Summary
This trial tests how well abemaciclib works in treating patients with neuroendocrine tumors that have spread, don't respond to treatment, and can't be removed by surgery.
See full description
Who is the study for?
Adults with advanced, treatment-resistant digestive system neuroendocrine tumors that can't be surgically removed. Participants must be able to take oral meds, have measurable disease by CT or MRI, and meet specific blood count and organ function criteria. Women of childbearing potential and men must agree to use effective contraception.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The trial is testing the effectiveness of Abemaciclib in patients whose neuroendocrine tumors have spread and are not responding to other treatments. The drug aims to inhibit enzymes necessary for tumor cell growth.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Abemaciclib may cause fatigue, diarrhea, low white blood cell counts (increasing infection risk), liver enzyme changes, deep vein thrombosis or pulmonary embolism (blood clots), and potential harm to a fetus if taken during pregnancy.
