Interventions
Everolimus (oral tablets) alone or together with BEZ235 (oral capsules) and corresponding placebo oral tablets and oral capsules will be dosed on a once daily basis. Subjects will be randomized to receive placebo, or 0.1 mg everolimus alone or in a combination of 0.1 mg everolimus and 10 mg BEZ235 once daily for either 4 weeks (Group A) or 6 weeks (Group B). Group A (receive influenza vaccination at baseline and start dosing after vaccination at baseline visit for a period of 4 weeks. Total treatment period is 4 weeks) I. Everolimus 0.1 mg or matched placebo II. Everolimus 0.1 mg plus 10 mg BEZ235 (combination) or matched placebo Group B (receive study drug for 2 weeks starting at the baseline visit and then receive influenza vaccination at week 2 and then continue dosing for an additional 4 weeks. Total treatment period is 6 weeks). III. Everolimus 0.1 mg or matched placebo IV. Everolimus 0.1 mg plus 10 mg BEZ235 (combination) or matched placebo Subjects will then be followed for 1 week off study drug. Compliance will be assessed by the investigator and/or study personnel at each visit by having subjects bring remaining study drug to each visit and having the site staff count the remaining number of capsules and/or tablets and having this information recorded in the eCRF.
