Brief Summary:
The purpose of this research study is to investigate if RAD001 is an effective treatment for pancreatic cancer that has spread and not responded to treatment. Experiments have shown that RAD001 can prevent cells from multiplying. RAD002 has also been tested in laboratory experiments imitating cancer conditions and the results have been promising.
Detailed Description:
* Participants taking part in this research study will be given a study medication-dosing calendar for each treatment cycle. Each cycle lasts four weeks during which you will be taking the study drug, RAD001, orally every day.
* Participants will come into the clinic every other week during the time of enrollment. At each clinic visit blood work will be taken to monitor the participants health and a physical exam will be performed. CT scans will be repeated every 2 months to assess the tumor.
* Participants will remain on the study as long as they continue to benefit from the study medication.
