Real-world data may reveal true value of abemaciclib for advanced breast cancer
NCT ID NCT04985058
First seen Jul 21, 2026 · Last updated Jul 22, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tracks 108 patients with HR-positive, HER2-negative advanced breast cancer who are receiving abemaciclib combined with hormone therapy. Researchers are collecting real-world data on how long patients live without their cancer worsening, overall survival, and side effects. The goal is to see if the benefits seen in clinical trials hold up in everyday medical practice.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- abemaciclib combined with endocrine therapy
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this study could confirm that abemaciclib plus hormone therapy works well in everyday practice, not just in controlled trials.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational study, not a controlled experiment, so results may be influenced by patient differences and cannot prove cause and effect.
