Abemaciclib and Letrozole in Treating Patients With Endometrial Cancer
NCT04049227 · View on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
Study Summary
This early phase I trial studies how well abemaciclib and letrozole work in treating patients with endometrial cancer and determines whether there are changes in patients' cancer cell biomarkers (a genetic feature or specific protein) for cell growth before and after treatment. Antihormone therapy with aromatase inhibitors, such as letrozole, may lessen the amount of estrogen made by the body. Abemaciclib blocks the activities of a class of proteins called cyclin-dependent kinase, which are involved in cell duplication. Giving letrozole and abemaciclib together may slow down cancer cell growth in patients with endometrial cancer.

Full Details on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗What the Registry Record Tells You About NCT04049227
The ClinicalTrials.gov registry entry for NCT04049227 describes a study currently listed as completed. It is categorized as Early Phase 1, which is the standard way researchers label where a study sits along the investigational pathway from early safety work through later efficacy and post-marketing evaluation. The registered enrollment target is 27 participants, a figure that helps gauge the scale of data the investigators plan to collect. The listed sponsor is Northwestern University, which has 1,033 total studies on file at ClinicalTrials.gov, and sponsors are the parties responsible for study design, oversight, and regulatory filings.
The record links to 1 condition, with Endometrial Endometrioid Adenocarcinoma appearing as the primary indexed condition, and to 3 interventions — of which Letrozole is the first listed. Interventions can include drugs, devices, procedures, behavioral programs, or observational arms, and each is tracked as a separate registry field so that downstream queries can filter accurately. When a trial lists multiple interventions, it usually reflects a multi-arm design or a comparison protocol rather than a single treatment being tested in isolation. The brief summary published in the registry is the clearest source of protocol intent and should be read before drawing conclusions from any sidebar tags.
Geographic footprint matters for practical reasons: NCT04049227 reports 2 study locations spanning 1 distinct geographic area — top geographies include Illinois. A larger site network tends to correlate with broader recruitment capacity, but it does not imply anything about study quality, and site-level enrollment status can diverge from the overall registry status shown above. Every data point on this page comes from the public ClinicalTrials.gov dataset and is reproduced here for reference only; it is not a medical recommendation, an endorsement of the sponsor, or an invitation to enroll.
