NCT02514447

Brief Summary

This was a study to investigate the potential clinical benefit of trilaciclib (G1T28), a Cyclin Dependent Kinase (CDK) 4/6 inhibitor, in preserving the bone marrow and the immune system, in order to decrease chemotherapy-induced myelosuppression and improve anti-tumor efficacy when administered prior to topotecan in patients previously treated for extensive-stage SCLC. The study consisted of 2 parts: a limited open-label, dose-finding portion (Part 1), and a randomized double-blind portion (Part 2). Both parts included 3 study phases: Screening Phase, Treatment Phase, and Survival Follow-up Phase. The Treatment Phase began on the day of first dose with study treatment and completes at the Post-Treatment Visit.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (3)

  • Duration of Severe (Grade 4) Neutropenia in Cycle 1

    Duration of severe neutropenia (DSN; days) was defined as the number of days from the date of the first ANC value of \<0.5 × 10\^9/L observed between start of cycle and end of cycle to the date of the first ANC value ≥0.5 × 10\^9/L that met the following criteria: (1) occurred after the ANC value of \<0.5 × 10\^9/L and (2) no other ANC values \<0.5 × 10\^9/L occurred between this day and end of cycle. DSN is set to 0 for patients who did not experience SN in a cycle, including those who were randomized but never treated. Data from unscheduled visits and the actual assessment date (rather than visit date) were included in the derivation.

    Evaluated for Cycle 1 (i.e., from date of first dose of study drug (Part 1)/randomization (Part 2) to the end of Cycle 1, each cycle = 21 days)

  • Occurrence of Severe (Grade 4) Neutropenia

    Number of Participants with severe (Grade 4) neutropenia (SN) was a binary variable. If a patient had at least 1 absolute neutrophil count value \<0.5 × 10\^9/L during the Treatment Period, the patient was assigned as Yes to the occurrence of SN; otherwise, it was No.

    During the treatment period. From date of first dose (Part 1)/randomization (Part 2), 21 day treatment cycles continue until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, or discontinuation by the patient or investigator (assessed up to 1090 days).

  • Assess the Dose Limiting Toxicities (DLTs) of G1T28/Trilaciclib Administered With Topotecan in Part 1

    The percentage of patients experiencing DLTs in Part 1 of the study in each cohort, including: * Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) \< 0.5 × 10\^9/L lasting for ≥ 7 days * ≥ Grade 3 neutropenic infection/febrile neutropenia * Grade 4 thrombocytopenia or ≥ Grade 3 thrombocytopenia with bleeding * Unable to start next cycle of chemotherapy due to lack of recovery to an ANC ≥ 1.5 × 10\^9/L and platelet count ≥ 100 × 10\^9/L; a delay of up to 1 week from the scheduled start of Cycle 2 is allowed for recovery of ANC and platelet count, and is not considered a DLT * ≥ Grade 3 nonhematologic toxicity (nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea failing maximal medical management; fatigue lasting for \> 72 hours)

    Evaluated for Cycle 1 (i.e., from date of first dose of study drug (Part 1) to the end of Cycle 1, each cycle = 21 days)

Secondary Outcomes (20)

  • Pharmacokinetic Profile for Trilaciclib (G1T28) When Administered With Topotecan

    Part 1 of the study during Cycle 1 Day 4 : predose, 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 4.5, 6.5, 8.5 (optional), and 24.5 hours post dose. Part 2 of the study during Cycle 1 Day 4 : predose, 0.5, 1, between 3 to 4 hours and between 5.5 to 6.5 hours post dose.

  • Progression Free Survival (PFS)

    From date of first dose of study drug (Part 1)/randomization (Part 2), until date of documented disease progression or death due to any cause (evaluated up to a maximum of 1335 days).

  • Overall Survival (OS)

    From date of first dose of study drug (Part 1)/randomization (Part 2) until the date of death due to any cause (evaluated up to a maximum of 2220 days).

  • Assess the Hematologic Profile of G1T28/Trilaciclib Administered With Topotecan

    During the treatment period. From date of first dose (Part 1)/randomization (Part 2), 21 day treatment cycles continue until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, or discontinuation by the patient or investigator (assessed up to 1090 days).

  • Tumor Response Based on RECIST, Version 1.1

    From date of first dose of study drug (Part 1)/randomization (Part 2) until the occurrence of progressive disease, withdrawal of consent, or initiation of subsequent anti-cancer therapy, (assessed up to a maximum of 1335 days).

Limitations and Caveats

Limitation of the trial is small numbers of subjects, since it is a Phase 2 clinical trial. Small sample size may have reduced the ability to observe statistically significant treatment effects on secondary myelopreservation measures (i.e. occurrence of FN AEs, infections and antibiotics usage).
