Plain-language summary
This phase I trial investigates the side effects and best dose of abexinostat and palbociclib when given together with fulvestrant in treating patients with breast or gynecologic cancer. Abexinostat may prevent tumor cells from growing and multiplying and may kill tumor cells. Palbociclib may prevent or slow the growth of tumor cells when used with other anti-hormonal therapy. Estrogen can cause the growth of breast and gynecologic tumor cells. Fulvestrant may help fight breast or gynecologic cancer by blocking the use of estrogen by the tumor cells. Giving abexinostat, palbociclib, and fulvestrant may work better in treating patients with breast or gynecologic cancer.

Inclusion Criteria:
* BREAST CANCER: Participants must have histologically confirmed hormone receptor (HR)+, HER2- locally advanced or metastatic stage IV breast cancer. HER2- should be defined as 0 or 1 by immunohistochemistry, or HER2 gene amplification by fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH), chromogenic in situ hybridization (CISH), or in situ hybridization (ISH) performed upon the primary tumor or metastatic lesion (ration \< 2 and HER2 copy \< 4). Estrogen receptor (ER) and progesterone receptor (PR) expression positivity is defined as more than 5% of tumor cells nuclei positive by immunohistochemistry in the sample on testing
* BREAST CANCER: Patients must have had disease progression after treatment with anti-estrogen therapy combined with Cyclin-dependent kinase 4/6 (CDK4/6) inhibitor after a minimum of at least 3 months therapy in the metastatic setting and no more than 3 prior lines of systemic therapy for metastatic breast cancer (MBC), unrestricted prior therapy in the dose escalation
* Note: Patients with breast cancer who were not previously treated with CDK4/6 inhibitors or have not tolerated full doses of prior ribociclib or palbociclib or abemaciclib are not eligible
* ENDOMETRIAL CANCER: Patients must have histologically confirmed metastatic endometrial cancer of endometrioid type
* ENDOMETRIAL CANCER: Tumors must have ER expression
* ENDOMETRIAL CANCER: Patients must have received a maximum of one line of hormonal therapy for the treatment of endo…
Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?
Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.
Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
