- Percentage of Participants With Severe Diarrhea (≥ Grade 3) [ Time Frame: Cycle 3 (28 Days Cycle) ]Percentage of participants with severe diarrhea (≥ grade 3) during the first 3 cycles. Events were as assessed by the investigator and graded according to Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE). Grade 3 was defined as an increase of ≥7 stools per day over baseline; incontinence; hospitalization indicated; severe increase in ostomy output compared to baseline; limiting self-care activities of daily living (ADL).
- Percentage of Participants With Prolonged Grade 2 Diarrhea [ Time Frame: Cycle 3 (28 Days Cycle) ]Percentage of participants with prolonged grade 2 diarrhea during first 3 cycles. Events were as assessed by the investigator and graded according to Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE). Prolonged Grade 2 diarrhea was any event lasting more than 7 days. Grade 2 was defined as Increase of 4-6 stools per day over baseline; moderate increase in ostomy output compared to baseline.
- Percentage of Participants With Dose Reductions Due to Diarrhea [ Time Frame: Cycle 3 (28 Days Cycle) ]Percentage of participants with dose reductions due to diarrhea during first 3 cycles.
- Percentage of Participants With Dose Interruptions Due to Diarrhea [ Time Frame: Cycle 3 (28 Days Cycle) ]Percentage of participants with dose interruptions due to diarrhea during first 3 cycles.
- Percentage of Participants Who Discontinue Treatment Due to Diarrhea [ Time Frame: Cycle 3 (28 Days Cycle) ]Percentage of participants who discontinue treatment due to diarrhea
- Percentage of Participants Utilizing Antidiarrheals [ Time Frame: Cycle 3 (28 Days Cycle) ]Percentage of participants who utilized anti diarrheals at least once during the first 3 cycles.
- Pharmacokinetics (PK): Mean Steady State Exposure of Abemaciclib [ Time Frame: Cycle 1: Day 15; Cycle 2: Day 1, Day 15; Cycle 3: Day 1 (28 Days Cycle) ]PK: Mean steady state exposure of abemaciclib
- PK: Mean Steady State Exposure of Abemaciclib Metabolite LSN2839567 [ Time Frame: Cycle 1: Day 15; Cycle 2: Day1, Day 15; Cycle 3: Day 1 (28 Days Cycle) ]PK: Mean steady state exposure of abemaciclib metabolite LSN2839567
- PK: Mean Steady State Exposure of Abemaciclib Metabolite LSN3106726 [ Time Frame: Cycle 1: Day 15; Cycle 2: Day1, Day 15; Cycle 3: Day 1 (28 Days Cycle) ]PK: Mean steady state exposure of abemaciclib metabolite LSN3106726
