A Phase 1 Study of Neoadjuvant Abemaciclib in Combination With Radiation Therapy for Liposarcomas
United States18 participantsStarted 2025-03-19
Plain-language summary
This phase I trial tests the safety, side effects, and best dose of abemaciclib and how well it works with radiation therapy before surgery in treating patients with high-risk adipocytic retroperitoneal sarcoma. Abemaciclib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Radiation therapy uses high energy x-rays to kill tumor cells and shrink tumors. Giving abemaciclib together with radiation therapy before surgery may shrink tumors in patients with high-risk adipocytic retroperitoneal sarcoma.

Inclusion Criteria:
* Subjects, \>= 18 years old, must have newly diagnosed or locally recurrent MDM2 or CDK4-amplified adipocytic sarcoma as determined by fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH), or other clinically appropriate methodology in the opinion of the reviewing pathologist. Histologic or imaging evidence of the presence of a dedifferentiated component must be present
* Subjects must have one or more measurable target lesions by Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors version 1.1 (RECIST v1.1), assessed via CT scan or MRI
* At the time of study enrollment, subjects must have a tumor burden that is judged to be surgically resectable
* Have plans to undergo neoadjuvant radiation therapy followed by surgical resection. Review and approval of final treatment plans for subjects receiving radiotherapy locally/at an outside institution must be reviewed and approved by a radiation oncologist investigator prior to initiation of radiotherapy
* Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) \>= 1500/mm\^3 (\>= 1.5 GI/L) without granulocyte colony-stimulating factor support in the last 14 days (subjects may not have received blood product transfusion or granulocyte colony-stimulating factor \[G-CSF\] within 14 days prior to screening)
* White blood cell count \>= 2500/mm\^3 (\>= 2.5 GI/L) (subjects may not have received blood product transfusion or G-CSF within 14 days prior to screening)
* Platelets \>= 100,000/mm\^3 (\>= 100 GI/L) (subjects may not have received blood product transf…
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.
