NCT ID NCT06678269
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This early-stage trial tests the drug abemaciclib (a CDK4/6 inhibitor) given together with targeted radiation for people with metastatic HR+ HER2- breast cancer that has spread to bone. The main goal is to find the safest dose of abemaciclib when combined with radiation. About 28 adults with stage IV disease will take part. The study is currently recruiting.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Abemaciclib (a targeted cancer drug) and radiation therapy
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could help determine a safe dose of abemaciclib when given with radiation, potentially improving treatment for bone metastases in this type of breast cancer.
- What could go wrong
- This is a very early Phase I trial with only 28 participants, so it is primarily about safety and dosing, not effectiveness. The combination may cause side effects or not work better than current treatments.
