NEOadjuvant Abemaciclib and GIredestrant TriaL in Patients with ER-positive, HER2-negative Early Breast Cancer

Is NCT06259929 recruiting? Yes, currently enrolling (Jun 2026). This Phase 2 trial studies Abemaciclib 150 MG + Giredestrant 30 MG for breast cancer.

Phase 2RecruitingFondazione OncotechNCT06259929Data as of Jun 2026Location: Italy

Treatment: Abemaciclib 150 MG + Giredestrant 30 MGThe objective of the study is to evaluate the efficacy and the safety of abemaciclib and giredestrant before surgery in participants with early stage, oestrogen receptor-positive (ER+), human epidermal receptor 2 negative (HER2-) breast cancer (BC). Primary objective: ● To evaluate the efficacy of abemaciclib and giredestrant in complete cell cycle arrest (CCCA) rate at Week 2. Secondary objectives: * To evaluate the efficacy of abemaciclib and giredestrant in reducing the relative Ki67 expression from baseline to Week 2 * To evaluate the efficacy of abemaciclib and giredestrant in risk of recurrence (ROR) score reduction, clinical and radiological tumor response; * To evaluate the safety of abemaciclib and giredestrant. Exploratory objectives: * To evaluate the mechanisms of response and resistance to therapy; * To evaluate the correlation between Ki-67% reduction and 18- Fluorothymidine (FLT) uptake reduction; * To evaluate the pathological complete response (pCR) rate (ypT0/is, ypN0) of giredestrant plus abemaciclib

Does this trial require ERBB2?

Yes, ERBB2 negative is a required biomarker for enrollment.

Does this trial require MKI67?

Yes, MKI67 overexpression (Ki67 ≥10%) is a required biomarker for enrollment.

What disease stage is eligible?

Stage CT1C or CT4B or CT4C is required.

Is this trial open to male patients?

No. This trial enrolls female patients only.
