NCT ID NCT06025747
First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated Jun 23, 2026 · Updated 35 times
Summary
This early-phase trial is testing whether the drug abemaciclib, when given with radiation therapy before surgery, can safely shrink high-risk retroperitoneal liposarcomas. About 18 adults with this rare cancer will receive the combination to find the best dose and check for side effects. The goal is to see if this approach makes tumors easier to remove and improves outcomes.

abemaciclib (Verzenio) and radiation therapy
What this could lead to
If successful, this could lead to a new treatment option that shrinks tumors before surgery, potentially improving outcomes for people with this rare sarcoma.
What could go wrong
This is a very early, small phase 1 trial with only 18 participants, so results may not apply broadly. The combination may cause side effects or fail to shrink tumors as hoped.
