Find strings in a file with certain beginning and ending and replace with another string using command

I want to replace all the expression with pattern abc + something ))) to cba) in a file. The something in the first expression is different in all the instances. For example: change abc, ifojg))) to cba); or change abc "asdf"))) to cba). I've tried:

sed -i 's/abc*)))/new/g' file

But it did nothing on the file. How should I modify the code? I am not familiar with the regular expression. Please explain every symbol in the answer. Thanks!
