VANCOUVER, BC, April 11, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- USA News Group – The American Cancer Society is projecting 2024 to be the first year ever for the US to have more than 2 million new cases, which would represent a record high. Among 10 of the most common cancers, 6 have seen a rise in diagnoses, including the most common type of cancer in women—breast cancer. According to the World Health Organization breast cancer caused 670,000 deaths globally in 2022, and is predicting a 77% increase in new cancer cases by 2050. Based on the characteristics of each patient's tumor, how each patient is treated may be completely different from others. Broadening our ability to tackle breast cancer are several biotech developments including from Oncolytics Biotech Inc. (NASDAQ:ONCY) (TSX:ONC), Gilead Sciences, Inc. (NASDAQ:GILD), G1 Therapeutics, Inc. (NASDAQ:GTHX), AstraZeneca PLC (NASDAQ:AZN), and Hologic, Inc. (NASDAQ:HOLX).

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.
