Bladder cancer trial halted: could trilaciclib have saved bone marrow?
NCT ID NCT04887831
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026
Summary
This phase 2 trial tested whether adding trilaciclib (Cosela) to standard chemotherapy and avelumab could help people with advanced bladder cancer by protecting their bone marrow. The study enrolled 92 adults with untreated, locally advanced or metastatic urothelial carcinoma. Unfortunately, the trial was terminated early, so we don't have complete data on whether trilaciclib improved outcomes.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
Trilaciclib (Cosela) given with chemotherapy (gemcitabine plus cisplatin or carboplatin) and avelumab (Bavencio) maintenance therapy
What this could lead to
If it worked, trilaciclib might help protect bone marrow during chemotherapy, potentially allowing more effective cancer treatment with fewer side effects.
What could go wrong
This trial was terminated early, so we don't have full results. It's a phase 2 study, meaning it's still early and may not lead to a new standard treatment.
