Summary

This trial is testing a new drug combo to see if it's more effective than current treatments for this type of cancer, and what kind of side effects it causes.

Who is the study for?

This trial is for women over 18 with recurrent endometrial cancer who've had a hysterectomy and/or oophorectomy, are postmenopausal, and may have had limited prior treatments. They should be in good health otherwise, not pregnant or breastfeeding, willing to use contraception if of childbearing potential, and able to swallow pills.

What is being tested?

The study tests the effectiveness of combining two drugs: Abemaciclib and Fulvestrant in treating recurrent endometrial cancer. It also examines the side effects of this treatment combination on participants.

What are the potential side effects?

While specific side effects aren't listed here, common ones from similar treatments include nausea, fatigue, risk of infection due to low blood cell counts, hot flashes from hormonal therapy like fulvestrant and possible liver issues.
