Study Summary

This trial looks at the safety of using abemaciclib in different combinations of drugs to treat breast cancer that has spread.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults with breast cancer that has spread, who have specific treatment histories and organ function. Participants must not have severe preexisting conditions or certain heart diseases, and should not have received some treatments like CDK4/6 inhibitors (except in Part I) or systemic chemotherapy for metastatic disease.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests the safety of abemaciclib combined with various therapies (like letrozole, anastrozole, tamoxifen) for advanced breast cancer. It examines how well these combinations work when the cancer has spread to other body parts.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects may include digestive issues, fatigue, blood disorders, liver problems, risk of infection due to immune system suppression. Specific side effects depend on the combination therapy used.

Frequently Asked Questions

These questions and answers are submitted by anonymous patients, and have not been verified by our internal team.

What medical conditions are Endocrine therapies most often prescribed for?

"Endocrine therapy, which is used to target estrogen receptors, has the potential to combat a range of illnesses such as disease progression, diarrhea, and pulmonary issues."

Answered by AI

Are there vacancies currently available for participants of this research?

"At present, this trial is not open for enrollment. The study was first made available on March 10th 2014 and last updated August 8th 2022; however, if you are looking for other clinical trials there are 2287 studies focusing on breast cancer that are still accepting patients and 613 endocrine therapy related experiments."

Answered by AI

Have any prior experiments been conducted related to Endocrine treatment?

"Endocrine therapy was initially examined in 1994 at Queen Mary University of London. Since then, a total of 1272 trials have been finished, and 613 are presently active - notably there is a high concentration of research conducted out of Nashville, Tennessee."

Answered by AI

At which locations is this research experiment being conducted?

"Patients in need of this medical intervention can be enrolled at Tennessee Oncology PLLC, Providence Cancer Center Oncology Hematology Care and University of North carolina at Chapel Hill. Additionally, there are 16 other enrolment sites across the United States."

Answered by AI

Has Endocrine therapy received authorization from the FDA yet?

"We gave endocrine therapy a score of 1 on our scale, indicating that while it has been trialled before, there is limited evidence to support its efficacy and safety."

Answered by AI

To what extent is this experiment being conducted with participants?

"At this time, no patients are being enrolled in the trial. The study was initially released on March 10th 2014 and has since been updated as recently as August 8th 2022. However, if you wish to explore alternative options for participation there are currently 2287 studies actively seeking out individuals with breast cancer and 613 endocrine therapy trials looking for participants."
