Scientists test drug combo to slow cancer growth before surgery

NCT ID NCT04049227

Summary

This small, early study tested whether giving two drugs—abemaciclib and letrozole—for two weeks before a planned hysterectomy could slow the growth of endometrial cancer cells. The main goal was to see if the treatment changed specific markers in the cancer cells, not to cure the disease. Researchers studied 27 patients to learn how the cancer responded to the drugs and to check for side effects.
