G1 Therapeutics, Inc. - GTHX STOCK NEWS

G1 Therapeutics (GTHX) presented two posters at ISPOR, highlighting the economic impact of COSELA (trilaciclib) for treating myelosuppression in extensive-stage small cell lung cancer (ES-SCLC). A cost-benefit model indicates potential savings of $15,006 per patient due to reduced adverse events when using COSELA prior to chemotherapy. Additionally, an analysis of SEER-Medicare data demonstrates the significant healthcare burden of myelosuppression, with high rates of anemia (74.3%) and neutropenia (45.2%) among chemotherapy patients.

G1 Therapeutics has initiated the PRESERVE 4 clinical trial, a Phase 2 study evaluating the survival and myeloprotection benefits of COSELA™ (trilaciclib) in 146 patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) previously treated with checkpoint inhibitors. The trial will assess the anti-tumor efficacy of COSELA when administered before docetaxel chemotherapy. Results are expected in the first half of 2023. The primary focus is on overall survival compared to placebo, with secondary endpoints targeting progression-free survival and myeloprotection.

G1 Therapeutics announced the publication of positive results from three clinical trials of COSELA™ (trilaciclib) for treating extensive-stage small cell lung cancer (ES-SCLC) in Clinical Lung Cancer. The pivotal studies demonstrated that COSELA significantly reduced chemotherapy-induced myelosuppression compared to placebo, leading to decreased hematologic adverse events and supportive care needs. This enhancement in patient outcomes did not compromise the efficacy of chemotherapy. COSELA was FDA-approved in February 2021 to mitigate myelosuppression when used before specific chemotherapy regimens.
