Summary

This trial found that the addition of Abemaciclib to Bevacizumab was safe in patients with recurrent Glioblastoma (GBM) and specific molecular aberrations. Adverse events were similar to those seen with Bevacizumab alone.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults over 18 with recurrent glioblastoma brain tumors, who have specific genetic changes in their tumor. They must be able to take oral meds, have good organ function, and a performance status of at least 60%. Women of childbearing age and men with partners must use contraception.
What is being tested?
The trial tests the safety and side effects of Abemaciclib taken orally twice daily combined with Bevacizumab given intravenously every two weeks in patients whose glioblastoma has returned and shows certain molecular abnormalities.
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects include high blood pressure, bleeding or clotting issues, heart problems like congestive failure or angina, gastrointestinal complications such as fistulas or perforations, infections like abscesses, diabetes control issues, and allergic reactions.
