CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY SECTION.


12 CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY. 12.1 Mechanism of Action. Trilaciclib is transient inhibitor of CDK and 6. Hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPCs) in the bone marrow give rise to circulating neutrophils, RBCs, and platelets. HSPC proliferation is dependent on CDK4/6 activity.. 12.2 Pharmacodynamics. Bone MarrowTrilaciclib exhibited dose-dependent inhibition of CD45+/CD3+ lymphocyte proliferation following administration of single-dose COSELA 96 or 192 mg/m2 (0.4 or 0.8 times the approved recommended dose) in healthy subjects.Trilaciclib increased the percentage of cells arrested in G1 up to 32 hours post-infusion for all bone marrow progenitor subsets evaluated (hematopoietic stem cell/multipotent progenitor, oligopotent progenitor, monocyte lineage, granulocyte lineage, erythroid lineage, and megakaryocyte lineage) following single dose of COSELA 192 mg/m2 (0.8 times the approved recommended dose) in healthy subjects. Partial recovery of the total bone marrow with resumption of proliferation of the bone marrow progenitor subsets was observed by 32 hours post-dose. This transient G1 arrest of hematopoietic stem cells contributed to the myeloprotective effect of trilaciclib.. Cardiac ElectrophysiologyCOSELA is associated with dose-dependent and delayed increase in the QTc interval. The underlying mechanism of the delayed QT effect is unknown. At the clinical dose of 240 mg/m2, COSELA did not have clinically relevant effect on QTc (i.e., >10 msec). QTc prolongation was observed at higher doses.. 12.3 Pharmacokinetics. The maximum concentration (Cmax) increased proportionally whereas the total plasma exposure (AUC0-last) increased slightly greater than proportional over dosage range of trilaciclib 200 mg/m2 to 700 mg/m2 (0.83 to 2.9 times the approved recommended dose). There was no accumulation of trilaciclib following repeated dosing.. DistributionProtein binding of trilaciclib has not been fully characterized in vitro. The blood/plasma ratio ranged from 1.21 to 1.53 for trilaciclib across concentrations of 0.5 ug/mL to 50 ug/mL in vitro. The volume of distribution at steady state was 1130 L.. EliminationThe mean terminal half-life of trilaciclib is approximately 14 hours. Clearance was estimated to be 158 L/hr.. MetabolismTrilaciclib undergoes extensive metabolism. Trilaciclib is the predominant circulating compound in plasma following intravenous administration, representing ~50% of plasma total radioactivity.. ExcretionAfter single dose of radiolabeled trilaciclib 192 mg/m2 (0.8 times the approved recommended dosage), approximately 79.1% of the dose was recovered in feces (7% unchanged) and 14% was recovered in urine (2% unchanged).Trilaciclib is eliminated mainly via the fecal route, with small contribution of the renal route.. Specific PopulationsNo clinically significant differences in the pharmacokinetics of trilaciclib were observed based on age (range: 19 to 80 years), sex, race, mild to moderate renal impairment (30 to 89 mL/min/1.73 m2 measured by estimated glomerular filtration rate [eGFR]), or mild hepatic impairment (total bilirubin <=ULN and AST >ULN, or total bilirubin >1.0 to 1.5 ULN, irrespective of AST). The effect of severe renal impairment (<30 mL/min/1.73 m2), end stage renal disease or dialysis, or moderate or severe hepatic impairment (total bilirubin >1.5 ULN and any AST) on trilaciclib pharmacokinetics has not been studied.. Drug Interaction Studies. Clinical Studies. Cytochrome P450 (CYP) Enzymes: There were no clinically significant differences in trilaciclib pharmacokinetics when used concomitantly with itraconazole (strong CYP3A inhibitor) or rifampin (strong CYP3A inducer). There were no clinically significant differences in midazolam (CYP3A substrate) pharmacokinetics when used concomitantly with trilaciclib.. Transporter Systems: Concomitant use of trilaciclib increased metformin (OCT2, MATE1, and MATE-2K substrate) AUCinf and Cmax by approximately 65% and 81%, respectively. Renal clearance of metformin was decreased by 37%. There were no clinically significant differences in topotecan (MATE1 and MATE-2K substrate) pharmacokinetics when used concomitantly with trilaciclib.. In Vitro Studies. CYP Enzymes: Trilaciclib did not inhibit CYP1A2, CYP2B6, CYP2C8, CYP2C9, CYP2C19, or CYP2D6. Trilaciclib is an inducer for CYP1A2, and is not an inducer for CYP2B6 or CYP3A4.. Transporter Systems: Trilaciclib did not inhibit P-glycoprotein (P-gp), breast cancer resistance protein (BCRP), organic anion transporting polypeptide 1B1 (OATP1B1), OATP1B3, OAT1, or OAT3. Trilaciclib was substrate of BCRP and P-gp, but not bile salt export pump (BSEP), MATE1, MATE-2K, or OCT.

