Clinical Trial 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.

Description:

Overall, up to 130 patients were planned to be enrolled in the study. In Part 1, approximately 40 patients were planned to be enrolled, assuming 9 to 10 cohorts. Part 1 was open-label, and no randomization or blinding was required. In Part 2A, approximately 45 patients were to be enrolled and randomly assigned (2:1) to trilaciclib (240 mg/m2) and topotecan (0.75 mg/m2) or placebo and topotecan (1.5 mg/m2). In Part 2B, approximately 45 patients were to be enrolled and randomly assigned (2:1) to trilaciclib (240 mg/mg2) and topotecan (1.5 mg/m2) or placebo and topotecan (1.5 mg/m2).

Patients who received placebo in Part 2A and Part 2B were to be combined into a single placebo group for the analysis to compare with trilaciclib+topotecan 1.5 mg/m2 with placebo + topotecan 1.5 mg/m2 (proximately 30 per treatment group).

The sample size calculation was to demonstrate the superiority of trilaciclib + topotecan 1.5 mg/m2 over placebo + topotecan 1.5 mg/m2 with respect to at least 1 of the primary endpoints. The overall type I error rate was 1-sided 0.10. Using the most conservative Bonferroni procedure for the 2 primary endpoints, a 1-sided individual type I error rate 0.10/2=0.05 was assigned to each outcome variable (DSN in Cycle 1 and occurrence of SN) in the sample size calculation. Assuming a common standard deviation of 2.5, a difference in the duration of SN in Cycle 1 of at least 2 days between the treatment groups, a sample size of 28 per arm was required to have 90% power to detect the assumed treatment effect. For occurrence of SN, assuming the event rate was 45% for placebo group, to detect an absolute reduction of 37% by trilaciclib group with 90% power would require a sample size of at least 29 per arm. Thus, 30 per arm was needed to ensure 90% power to detect assumed treatment effect for DSN in Cycle 1 and occurrence of SN. All calculations were carried out using the POWER procedure in SAS®, Version 9.4 procedure in SAS®, Version 9.4 or higher.

The results from endpoints that were commonly collected at Part 1 and part 2 are presented together in this report.

The posted results represent the final results of Study G1T28-03, a Phase 1b/2a safety and pharmacokinetic (PK) study of trilaciclib (G1T28) in patients with previously treated extensive-stage small cell lung cancer (SCLC) receiving topotecan chemotherapy in the second/third-line (2/3L) setting. The final myelopreservation efficacy results for both parts and exposure for Part 1 are from database lock 1 (data cut-off [DCO] for Primary Completion Date [PCD] 28 September 2018). The final anti-tumor efficacy (BOR, DOR, PFS) for both parts, final overall survival for Part 1 and exposure data from Part 2 are from a second database lock 2 (DCO 31 May 2019) and the final overall survival for Part 2 and safety (adverse events) are through the end of the study on October 4, 2021 which resulted in the final database lock (DCO 01 Nov 2021).

The maximum time frames provided reflect the time from when the first patient could be evaluated for an endpoint (ie. date of first dose of first patient) to the time when the data from both parts presented for that endpoint was considered final.

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	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)
Primary	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).

Progressive Disease (PD) was defined as at least a 20% increase in the sum of diameters of target lesions, taking as reference the smallest sum on study (this includes the baseline sum if that is the smallest on study). In addition to the relative increase of 20%, the sum must also demonstrate an absolute increase of at least 5 mm. (Note: the appearance of one or more new lesions is also considered progression).	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).
Secondary	Overall Survival (OS)	Median time (months) and 95% CI from date of first dose date of study drug/randomization until date of death. Patients who do not die during the study will be censored at the date last known to be alive.	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).
Secondary	Assess the Hematologic Profile of G1T28/Trilaciclib Administered With Topotecan	The weekly event rate of Major Adverse Hematologic Events (MAHE) events	During the treatment period.
