New Results from Ph 2 Trial Confirm Benefit of Trilaciclib in Reducing Adverse Events Related to an ADC
“These preliminary results continue to show the consistent benefit of trilaciclib when administered prior to sacituzumab, relative to the previously published single agent safety profile of this ADC, including greater than 50 percent reductions in the incidence of events including neutropenia, anemia, and diarrhea,” said Raj Malik, M.D., Chief Medical Officer at G1 Therapeutics. “It is too early to determine the efficacy of trilaciclib prior to sacituzumab in this patient population. However, early indications suggest a higher response rate in patients with PD-L1 positive tumors, which commonly have an immune inflamed tumor microenvironment and are thus more likely to respond early to immunotherapies. Given that this trial includes a heavily pretreated patient population, we are enthusiastic about these data to date. We will continue to monitor efficacy to assess the potential of trilaciclib to improve overall survival – by protecting the immune system and stimulating long term immune surveillance – when combined with additional treatment regimens beyond gemcitabine/carboplatin for patients with TNBC. We look forward to these overall survival data in the first quarter of 2024.”

“Between 2017 and 2023, the socioeconomic burden of HER2-positive breast cancer in ten major economies was nearly $590 billion, projected to increase to nearly $1,000 billion by 2032,” said Levi Garraway, M.D., Ph.D., Roche’s Chief Medical Officer and Head of Global Product Development. “At-home treatment may help alleviate the pressure
Richard Saynor, CEO of Sandoz, said: “The global burden of cancer continues to grow and the potential to address unmet patient needs has never been greater.

“Beyond the second-line monotherapy opportunity, we and our partners at Pfizer have removed plans for a Phase 3 first-line combination trial with atirmociclib, as well as the planned Phase 3 second-line combination trial with a CDK4/6 inhibitor, from our joint development plan,” continued Dr. Houston. “This decision was made following
“The interim PFS analysis results demonstrated that, compared to the current standard treatment, KN026 in combination with chemotherapy significantly improved PFS, reduced the risk of disease progression or death, and showed a trend toward OS benefit. Detailed data from this study will be presented at an upcoming international academic conference.”
