Brief summary

The purposes of this study are to determine: * The effect of single increasing doses of the study drug, abemaciclib, on healthy participants. * The relationship between the amount of abemaciclib and the electrical tracing of the heart rhythm when abemaciclib is given. * How much abemaciclib is found in the bloodstream and how long the body takes to get rid of it. Information about any side effects that occur will be collected. The study will enroll two groups (cohorts) of participants. Each group will complete 4 study periods. This study is expected to last about 3 months. Screening may occur up to 28 days prior to enrollment. All participants will undergo a follow-up assessment approximately 21 days after administration of their final dose of study drug.

ECG monitoring was conducted using a 12-lead digital Holter recorder from approximately 2 hours predose through 24 hours postdose on Day 1 of each period using 12-lead digital Holter recorder. Fridericia-corrected QT interval (QTcF): QTcF = QT/RR1/3, where RR is the interval between two R waves.

Mean Time Matched Placebo-Adjusted Changes From Baseline For Fridericia's Corrected QT Interval (ΔΔQTcF)

QT interval is a measure of the time between the start of the Q wave and the end of the T wave and was calculated from electrocardiogram (ECG) data. ECG monitoring was conducted using a 12-lead digital Holter recorder from approximately 2 hours predose through 24 hours postdose on Day 1 of each period using 12-lead digital Holter recorder. Fridericia-corrected QT interval (QTcF): QTcF = QT/RR1/3, where RR is the interval between two R waves.

Time frame: Day 1: 2hr,4hr,6hr,8hr,10hr,12hr,14hr,24hr Post Dose

Population: All randomized participants who received at least one dose of study drug and had baseline and post baseline QTcF values.
