Summary

This trial looks at whether the drug Abemaciclib can shrink tumors before surgery. Tissue from the tumors will be collected before and after patients take the drug to see if there is a difference.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults over 18 with muscle-invasive bladder cancer (MIBC) stages T2-T4, who can't or won't use cisplatin-based chemo. They must be fit for surgery, not have had recent major surgery or anti-cancer therapy, and agree to contraception if applicable.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The trial tests Abemaciclib as a neoadjuvant treatment in bladder cancer patients. It's a single-arm study where all participants receive the drug before their tumors are surgically removed, allowing comparison of tissue samples before and after treatment.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Abemaciclib may cause side effects like diarrhea, fatigue, low blood cell counts leading to increased infection risk or bleeding problems, liver issues indicated by abnormal blood tests, and potential harm to an unborn baby.
