What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Phase 1b: RP2D
Based on the observed number of dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs) during the first cycle. Dose-limiting toxicity is based on the National Cancer Institute (NCI) Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version 5.0. DLTs will be evaluated during the first cycle (28 days) of treatment in up to 3 cohorts during Phase 1b. A DLT will be defined as any of the toxicities listed in the protocol that are not clearly due to breast cancer or extraneous causes.
Measured: Cycle 1 (28 days)
Phase 2: Objective Response Rate (ORR) Per Overall Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors Version 1.1 (RECIST V1.1)

Clinical summary
The research question as the sponsor registered it. This describes what the study plans to test, not what it found.
This is a multi-site, global, open-label study that includes a phase 1b evaluation of elacestrant in combination with abemaciclib in women and men with brain metastases from estrogen receptor (ER)-positive, human epidermal growth factor receptor-2 (HER-2) negative breast cancer. Phase 1b was designed to select the recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) and is followed by an ongoing phase 2 evaluation of elacestrant in combination with abemaciclib in participants with active brain metastases from ER-positive, HER-2 negative breast cancer.

Primary outcome
Phase 1b: RP2D
Time frame: Cycle 1 (28 days)
Based on the observed number of dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs) during the first cycle. Dose-limiting toxicity is based on the National Cancer Institute (NCI) Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version 5.0. DLTs will be evaluated during the first cycle (28 days) of treatment in up to 3 cohorts during Phase 1b. A DLT will be defined as any of the toxicities listed in the protocol that are not clearly due to breast cancer or extraneous causes.
Phase 2: Objective Response Rate (ORR) Per Overall Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors Version 1.1 (RECIST V1.1)
Time frame: 3 years
Defined as the proportion of participants with a best overall response (BOR) of either a confirmed complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) per blinded independent central review (BICR).

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 1/2 study testing Elacestrant and Abemaciclib in people with Breast Neoplasms and Brain Neoplasms, run by Stemline Therapeutics, Inc. at 86 sites in 10 countries.
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
The sponsor lists 39 inclusion and 34 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 9 Oct 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 86 sites in Italy, Spain, United States, Turkey (Türkiye), France and 5 more countries. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
What does this combined phase mean?
Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.
Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.
Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.
Are results available for this study?
This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
Contact Stemline Trials (1-877-332-7961, clinicaltrials@menarinistemline.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Phase 1b: RP2D (time frame: Cycle 1 (28 days)). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 9 Oct 2026.
