✕. Other concurrent severe and/or uncontrolled medical disease which could compromise participation in the study as judged by the Principal Investigator (i.e., severely impaired lung function, uncontrolled diabetes, uncontrolled hypertension, severe infection, severe malnutrition, unstable angina, or congestive heart failure - New York Heart Association Class III or IV, ventricular arrhythmias, active ischemic heart disease, myocardial infarction within six months, chronic liver or renal disease, active upper GI tract ulceration)
✕. A known history of Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) seropositivity
✕. Impairment of gastrointestinal function or gastrointestinal disease that may significantly alter the absorption of RAD001 as judged by the Principal Investigator (e.g., ulcerative disease; uncontrolled nausea, vomiting or diarrhea; malabsorption syndrome or small bowel resection)

✕. Women who are pregnant or breast feeding, or women/men able to conceive and unwilling to practice an effective method of birth control (women of childbearing potential must have a negative urine or serum pregnancy test within 48 hours prior to administration of RAD001; protocol definition of post-menopausal women is: 12 months of natural (spontaneous) amenorrhea or 6 months of spontaneous amenorrhea with serum FSH levels \> 40 mIU/m or 6 weeks post-surgical bilateral oophorectomy with or without hysterectomy)
