Study Summary
This trial looks at the safety of using abemaciclib in different combinations of drugs to treat breast cancer that has spread.
Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults with breast cancer that has spread, who have specific treatment histories and organ function. Participants must not have severe preexisting conditions or certain heart diseases, and should not have received some treatments like CDK4/6 inhibitors (except in Part I) or systemic chemotherapy for metastatic disease.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests the safety of abemaciclib combined with various therapies (like letrozole, anastrozole, tamoxifen) for advanced breast cancer. It examines how well these combinations work when the cancer has spread to other body parts.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects may include digestive issues, fatigue, blood disorders, liver problems, risk of infection due to immune system suppression. Specific side effects depend on the combination therapy used.

Research Highlights

Side Effect Profile
Prior Approvals
Other Research
CDK4/6 inhibitors, such as Abemaciclib, work by blocking the activity of cyclin-dependent kinases 4 and 6, which are crucial for cell cycle progression and cancer cell proliferation. This inhibition helps to halt the growth of cancer cells.
Aromatase inhibitors like letrozole and anastrozole reduce estrogen levels by blocking the enzyme aromatase, which converts androgens to estrogens, thereby slowing the growth of hormone receptor-positive breast cancer. Tamoxifen, a selective estrogen receptor modulator, binds to estrogen receptors on cancer cells, preventing estrogen from stimulating cancer growth.
Exemestane, another aromatase inhibitor, works similarly by reducing estrogen production. These treatments are vital for breast cancer patients as they target specific pathways involved in cancer cell growth and proliferation, offering more personalized and effective treatment options.
