Summary

This study tested a combination of two drugs, abemaciclib and elacestrant, in women with a certain type of breast cancer (HR+/Her2-) that had spread to the brain. The goal was to see if the drugs were safe and could shrink or control brain tumors. Only 5 patients were enrolled before the study was stopped early, so results are very limited.
