Study of Trilaciclib and Lurbinectidin

Lung cancer is by far the leading cause of cancer death among both men and women worldwide and the second most common cancer in terms of new cases. Small cell lung cancer (SCLC) is the deadliest form of lung cancer. The standard first-line treatment is the combination of carboplatin, etoposide, and atezolizumab. While response rates for this regimen are high (roughly 60%), the duration of response is short, typically 4 months. Following progression after the 1st line treatment of SCLC, there is no consensus regarding subsequent therapy. Lurbinectedin is FDA approved and is increasingly preferred in clinical practice. Toxicity was significant, but appeared favorable compared to historic results with topotecan, leading to the adoption of this therapy for second-line SCLC. The toxicity profile was dominated by myelosuppression.

This study investigates the effect of Trilaciclib on myelosuppression rate in subjects with platinum refractory extensive stage (ES)- SCLC receiving Lurbinectedin as well as the clinical synergy of Trilaciclib and Lurbinectedin combination.

Treatment and study plan

Trilaciclib

Drug

240 mg/m2 intravenous, over 30 minutes at day 1 of each cycle

Lurbinectedin

Drug

3.2 mg/m2, over 60 minutes at day 1 of each cycle

Primary outcomes

  1. The proportion of grade 4 neutropenia

    Time frame: Up to 21 days

    The proportion of subjects that experience grade 4 neutropenia as graded by the National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) v5.0 will be determined.

    CTCAE is descriptive terminology that can be used for Adverse Event (AE) grading and reporting. Grade 1 Mild; asymptomatic or mild symptoms; clinical or diagnostic observations only; intervention not indicated. Grade 2 Moderate; minimal, local, or noninvasive intervention indicated; limiting age-appropriate instrumental Activities of Daily Living (ADL). Grade 3 Severe or medically significant but not immediately life-threatening; hospitalization or prolongation of hospitalization indicated; disabling; limiting self-care ADL. Grade 4 Life-threatening consequences; urgent intervention indicated. Grade 5 Death related to AE.

  2. The duration of grade 4 neutropenia

    Time frame: Up to 21 days

    The median duration of subjects that experience grade 4 neutropenia as graded by the National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) v5.0 will be reported.

Secondary outcomes

  1. The mean duration of grade 4 neutropenia

    Time frame: Up to 21 days

    The mean duration of grade 4 neutropenia in cycle 1 will be defined as the start of grade 4 neutropenia to the time of decreased grade as measured in days or censored at the time of death if a subject dies with Grade 4 neutropenia in Cycle 1.

  2. The number of grade 3/4 anemia, grade 3/4 thrombocytopenia, and febrile neutropenia

    Time frame: Up to 8 months

    Toxicity will be evaluated, as the number of grade 3/4 anemia, grade 3/4 thrombocytopenia, and febrile neutropenia based on the National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) v5.0 criteria, in any cycle (including cycle 1).

  3. Use of secondary/reactive supportive measures

    Time frame: Up to 8 months

    To characterize use of secondary/reactive supportive measures any supportive measures such as Granulocyte colony-stimulating factor ( G-CSF) and erythropoietin stimulating agents (ESA) administration, red blood cell and platelet transfusion will be recorded.

  4. Dose Intensity of Chemotherapy/ Number of chemotherapy dose reductions

    Time frame: Up to 8 months

    The dose Intensity of Chemotherapy/ Number of chemotherapy dose reductions will be defined as the ratio of the subjects who required chemotherapy dose reductions to all subjects who received study treatment.

  5. Dose Intensity of Chemotherapy/ Number of chemotherapy cycles

    Time frame: Up to 8 months

    The dose Intensity of Chemotherapy/ Number of chemotherapy cycles will be defined as the median number of chemotherapy cycles among the subject who received study treatment.

  6. Dose Intensity of Chemotherapy/ Number of chemotherapy delays

    Time frame: Up to 8 months

    The dose Intensity of Chemotherapy/ Number of chemotherapy delays will be defined as the median number of chemotherapy cycle delays dates among the subject who received study treatment.

  7. Dose Intensity of Chemotherapy/ the total chemotherapy dose

    Time frame: Up to 8 months

    The dose Intensity of Chemotherapy/ the total chemotherapy dose will be defined as the median chemotherapy dose among the subject who received study treatment.

  8. Overall Response Rate (ORR)

    Time frame: Up to 5 years

    To estimate the ORR, the proportion of subjects that respond (CR + PR) will be measured according to RESIST 1.1 will be calculated.

    RECIST: Radiographic response will be measured by RECIST, Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors Criteria, indicating if the subject experienced a Complete Response (CR), disappearance of all target lesions; Partial Response (PR), >=30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions; Stable Disease (SD), no response or less response than Partial or Progressive; or Progressive Disease (PD), as a 20% increase in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions, or a measurable increase in a non-target lesion, or the appearance of new lesions.

  9. Progression-free survival (PFS)

    Time frame: Up to 5 years

    PFS will be measured from the initiation of study therapy until progression per RECIST 1.1 or death of any cause or at last date of disease assessment if no progression is observed during the study period.

  10. Overall survival (OS)

    Time frame: Up to 5 years

    OS will be measured from the initiation of therapy until death of any cause or censored at the last time known to be alive.

  11. The kinetics of response

    Time frame: Up to 5 years

    The kinetics of response will be reported as tumor size over time for all patients, including the pace of progression from prior therapy.

  12. QOL assessments FACT-L

    Time frame: Up to 5 years

    Scores from QOL assessments FACT-L version 4, from prior to study therapy through cycle 12 will be obtained, as described in the protocol.

    The FACT-L is a lung cancer specific subscale given at baseline, after each cycle and at end of treatment. Items are rated by patients on a Likert scale from 0 to 4. Higher scores represent better QOL.

  13. QOL assessments FACT-An

    Time frame: Up to 5 years

    Scores from QOL assessments FACT-An version 4, from prior to study therapy through cycle 12 will be obtained, as described in the protocol.

    The FACT-An is an anemia specific subscale given at baseline, after each cycle and at end of treatment. Items are rated by patients on a Likert scale from 0 to 4. Higher scores represent better QOL.