CLINICAL STUDIES SECTION.


14 CLINICAL STUDIES. The efficacy of COSELA was established in three randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trials in patients with extensive stage-small cell lung cancer (ES-SCLC). Study (G1T28-05; NCT03041311) enrolled adult patients receiving carboplatin, etoposide, and atezolizumab for newly diagnosed ES-SCLC. Study (G1T28-02; NCT02499770) enrolled adult patients receiving etoposide/carboplatin for newly diagnosed ES-SCLC. Study (G1T28-03; NCT02514447) enrolled adult patients receiving topotecan for previously treated ES-SCLC.During Cycle 1, all three studies prohibited primary prophylactic granulocyte-colony stimulating factor (G-CSF) and erythropoiesis-stimulating agent (ESA) use. Both ESAs and prophylactic G-CSF were allowed from Cycle onwards as clinically indicated. Therapeutic G-CSF, RBC, and platelet transfusions were allowed at any time during the studies as clinically indicated.. Study 1: COSELA Prior to Etoposide, Carboplatin, and Atezolizumab (E/P/A). Patients with newly diagnosed ES-SCLC not previously treated with chemotherapyStudy (G1T28-05) was randomized (1:1), double-blind, placebo-controlled study of COSELA or placebo administered prior to treatment with etoposide, carboplatin, and atezolizumab (E/P/A) for patients with newly diagnosed ES-SCLC not previously treated with chemotherapy.A total of 107 patients were randomized to receive COSELA (n=54) or placebo (n=53) prior to administration of E/P/A; patients were stratified by Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status (0 to vs 2) and the presence of brain metastases. Carboplatin (AUC 5) and atezolizumab (1200 mg) were administered on Day and etoposide (100 mg/m2) and COSELA (240 mg/m2) or placebo were administered on Days 1, 2, and of 21-day cycle for maximum of cycles (induction). After induction, maintenance atezolizumab (1200 mg) monotherapy on Day of 21-day cycle continued until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. COSELA was not administered during maintenance.The study population characteristics were: median age 64 years (range: 45 to 83); 70% male; 97% white; 14% ECOG performance status 2; 28% with history of brain metastases; 38% current smokers; 46% lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) >ULN.The mean relative dose intensities (RDIs) for E/P/A in patients receiving COSELA were 93%, 95%, and 93%, respectively. The mean RDIs for E/P/A in patients receiving placebo were 88%, 89%, and 91%, respectively. Dose reductions of carboplatin occurred in 2% of patients receiving COSELA and in 25% of patients receiving placebo; dose reductions of etoposide occurred in 6% of patients receiving COSELA and in 26% of patients receiving placebo. No dose reduction was allowed for COSELA or atezolizumab.The study demonstrated statistically significantly shorter duration of severe neutropenia (DSN) in Cycle (0 vs days) and lower proportion of patients with severe neutropenia (SN) (2% vs 49%) in patients receiving COSELA compared with placebo (Table 5). Nineteen percent of patients receiving COSELA had Grade or decreased hemoglobin compared with 28% of patients receiving placebo (adjusted relative risk 0.663 [95% CI: 0.336, 1.310]). The rate of RBC transfusions over time was 1.7/100 weeks for patients receiving COSELA and 2.6/100 weeks for patients receiving placebo (adjusted relative risk was not estimable). Six percent of patients receiving COSELA received erythropoiesis-stimulating agents (ESAs) compared with 11% of patients receiving placebo (adjusted relative risk 0.529 [95% CI: 0.145, 1.927]).Table 5: Study 1: Myeloprotective Efficacy Results in Patients Treated with COSELA or Placebo Prior to Chemotherapy (Intent-to-Treat Analysis)EndpointCOSELA 240 mg/m2 (N=54)Placebo(N=53)Treatment Effecta(Mean Difference or Adjusted Relative Risk)(95% CI)Adjusted 1-sided p-valuebANCOVA=analysis of covariance; CI=confidence interval; DSN=duration of severe neutropenia; G-CSF=granulocyte colony-stimulating factor; N=total number of patients in each treatment group; RBC=red blood cell; SD=standard deviationa The following statistical models were used to assess treatment effects: non-parametric ANCOVA (DSN in Cycle 1); modified Poisson regression (occurrence of SN and RBC transfusion on/after weeks); negative binomial regression (number of all-cause dose reductions).

