CDK4/6 Inhibitors clinical trials at UCSF

2 in progress, 1 open to eligible people

CDK4/6 inhibitors are drugs that interfere with cancer cell multiplication. UCSF is investigating abemaciclib in patients with advanced prostate cancer, focusing on its effects before another treatment. The trial checks how safe it is, potential side effects, and the best amount to use.

Showing trials for

  • Abemaciclib Before 177Lu-PSMA-617 for the Treatment of Metastatic Castrate Resistant Prostate Cancer

    open to eligible people ages 18 years and up

    This phase I/II trial tests the safety, side effects, and best dose of abemaciclib and whether it works before 177Lu-PSMA-617 in treating patients with castration resistant prostate cancer that has spread to other places in the body (metastatic). Abemaciclib is in a class of medications called kinase inhibitors. It is highly selective inhibitors of cyclin-dependent kinase 4 and 6, which are proteins involved in cell differentiation and growth. It works by blocking the action of an abnormal protein that signals cancer cells to multiply. Radioligand therapy uses a small molecule (in this case 177Lu-PSMA-617), which carries a radioactive component to destroys tumor cells. When 177Lu-PSMA-617 is injected into the body, it attaches to the prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) receptor found on tumor cells. After 177Lu-PSMA-617 attaches to the PSMA receptor, its radiation component destroys the tumor cell. Giving abemaciclib before 177Lu-PSMA-617 may help 177Lu-PSMA-617 kill more tumor cells.

  • LY4064809 With Other Anti-Cancer Treatments in Participants With Advanced Breast Cancer With a Genetic Change (PIK3CA)

    Sorry, not currently recruiting here

    The purpose of the study is to assess the efficacy and safety of the addition of LY4064809 to other anti-cancer drugs as first treatment for advanced hormone receptor-positive (HR+)/human epidermal growth factor receptor 2-negative (HER2-) breast cancer. Participants can remain in the study as long as the drug is helping the cancer without unbearable side effects.
