Background: In metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC), improvements in survival from combining leucovorin/fluorouracil/oxaliplatin/ irinotecan (FOLFOXIRI) with bevacizumab have come at the risk of increased rates of high-grade toxicities. Trilaciclib is indicated to decrease the incidence of chemotherapy-induced myelosuppression in patients receiving standard-of-care chemotherapy for extensive-stage small cell lung cancer. Methods: Patients with untreated mCRC were randomly assigned 1:1 to trilaciclib (n ¼ 164) or placebo (n ¼ 162) prior to FOLFOXIRI/ bevacizumab for up to 12 cycles (induction), followed by trilaciclib or placebo prior to fluorouracil/leucovorin/bevacizumab (maintenance). Co-primary endpoints were duration of severe (grade 4) neutropenia (DSN) in cycles 1-4 and occurrence of severe neutropenia (SN) during induction. Secondary endpoints included antitumor efficacy, survival, and safety. Results: The study met its co-primary endpoints. Administering trilaciclib prior to FOLFOXIRI/bevacizumab resulted in significant reductions in DSN in cycles 1-4 vs placebo (mean, 0.1 vs 1.3 days; P < .001) and occurrence of SN during induction (1.3% vs 19.7%; adjusted relative risk [96% CI] ¼ 0.07 [0.0 to 0.3]; P < .001). Grade 3/4 adverse events, including neutropenia, diarrhea, and leukopenia, were less frequent with trilaciclib vs placebo (64.8% vs 73.1%). Trilaciclib was associated with fewer chemotherapy dose reductions and delays and with reduced administration of supportive therapies, compared with placebo. Objective response rate (41.6% vs 57.1%; P ¼ .009) and median progression-free survival (10.3 vs 13.1 months; P < .001) were significantly lower with trilaciclib vs placebo. Conclusions: Administering trilaciclib prior to FOLFOXIRI/bevacizumab protected the neutrophil lineage from the effects of chemotherapy-induced myelosuppression. However, antitumor efficacy endpoints favored placebo. Trial registration: ClinicalTrials.gov: NCT04607668.

Abstract
Background: In metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC), improvements in survival from combining leucovorin/fluorouracil/oxaliplatin/ irinotecan (FOLFOXIRI) with bevacizumab have come at the risk of increased rates of high-grade toxicities. Trilaciclib is indicated to decrease the incidence of chemotherapy-induced myelosuppression in patients receiving standard-of-care chemotherapy for extensive-stage small cell lung cancer. Methods: Patients with untreated mCRC were randomly assigned 1:1 to trilaciclib (n ¼ 164) or placebo (n ¼ 162) prior to FOLFOXIRI/ bevacizumab for up to 12 cycles (induction), followed by trilaciclib or placebo prior to fluorouracil/leucovorin/bevacizumab (maintenance). Co-primary endpoints were duration of severe (grade 4) neutropenia (DSN) in cycles 1-4 and occurrence of severe neutropenia (SN) during induction. Secondary endpoints included antitumor efficacy, survival, and safety. Results: The study met its co-primary endpoints. Administering trilaciclib prior to FOLFOXIRI/bevacizumab resulted in significant reductions in DSN in cycles 1-4 vs placebo (mean, 0.1 vs 1.3 days; P < .001) and occurrence of SN during induction (1.3% vs 19.7%; adjusted relative risk [96% CI] ¼ 0.07 [0.0 to 0.3]; P < .001).
