The study also showed a significant association between a patient’s TRI score and disease-free survival (DFS) and tumor regression grade (TRG).

Key Points: 
  • The study also showed a significant association between a patient’s TRI score and disease-free survival (DFS) and tumor regression grade (TRG).
  • Despite progress in gastroesophageal cancer therapy, only a small proportion of patients attain long-term survival.

Martedì, Dicembre 5, 2023

RESEARCH TRIANGLE PARK, N.C., Dec. 05, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- G1 Therapeutics, Inc. (Nasdaq: GTHX), a commercial-stage oncology company, today announced the presentation of new data describing the long-term positive survival impact of previous treatment with trilaciclib and cytotoxic chemotherapy (gemcitabine/carboplatin; GCb) in patients with metastatic triple negative breast cancer (mTNBC) who participated in G1’s Phase 2 trial (NCT02978716). The poster is being presented at the 2023 San Antonio Breast Cancer Symposium (SABCS), held December 5th to 9th in San Antonio, TX, and is available on the G1 Therapeutics website here.

Key Points: 
  • Administering trilaciclib with cytotoxic chemotherapy also led to improved survival in patients unable to receive SACT.
  • “These new analyses indicate that trilaciclib can protect the bone marrow and immune system against the harmful effects of cytotoxic therapy, leading to significantly improved survival outcomes among patients who receive subsequent anticancer therapies,” said Raj Malik, M.D., Chief Medical Officer at G1 Therapeutics.
  • After a median follow-up of 12.7 months on study, deaths were observed in 22/43 patients in the trilaciclib plus GCb group and 17/20 patients in the GCb-only group (no trilaciclib).
  • Median time on treatment was 5.5 months in the trilaciclib plus GCb group and 3.3 months in the GCb-only group.
