Abemaciclib and radiation for metastatic breast cancer
Treatments studied
Part of Cancer, Skin clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a targeted therapy (abemaciclib) combined with focused radiation (SBRT) to a bone tumor can help people with advanced breast cancer. It is for patients whose cancer is hormone receptor positive and HER2 negative, and who will continue abemaciclib after radiation.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 or older.
- Your breast cancer has spread to other parts of the body (stage IV).
- Your doctor plans to give you high-dose radiation (SBRT) to a spot in your bone.
- Your cancer is hormone receptor positive (ER+ or PR+) and HER2 negative.
- Your doctor plans to restart the targeted therapy abemaciclib (Verzenio) after radiation.
- You are able to swallow pills and have adequate organ function (kidney, liver, blood counts).

This Phase 1/2 trial tests whether combining abemaciclib with bicalutamide can slow or shrink HER2-negative, androgen receptor–positive (AR-positive) metastatic breast cancer. It mainly looks at safety and side effects, and also whether the combination can help patients with this type of breast cancer.
This trial combines a short course of radiation before surgery with two oral medications (abemaciclib and letrozole) to treat early-stage, hormone-sensitive breast cancer. The goal is to see if this approach can shrink the tumor and improve outcomes.
This trial tests whether adding a targeted therapy (abemaciclib) to standard chemotherapy before surgery can shrink tumors and improve outcomes in hormone-positive, HER2-negative early breast cancer. It also uses a genetic test (Oncotype DX) to help guide surgical choices.
This trial tests whether adding a targeted drug (abemaciclib) to standard treatment helps prevent breast cancer from coming back again after a local recurrence in women with HR-positive, HER2-negative breast cancer.
This trial tests a drug called abemaciclib for people with early-stage, hormone-receptor-positive, HER2-negative breast cancer who still have cancer DNA in their blood after completing standard treatment. It aims to see if taking this drug can reduce the chance of cancer coming back.
This study tests whether women with early-stage HR+/HER2- breast cancer can safely take a higher dose of the drug abemaciclib (Verzenio) after surgery. The goal is to keep the treatment as strong as possible while managing side effects.
