CDK4/6 Inhibitors: The Mechanism of Action May Not Be as Simple as Once Thought
Open accessAbstract
CDK4/6 inhibitors are among a new generation of therapeutics. Building upon the striking success of the combination of CDK4/6 inhibitors and the hormone receptor antagonist letrozole in breast cancer, many other combinations have recently entered clinical trials in multiple diseases. To achieve maximal benefit with CDK4/6 inhibitors it will be critical to understand the cellular mechanisms by which they act. Here we highlight the mechanisms by which CDK4/6 inhibitors can exert their anti-tumor activities beyond simply enforcing cytostatic growth arrest, and discuss how this knowledge may inform new combinations, improve outcomes, and modify dosing schedules in the future.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
A language model drew the claims from the paper on 2026-10-07, under version 3 of the claim definition (model deepseek-v4.1-flash, prompt extract-v3).
A second model labelled each claim on 2026-10-07 (model jev-1.13-20260917, definition revision gold-guideline-v0.2).
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
