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.
