Summary
This trial is testing a new cancer drug to see if it stops the disease from progressing in women with endometrioid endometrial cancer. Treatment will continue until the patient experiences side effects, the disease progresses, or they request to stop.
Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults with advanced, persistent, or recurrent endometrioid endometrial cancer that can't be cured by surgery or radiotherapy. Participants must have measurable disease, no more than two prior systemic therapies (only one may include chemo), and good organ function. They cannot join if they've had CDK4/6 inhibitors before, other cancer types like clear cell or serous cancers, known allergies to the drugs being tested, active infections, CNS metastases, HIV infection, certain medical conditions affecting drug absorption or bleeding risk.
What is being tested?
The trial tests how well patients with specific endometrial cancer respond to a combination of Abemaciclib and Letrozole after six months without their disease getting worse. It's a phase II study where all participants receive the same treatment until it's not tolerated anymore or until the disease progresses.
What are the potential side effects?
Possible side effects from Abemaciclib and Letrozole could include fatigue, diarrhea, nausea and vomiting; low blood counts leading to increased infection risk; liver problems; deep vein thrombosis; pulmonary embolism; hair loss; headache; joint pain and osteoporosis.
