ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT04607668 |
Recruitment Status :
Terminated
(Despite achieving co-primary endpoints & other secondary measures of myeloprotection & tolerability, early anti-tumor efficacy data favor patients receiving placebo. Given the low likelihood of achieving PFS & OS endpoints, G1 decided to discontinue)

Colorectal Cancer Metastatic Myelosuppression-Adult Chemotherapeutic Toxicity | Drug: Trilaciclib Drug: Placebo | Phase 3 |
Patients will be randomly assigned (1:1) to receive placebo or trilaciclib on Days 1 and 2 administered intravenously (IV) prior to FOLFOXIRI/bevacizumab in 14-day cycles for up to 12 cycles (Induction).
Following completion of Induction, patients will continue in Maintenance, where they will receive trilaciclib or placebo per randomization allocation at study entry. Trilaciclib/placebo will be administered prior to infusional-5FU/leucovorin/bevacizumab at the same dose and schedule used during Induction. The patient may continue to receive treatment on study until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, withdrawal of consent, discontinuation by Investigator, or the end of the trial, whichever occurs first. Treatment cycles will occur consecutively without interruption, except when necessary to manage toxicities or for administrative reasons.

Arm | Intervention/treatment |
---|---|
Experimental: trilaciclib + FOLFOXIRI/bevacizumab
During Induction the following study drugs are administered on Day 1: Irinotecan- IV Oxaliplatin - IV Leucovorin- IV Fluorouracil - continuous infusion (CI) over 48 hours beginning on Day 1; Bevacizumab - IV Following completion of Induction, patients will continue in Maintenance, where they will continue to receive trilaciclib per randomization allocation. Trilaciclib will be administered prior to infusional-5FU/leucovorin/bevacizumab at the same dose and schedule used during Induction. |

Placebo Comparator: placebo + FOLFOXIRI/bevacizumab
The subjects in the placebo arm will follow the same schedule as the trilaciclib arm, but will receive placebo instead of trilaciclib

- Myelopreservation [ Time Frame: Through Induction Period- on average 24 weeks (up to 12 cycles) of FOLFOXIRI/bevacizumab ]To assess the effects of trilaciclib on the neutrophil lineage compared with placebo in patients receiving FOLFOXIRI/bevacizumab for pMMR/MSS mCRC as measured by duration of severe [Grade 4] neutropenia [DSN] in Cycle 1 and occurrence of severe neutropenia [SN] during Induction
- Quality of Life/ Effects on Chemotherapy-Induced Fatigue [ Time Frame: Through Induction Period- on average 24 weeks (up to 12 cycles) of FOLFOXIRI/bevacizumab ]To assess the effects of trilaciclib on chemotherapy-induced fatigue compared with placebo in patients receiving FOLFOXIRI/bevacizumab for pMMR/MSS mCRC, as measured by Time To First Confirmed Deterioration of Fatigue (TTCD-fatigue) during Induction, as measured by the FACIT-F (Functional Assessment of Chronic Illness Therapy-Fatigue).
- Anti-tumor Efficacy [ Time Frame: From date of randomization until date of documented radiologic disease progression per RECIST v1.1 or death due to any cause, whichever comes first ]To assess the effect of trilaciclib on Progression Free Survival (PFS) compared with placebo in patients receiving FOLFOXIRI/bevacizumab for pMMR/MSS mCRC as measured by Radiographic PFS (per RECIST 1.1) and OS
- Anti-tumor Efficacy [ Time Frame: From date of randomization until date of death due to any cause ]To assess the effect of trilaciclib on Overall Survival (OS) compared with placebo in patients receiving FOLFOXIRI/bevacizumab for pMMR/MSS mCRC as measured by Radiographic PFS (per RECIST 1.1) and OS
