What is Cosela

Trilaciclib

The Generic name of this drug

Treatment Summary

Trilaciclib (G1T28) is a medication used to reduce the risk of chemotherapy-induced myelosuppression (lowered blood cell counts) in patients undergoing certain types of chemotherapy for extensive stage small cell lung cancer. This medication works by inhibiting two specific proteins, CDK4 and CDK6, which are known to be involved in tumor growth and the effectiveness of chemotherapy. Trilaciclib was first introduced in 2016 and was approved by the FDA in 2021.

Effectiveness

How Cosela Affects Patients

Trilaciclib is used to reduce the risk of low blood cell counts caused by certain types of chemotherapy. It is effective for about 16 hours, and must be taken carefully because it has a very narrow therapeutic window. Patients should be aware that taking this drug can cause injection site reactions, hypersensitivity, and lung disease.

How Cosela works in the body

Trilaciclib is a drug that can help protect healthy cells from chemotherapy. It works by blocking two proteins called CDK4 and CDK5. These proteins can cause the cell cycle to pause, giving the healthy cells time to repair any damage caused by chemotherapy. It also helps boost the effectiveness of certain cancer treatments that use the immune system, by helping T-cells recognize and attack cancer cells.

Is Cosela FDA approved?

"On February 12th, 2021, the FDA approved trilaciclib (Cosela, G1 Therapeutics) to lower the rate of chemotherapy-induced myelosuppression (CIM) in adult patients with extensive-stage small-cell lung cancer (ES-SCLC) receiving platinum/etoposide-containing or topotecan-containing first-line therapy."

Answered by AI

Is Cosela chemotherapy?

"Trilaciclib is given before chemotherapy to help reduce the number of low blood cell counts caused by damage to bone marrow from chemotherapy."

Answered by AI

What is chemotherapy-induced myelosuppression?

"Myelosuppression is a suppression of bone marrow activity which results in a decreased production of blood cells. This is a common side effect of chemotherapy, and can range from mild to severe."

Answered by AI

What is Cosela used for?

"COSELA is a prescription medication that helps to reduce the occurrence of low blood cell counts that are caused by damage to bone marrow from chemotherapy. COSELA is typically used to treat adults who are taking certain chemotherapies, such as platinum/etoposide or topotecan, for extensive-stage small cell lung cancer."

Tarlatamab + Sacituzumab Govitecan for Small Cell Lung Cancer

18 - 120
All Sexes
Bethesda, MD

Background: Small-cell lung cancer (SCLC) is the most deadly form of lung cancer. It kills at least 250,000 worldwide each year. Extra-pulmonary neuroendocrine cancer (EP-NEC) is a similar type of cancer that develops anywhere other than the lungs. EP-NEC is also very aggressive. Better treatments are needed for these cancers. Objective: To test 2 drugs (tarlatamab combined with sacituzumab govitecan \[SG\]) in people with SCLC or EP-NEC. Eligibility: People aged 18 years and older with SCLC or EP-NEC that either did not respond to or returned after treatment. Design: Participants will be screened with a physical exam, blood tests, heart function testing, and imaging scans. Both study drugs are given intravenously (through a needle in the arm). Participants will receive a small starter dose of tarlatamab (1 mg) 2 weeks before beginning regular treatment, followed by the full dose (10 mg) one week later. Treatment then follows a repeating 4-week cycle: tarlatamab (10 mg) on days 1 and 15, and sacituzumab govitecan (7.5 or 10 mg/kg) on days 1 and 8. Treatment continues for up to 2 years, unless the cancer worsens, the participant passes away, or side effects become too severe. Participants will have regular check-ups including physical exams, blood tests, and imaging scans to monitor safety and treatment response. Blood and tumor samples will be collected for research purposes. After stopping treatment, participants will return for a safety check at 30 days, then be contacted every 3 months to check on their health and survival. Those who stop treatment for reasons other than cancer progression will continue CT scans every 6 weeks until their disease progresses.

Serplulimab + Chemotherapy for Small Cell Lung Cancer

18 - No maximum age
All Sexes
Orange City, FL

This trial is testing two different treatment combinations for patients with extensive-stage small cell lung cancer who have not received any prior treatment. One group will receive a new drug called Serplulimab along with standard chemotherapy, while the other group will receive an existing drug called Atezolizumab with the same chemotherapy. Both immunotherapy drugs aim to help the immune system fight cancer, and the chemotherapy drugs work by killing cancer cells. Atezolizumab has been shown to improve survival in small-cell lung cancer when combined with chemotherapy, changing the standard first-line therapy.