DRUG INTERACTIONS SECTION.


7 DRUG INTERACTIONS. Certain OCT2, MATE1, and MATE-2K substrates: Avoid concomitant use with certain OCT2, MATE1, and MATE-2K substrates where minimal concentration changes may lead to serious or life-threatening toxicities. (7.1). 7.1 Effect of COSELA on Other Drugs, Certain OCT2, MATE1, and MATE-2K Substrates. COSELA is an inhibitor of OCT2, MATE1, and MATE-2K. Co-administration of COSELA may increase the concentration or net accumulation of OCT2, MATE1, and MATE-2K substrates in the kidney (e.g., dofetilide, dalfampridine, and cisplatin) [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3)]. Refer to the prescribing information for these concomitant medications for assessing the benefit and risk of concomitant use of COSELA.Table 4: Potentially Significant Drug Interactions with COSELADrugsRecommendationsCommentsDofetilideThe potential benefits of taking COSELA concurrently with dofetilide should be considered against the risk of QT interval prolongation.Increased dofetilide blood levels may occur in patients who are also receiving COSELA. Increased plasma concentrations of dofetilide may cause serious ventricular arrhythmias associated with QT interval prolongation, including torsade de pointes.DalfampridineThe potential benefits of taking COSELA concurrently with dalfampridine should be considered against the risk of seizures in these patients.Increased dalfampridine blood levels may occur in patients who are also receiving COSELA. Elevated levels of dalfampridine increase the risk of seizure.CisplatinClosely monitor for nephrotoxicity.Concurrent treatment with COSELA may increase the exposure and alter the net accumulation of cisplatin in the kidney, which may associate with dose-related nephrotoxicity.

LACTATION SECTION.


8.2 Lactation. Risk SummaryThere are no data on the presence of trilaciclib in either human or animal milk, the effects on the breastfed child or the effects on milk production. Because of the potential for serious adverse reactions in breastfed children, advise lactating women to not breastfeed while taking COSELA and for at least weeks after the last dose.

MECHANISM OF ACTION SECTION.


12.1 Mechanism of Action. Trilaciclib is transient inhibitor of CDK and 6. Hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPCs) in the bone marrow give rise to circulating neutrophils, RBCs, and platelets. HSPC proliferation is dependent on CDK4/6 activity.

NONCLINICAL TOXICOLOGY SECTION.


13 NONCLINICAL TOXICOLOGY. 13.1 Carcinogenesis, Mutagenesis, Impairment of Fertility. Carcinogenesis studies have not been conducted with trilaciclib.Trilaciclib was negative for mutagenic potential in bacterial reverse mutation (Ames) assay and negative for clastogenic potential in an in vitro histone H2AX phosphorylation assay in primary human fibroblasts. Trilaciclib increased the frequency of micronucleus formation in human lymphocytes in vitro. Clastogenic potential of trilaciclib was not assessed in vivo.Fertility studies have not been performed to evaluate the effects of trilaciclib. Treatment with trilaciclib in female rats and dogs resulted in reductions in mean ovary and uterus weights at clinically relevant exposures, which were reversible after two-week drug-free recovery period.

PHARMACODYNAMICS SECTION.


