Study Type

INTERVENTIONAL

Conditions

Summary

This research study is studying a targeted therapy as a possible treatment for cancer abnormality in one of the following genes: CCND1, CCND2, CCND3, CDK4, or CDK6. The drug involved in this study is: -Abemaciclib


Eligibility

Min Age: 18 Years

Plain Language Summary

Simplified for easier understanding

This study is testing a drug called abemaciclib — which blocks proteins that help cancer cells divide — in people with advanced solid tumors (not breast cancer) that have specific genetic changes affecting a group of proteins called D-type cyclins or CDK4/CDK6. **You may be eligible if...** - You have an advanced solid tumor (other than breast cancer) that has not responded to standard treatments - Your tumor has a specific genetic change in cyclin D genes or CDK4/CDK6 amplification, confirmed by testing - You are well enough to participate and have adequate organ function **You may NOT be eligible if...** - You have breast cancer - Your tumor does not have the required genetic change - You have already received abemaciclib - You have severe heart, liver, or other organ problems Talk to your doctor to see if this trial is right for you.
