5. Treatment with more than two previous chemotherapy regimens.

6. Immunization with attenuated live vaccines within one week of study or anytime during
study treatment period.

7. Female patients who are pregnant or breastfeeding.

8. Central nervous system (CNS) involvement by metastatic melanoma.

9. CNS disease (e.g., seizures not controlled with standard medical therapy, history of
stroke).

10. Any severe and/or uncontrolled medical conditions or other conditions that could
affect participation in the study such as:

- Severely impaired lung function.

- Uncontrolled diabetes as defined by fasting serum glucose >1.5 ULN,

- Any acute or chronic uncontrolled infection/disorder.

- Non-malignant medical illnesses that are uncontrolled or whose control may be
jeopardize by the treatment with the study therapy.

- Any acute or chronic uncontrolled infection/disorder.

- Non-malignant medical illnesses that are uncontrolled or whose control may be
jeopardize by the treatment with the study therapy.

- Liver disease such as cirrhosis, chronic active hepatitis or chronic persistent
hepatitis.

11. Acute myocardial infarction (MI) with the previous 6 months.

12. Clinically significant cardiovascular disease (e.g., uncontrolled hypertension,
unstable angina, New York Heart Association [NYHA] Class II or greater congestive
heart failure [CHF], serious cardiac arrhythmia requiring medication), or >= grade 2
vascular disease.

13. Clinical history of hemoptysis or hematemesis.

14. Clinical evidence or history of a bleeding diathesis or coagulopathy.

starting treatment.

16. Patients with PEG tubes or G-tubes.

17. Impairment of gastrointestinal (GI) function or GI disease that may significantly
alter the absorption of RAD001 (e.g., ulcerative disease, uncontrolled nausea,
vomiting, diarrhea, malabsorption syndrome, or small bowel resection).

18. Proteinuria at screening as demonstrated by either

1. Urine protein:creatinine (UPC) ratio >= 1.0 at screening OR

2. Urine dipstick for proteinuria >= 2+ (patients discovered to have >=2+
proteinuria on dipstick urinalysis at baseline should undergo a 24 hour urine
collection and must demonstrate <= 1g of protein in 24 hours to be eligible).
