G1 Therapeutics Announces Initiation of New Phase 2 Trial of Trilaciclib in Combination with the Antibody-Drug Conjugate (ADC), Trodelvy® (Sacituzumab Govitecan-Hziy)
“All of our clinical programs are designed to maximize the utility of trilaciclib and evaluate its ability to transform treatments for patients living with cancer, including potential synergies with newer promising agents, such as ADCs,” said
Patient recruitment in this trial is now underway. Approximately 40 patients will be enrolled in this exploratory Phase 2, multicenter, open-label, single arm study evaluating the safety and efficacy of trilaciclib administered prior to sacituzumab govitecan-hziy in patients with unresectable, locally advanced or metastatic TNBC who received at least 2 prior treatments, at least 1 in the metastatic setting. Trilaciclib will be administered as a 30-minute IV infusion completed within 4 hours prior to the start of sacituzumab govitecan-hziy treatment on day 1 and day 8 of each 21-day cycle.
Study drug administration will continue until progressive disease per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) v1.1 or clinical progression as determined by the Investigator, unacceptable toxicity, withdrawal of consent, Investigator decision, or the end of the study, whichever occurs first.
The primary objective is to evaluate the anti-tumor efficacy of trilaciclib when administered prior to sacituzumab govitecan-hziy as measured by progression-free survival (PFS). Key secondary endpoints include evaluation of the anti-tumor efficacy as measured by the objective response rate (ORR), duration of objective response (DOR), clinical benefit rate (CBR), and overall survival (OS); and evaluation of the myeloprotective effects of trilaciclib.
