NCT ID NCT04469764
First seen Jul 17, 2026 · Last updated Jul 17, 2026
Summary
This phase II trial tests the drug abemaciclib in people whose ovarian or endometrial cancer has returned and whose tumors have a specific genetic change (CDK4/6 pathway activation). Abemaciclib is a pill that blocks certain enzymes that cancer cells need to grow. The study will see if the drug can stop or slow the cancer's progression.

- Active substance
- abemaciclib, a CDK4/6 inhibitor drug taken by mouth
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could provide a new targeted treatment option for patients with recurrent ovarian or endometrial cancers that have a specific genetic feature.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early-phase trial with only 32 participants, so results may not apply broadly. The drug may cause side effects and may not effectively control tumor growth.
