Small Cell Lung Cancer (SCLC)

Treatment with trilaciclib prior to chemotherapy was found to significantly reduce the need for supportive care interventions in the management of severe neutropenia and grade 3/4 anemia induced by chemotherapy in patients with extensive-stage small cell lung cancer, compared with placebo.

The FDA granted priority review to the new drug application for trilaciclib for patients with small cell lung cancer being treated with chemotherapy.

The FDA approved lurbinectedin for the treatment of adult patients with metastatic small cell lung cancer under accelerated approval based on overall response rate and duration of response in a phase 2 study.

A study, published in Nature Cancer, demonstrates the quick and evolving revolutions of resistance mechanisms in small cell lung cancer.
