G1 Therapeutics to Present Additional Data from Randomized Phase 2 Trial of Trilaciclib in Combination with Etoposide/Carboplatin at European Society for Medical Oncology (ESMO) 2018 Congress
"These Phase 2 trial data are consistent with previously reported topline findings and demonstrate the multi-lineage myelopreservation benefits of trilaciclib across neutrophils, red blood cells and lymphocytes for patients receiving chemotherapy," said Raj Malik, M.D., Chief Medical Officer and Senior Vice President, R&D. "Our analyses of trilaciclib-related immune response supports the hypothesis that trilaciclib has the potential to improve efficacy of chemotherapy/immune checkpoint inhibitor combinations. Chemotherapy/checkpoint combinations are emerging as standard of care in multiple tumor types, and trilaciclib may offer both myelopreservation and survival benefits when added to these regimens. We expect preliminary myelopreservation data from our Phase 2 clinical trial combining trilaciclib with chemotherapy and the checkpoint inhibitor Tecentriq® (atezolizumab) for the treatment of first-line small cell lung cancer later this year."
