Tuberous Sclerosis Complex | Drug: everolimus | Phase 3 |
This is a multi-center, open label study to evaluate the long term safety of everolimus in patients with TSC and refractory seizures currently being treated in the Novartis-sponsored study EXIST-3 study and are judged by their parent study investigator as benefiting from the current study treatment. The study is expected to remain open for approximately 10 years (or until 31-Dec-2022 in the UK) from First Patient First Visit (FPFV).
Patients will continue to be treated in this study until they are no longer benefiting from their everolimus treatment as judged by the Investigator or until one of the protocol defined discontinuation criteria is met or everolimus becomes commercially available according to local regulations.

- Occurances of adverse events and serious adverse events [ Time Frame: Day 1 up to approximately 10 years ]The patients will be followed continuously for tolerability (i.e adverse events, serious adverse events)
- Percentage of patients with clinical benefit [ Time Frame: Day 1 up to approximately 10 years, assessed every 12 weeks, ]At every quarterly visit (every 12 weeks ± 2 weeks), the Investigator is required to confirm that the patients continue to have clinical benefit as per Investigator's assessment.
