusion/exclusion criteria may apply

Type of Study:

Interventional

Study Design:

Allocation: Randomized, Intervention Model: Single Group Assignment, Masking: Open Label, Primary Purpose: Treatment

Outcome Measure:

Phase lb: Dose Limiting Toxicities (DLTs) the first cycle of treatment

Outcome Description:

DLT is defined as treatment-related toxicity (classified according Common Toxicity Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) Version 4) occurring during the first 28 treatment days and meeting specific protocol-predefined criteria. The information will be integrated in a Bayesian logistic regression model with overdose control to estimate the maximum tolerated dose (MTD).

Outcome Time Frame:

At first treatment intake (Cycle 1 Day 1 = C1D1), C1D8, C1D15, C1D22 and C2D1 [a cycle = 4 weeks = 28 days]

Safety Issue:

Yes
