In recent years, a range of cyclin-dependent kinase 4/6 (CDK4/6) inhibitors have been identified as significantly improving the survival of patients with hormone receptor-positive (HR+)/human epidermal growth factor receptor 2-negative (HER2-) breast cancer. As the use of CDK4/6 inhibitors continues to increase, safety concerns have garnered increasing attention. This study retrospectively collected, processed, analyzed, and evaluated the safety profile of abemaciclib, a CDK4/6 inhibitor with broad indications and a high clinical utilization rate. Additionally, potential influencing factors associated with common adverse reactions were explored to provide a foundation for its rational clinical application.
