  • NTI, narrow therapeutic index.

  • a The effect of a moderate inducer on the pharmacokinetics of abemaciclib was requested as a postmarket requirement via PBPK models or clinical trials.

  • b Midazolam was administered as 400 mg once daily for 8 days.

  • c Midazolam was administered as 600 mg (recommended clinical dose) once daily for 8 days.
