Summary

This trial is testing the combination of two drugs, xentuzumab and abemaciclib, to see if they are safe and effective at shrinking tumors in patients with lung and breast cancer.

Who is the study for?
Adults with stage IV NSCLC or breast cancer who have tried certain treatments without success can join. They must be able to swallow pills, have no other cancers in the last 3 years, and not need drugs that could interfere with the trial. Women must not be pregnant and use birth control; men also need to use effective contraception.
What is being tested?
The study is testing Xentuzumab combined with Abemaciclib, plus hormonal therapies for some breast cancer patients. It aims to find a safe dosage while checking if these medicines shrink tumors. Participants will receive regular health checks and tumor size assessments.
What are the potential side effects?
Possible side effects include digestive issues like nausea and diarrhea, blood disorders such as low white cell counts increasing infection risk, liver function changes, potential allergic reactions to drug components, fatigue, and possibly uncontrolled blood sugar levels.
