“The immunomodulatory mechanism of action of trilaciclib lends itself to longer term anti-tumor efficacy endpoints like PFS, as opposed to shorter term response rate endpoints, as was noted in the Phase 2 trial in triple negative breast cancer (TNBC),” said Raj Malik, M.D., Chief Medical Officer at G1 Therapeutics. “We look forward to the results of the maintenance portion of this trial, particularly given the preclinical work that we have conducted showing the potential synergy of trilaciclib with checkpoint inhibitors – which we seek to validate clinically in this study with longer term duration of response and PFS data. We would expect to present these results at a medical meeting in 2023.”
