Summary

This trial is testing a new cancer treatment on 50 people with recurrent glioblastoma. The treatment will be given before surgery to remove the tumor.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults over 18 with recurrent glioblastoma who've had prior treatment including surgery, temozolomide, and radiotherapy. They must have measurable disease, specific genetic features in their tumor tissue, and be able to swallow pills. Pregnant or breastfeeding individuals can't join; neither can those with certain heart conditions, severe infections or liver diseases, a history of blood clots in the eye causing vision loss, or those on coumarin anticoagulants.
What is being tested?
The trial tests LY3214996 plus Abemaciclib given before surgical removal of brain tumors in patients with recurrent glioblastoma. Initially up to 10 participants will receive this combination therapy; if successful based on PK results from Phase 0 and enrollment into Phase 2 reaches at least five participants, around 40 more may join for further evaluation.
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects include reactions related to liver function changes (like jaundice), fatigue due to low red blood cell counts (anemia), increased risk of infection from white blood cell changes (neutropenia), bleeding issues due to low platelets (thrombocytopenia), digestive disturbances such as diarrhea or nausea.
