JUNIPER Trial Summary

This trial will study whether the drug abemaciclib is safe and effective for people with lung cancer.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults with stage IV non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) who have specific KRAS mutations and whose disease has worsened after platinum-based chemotherapy. They must be in good physical condition, not have received certain unapproved drugs recently, and cannot have unstable brain metastases or a history of serious heart rhythm problems.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study is testing the safety and effectiveness of abemaciclib, a new drug, on participants with NSCLC who carry certain KRAS mutations. The trial will also involve erlotinib to see how well these treatments work together against this type of lung cancer.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Possible side effects from abemaciclib may include diarrhea, fatigue, low white blood cell counts which can increase infection risk, liver enzyme changes suggesting liver injury, deep vein thrombosis or pulmonary embolism. Erlotinib can cause rash and diarrhea.

Frequently Asked Questions

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

Are there any other examples of Abemaciclib's efficacy?

"Abemaciclib was first trialed over 18 years ago at Mayo Clinic's Rochester location. As of now, 446 similar studies have been completed with 144 more currently underway across the globe; a significant portion of these are located in Joplin, Missouri."

Answered by AI

Has the federal government given its stamp of approval to Abemaciclib?

"Abemaciclib's safety is estimated to be a 3. This is because it is a Phase 3 trial, which means that there is evidence from earlier trials to support both its efficacy and safety."

Answered by AI

How many different hospitals are a part of this clinical trial?

"To make participating more convenient for patients, this clinical trial has 62 locations. These include cities such as Joplin, Louisville and Omaha. You can find the full list of sites on our website."

Answered by AI

For what types of illnesses is Abemaciclib most often prescribed?

"Abemaciclib is most often given to patients with pancreatic carcinoma. However, it has also shown efficacy in treating other conditions such as advanced hr + her2 - breast cancer, malignant neoplasms, and disease progression after chemotherapy."
