G1 Therapeutics announced the completion of enrollment in its Phase 3 clinical trial (PRESERVE 1) of trilaciclib for treating metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC), with 326 patients randomized. This trial aims to assess myeloprotection during chemotherapy, crucial as mCRC treatment often leads to dose delays impacting survival. The primary endpoint evaluates the duration and occurrence of severe neutropenia. Initial data, including primary endpoint results, are expected in early 2023. Positive outcomes may expedite regulatory approval by the FDA.

G1 Therapeutics (GTHX) presented a post-hoc analysis at the 2022 ASCO meeting, revealing that patients receiving trilaciclib experienced significantly fewer myelosuppressive events compared to those on placebo. Key findings include a 75% reduction in severe neutropenia and a 100% reduction in severe thrombocytopenia. The study highlights the potential of trilaciclib to enhance chemotherapy outcomes for patients with extensive-stage small cell lung cancer (ES-SCLC).