12.2 Pharmacodynamics. Bone MarrowTrilaciclib exhibited dose-dependent inhibition of CD45+/CD3+ lymphocyte proliferation following administration of single-dose COSELA 96 or 192 mg/m2 (0.4 or 0.8 times the approved recommended dose) in healthy subjects.Trilaciclib increased the percentage of cells arrested in G1 up to 32 hours post-infusion for all bone marrow progenitor subsets evaluated (hematopoietic stem cell/multipotent progenitor, oligopotent progenitor, monocyte lineage, granulocyte lineage, erythroid lineage, and megakaryocyte lineage) following single dose of COSELA 192 mg/m2 (0.8 times the approved recommended dose) in healthy subjects. Partial recovery of the total bone marrow with resumption of proliferation of the bone marrow progenitor subsets was observed by 32 hours post-dose. This transient G1 arrest of hematopoietic stem cells contributed to the myeloprotective effect of trilaciclib.. Cardiac ElectrophysiologyCOSELA is associated with dose-dependent and delayed increase in the QTc interval. The underlying mechanism of the delayed QT effect is unknown. At the clinical dose of 240 mg/m2, COSELA did not have clinically relevant effect on QTc (i.e., >10 msec). QTc prolongation was observed at higher doses.

PHARMACOKINETICS SECTION.


12.3 Pharmacokinetics. The maximum concentration (Cmax) increased proportionally whereas the total plasma exposure (AUC0-last) increased slightly greater than proportional over dosage range of trilaciclib 200 mg/m2 to 700 mg/m2 (0.83 to 2.9 times the approved recommended dose). There was no accumulation of trilaciclib following repeated dosing.. DistributionProtein binding of trilaciclib has not been fully characterized in vitro. The blood/plasma ratio ranged from 1.21 to 1.53 for trilaciclib across concentrations of 0.5 ug/mL to 50 ug/mL in vitro. The volume of distribution at steady state was 1130 L.. EliminationThe mean terminal half-life of trilaciclib is approximately 14 hours. Clearance was estimated to be 158 L/hr.. MetabolismTrilaciclib undergoes extensive metabolism. Trilaciclib is the predominant circulating compound in plasma following intravenous administration, representing ~50% of plasma total radioactivity.. ExcretionAfter single dose of radiolabeled trilaciclib 192 mg/m2 (0.8 times the approved recommended dosage), approximately 79.1% of the dose was recovered in feces (7% unchanged) and 14% was recovered in urine (2% unchanged).Trilaciclib is eliminated mainly via the fecal route, with small contribution of the renal route.. Specific PopulationsNo clinically significant differences in the pharmacokinetics of trilaciclib were observed based on age (range: 19 to 80 years), sex, race, mild to moderate renal impairment (30 to 89 mL/min/1.73 m2 measured by estimated glomerular filtration rate [eGFR]), or mild hepatic impairment (total bilirubin <=ULN and AST >ULN, or total bilirubin >1.0 to 1.5 ULN, irrespective of AST). The effect of severe renal impairment (<30 mL/min/1.73 m2), end stage renal disease or dialysis, or moderate or severe hepatic impairment (total bilirubin >1.5 ULN and any AST) on trilaciclib pharmacokinetics has not been studied.. Drug Interaction Studies. Clinical Studies. Cytochrome P450 (CYP) Enzymes: There were no clinically significant differences in trilaciclib pharmacokinetics when used concomitantly with itraconazole (strong CYP3A inhibitor) or rifampin (strong CYP3A inducer). There were no clinically significant differences in midazolam (CYP3A substrate) pharmacokinetics when used concomitantly with trilaciclib.. Transporter Systems: Concomitant use of trilaciclib increased metformin (OCT2, MATE1, and MATE-2K substrate) AUCinf and Cmax by approximately 65% and 81%, respectively. Renal clearance of metformin was decreased by 37%. There were no clinically significant differences in topotecan (MATE1 and MATE-2K substrate) pharmacokinetics when used concomitantly with trilaciclib.. In Vitro Studies. CYP Enzymes: Trilaciclib did not inhibit CYP1A2, CYP2B6, CYP2C8, CYP2C9, CYP2C19, or CYP2D6. Trilaciclib is an inducer for CYP1A2, and is not an inducer for CYP2B6 or CYP3A4.. Transporter Systems: Trilaciclib did not inhibit P-glycoprotein (P-gp), breast cancer resistance protein (BCRP), organic anion transporting polypeptide 1B1 (OATP1B1), OATP1B3, OAT1, or OAT3. Trilaciclib was substrate of BCRP and P-gp, but not bile salt export pump (BSEP), MATE1, MATE-2K, or OCT.
