Trilaciclib protects CDK4/6-dependent hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells during chemotherapy (CT; myeloprotection). SG is an antibody–drug conjugate indicated to treat pts with mTNBC. In the phase III ASCENT trial, SG significantly extended survival vs single-agent CT but was associated with increased neutropenia (any grade [G], 63% vs 43%; G3/4, 51% vs 33%) and diarrhea (any G, 59% vs 12%; G3/4, 10% vs < 1%; Bardia et al.
Eligible adult pts (≥ 2 prior systemic therapies [≥ 1 in the metastatic setting]; measurable disease; confirmed hormone receptor-/HER2-negative status; ECOG PS 0/1) receive intravenous trilaciclib 240 mg/m2 prior to SG 10 mg/kg on Days 1 and 8 of each 21-day cycle until disease progression/toxicity. Tumor assessments occur at screening, every 6 weeks to week 36, then every 9 weeks until disease progression/subsequent anticancer therapy. Endpoints include antitumor efficacy, myeloprotection, and safety/tolerability.
As of January 17, 2023, 26 (of 45 planned) female pts had been enrolled and completed a median (range) of 4 (2–15) cycles. Pts had received a median of 2 (2–5) prior lines of therapy, including taxanes (n = 20) and immune checkpoint inhibitors (n = 18). See table; objective response rate by PD-L1 status will be presented. One pt had AEs that led to discontinuation of both study drugs.
∗PR, n = 6 (30%); 1 pt with PR continued therapy after PD (21% increase in sum of longest diameters)
AEs (safety population; N = 26) Any G, n (%) G3/4, n (%) - - Complete response (CR) 0 -
Preliminary data suggest trilaciclib prior to SG has the potential to reduce the rate and severity of multiple AEs compared with results from trials of SG alone, and warrant its continued evaluation.
