Summary

This study tests whether slowly increasing the dose of the drug abemaciclib can cause fewer side effects than the standard dose in people with early-stage, hormone receptor-positive breast cancer. About 90 participants will take the drug along with standard hormone therapy. The goal is to see if this approach helps more people stay on treatment without needing to stop or lower their dose.
