Abemaciclib

Abemaciclib is an oral targeted therapy used to treat certain types of advanced or metastatic breast cancer. As a cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK) 4 and 6 inhibitor, it slows the growth and division of cancer cells by interrupting key signals that drive cell cycle progression. It is particularly effective in hormone receptor-positive (HR+), HER2-negative breast cancer.
