Summary

This study looked at whether a combination of two drugs (LY3214996 and abemaciclib) can reach brain tumors in people with recurrent glioblastoma, a type of aggressive brain cancer. About 42 participants took the drugs before surgery to remove their tumor, and researchers measured drug levels in the tumor tissue and spinal fluid. The goal was to see if the drugs penetrate the brain and potentially slow tumor growth.
