Lancet 2023; 402: 1043-1051.

Some 1545 patients were randomly assigned 10 mg of oral Everolimus daily or placebo for 54 weeks. 5-year recurrence-free survival was improved from 63 to 67 per cent (P=0.051), but this did not meet the prespecified P value for significance. Patients with more advanced disease benefitted most.

Comment: Not effective for most.
