TNBC - Triple-Negative Breast Cancer Breast Cancer | Drug: Trilaciclib Drug: Placebo Drug: Gemcitabine Drug: Carboplatin | Phase 3 |
This study will have two separate cohorts (Cohort 1 and Cohort 2). Both cohorts will follow the same general study conduct/design with similar primary and key secondary endpoints and identical treatment arms.
- Cohort 1 will evaluate patients receiving first-line therapy, regardless of programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) status, who are programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-1)/PD-L1 inhibitor therapy naïve.
- Cohort 2 will evaluate PD-L1 positive patients receiving second-line therapy following prior PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitor therapy in the locally advanced unresectable/metastatic setting.

Official Title: | A Phase 3, Randomized, Double-Blind Study of Trilaciclib or Placebo in Patients Receiving First- or Second-Line Gemcitabine and Carboplatin Chemotherapy for Locally Advanced Unresectable or Metastatic Triple-Negative Breast Cancer (PRESERVE 2) |
Actual Study Start Date : | April 15, 2021 |
Estimated Primary Completion Date : | June 30, 2024 |
Estimated Study Completion Date : | October 25, 2024 |

Arm | Intervention/treatment |
---|---|
Experimental: Trilaciclib + gemcitabine + carboplatin
Trilaciclib (240mg/m2) + gemcitabine (1000 mg/m2) and carboplatin (AUC 2)
|
Drug: Trilaciclib
Trilaciclib administered IV over 30mins prior to chemotherapy on Day 1 and Day 8 of each 21-day cycle.
Other Names:
Drug: Gemcitabine Gemcitabine administered IV on Day 1 and Day 8 of each 21-day cycle. Drug: Carboplatin Carboplatin administered IV on Day 1 and Day 8 of each 21-day cycle. |
Placebo Comparator: Placebo + gemcitabine + carboplatin
The subjects in the placebo arm will follow the same schedule as the trilaciclib arm, but will receive placebo instead of trilaciclib.
|
Drug: Placebo
Placebo administered IV over 30mins prior to chemotherapy on Day 1 and Day 8 of each 21-day cycle.
Other Names:
Drug: Gemcitabine Gemcitabine administered IV on Day 1 and Day 8 of each 21-day cycle. Drug: Carboplatin Carboplatin administered IV on Day 1 and Day 8 of each 21-day cycle. |
- Effect on Overall Survival (OS) [ Time Frame: Cohort 1:From date of randomization up to 39 months ](Cohort 1):To evaluate the effect of trilaciclib on overall survival (OS) compared with placebo in patients receiving first-line gemcitabine and carboplatin.
- Effect on Overall Survival (OS) [ Time Frame: Cohort 2: From date of randomization up to 28 months ](Cohort 2): To evaluate the effect of trilaciclib on OS compared with placebo in patients receiving gemcitabine and carboplatin as second-line therapy after treatment with a PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitor in the locally advanced unresectable/metastatic setting
- Quality of life/Effects On Chemotherapy-Induced Fatigue [ Time Frame: Cycle 1 Day 1 (each cycle is 21 days) up to 14 months ]To assess the effect of trilaciclib on patients' quality of life as measured by time to first confirmed deterioration of fatigue compared with placebo in patients receiving gemcitabine and carboplatin
- Myeloprotective Effects [ Time Frame: Cycle 1 Day 1 (each cycle is 21 days) up to 14 months ]Occurrence of cytopenias, febrile neutropenia, hospitalization due to chemotherapy-induced myelosuppression, RBC and platelet transfusions, growth factor administration, and dose reductions and delays
- Progression Free Survival [ Time Frame: From date of randomization up to 14 months) ]To evaluate the effect of trilaciclib on progression-free survival (PFS) compared with placebo in patients receiving gemcitabine and carboplatin.
