First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This Phase 2 trial tests whether adding trilaciclib to the chemotherapy drug lurbinectedin can reduce severe neutropenia (a dangerous drop in white blood cells) in people with small cell lung cancer that has spread. About 30 participants will receive both drugs intravenously. The study focuses on safety and how well the combination works.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance

trilaciclib and lurbinectedin

What this could lead to

If successful, this combination could reduce dangerous side effects (severe neutropenia) from chemotherapy and improve treatment tolerance for small cell lung cancer patients.

What could go wrong

This is a small Phase 2 trial with only 30 participants, so results may not apply broadly. The drugs may still cause significant side effects or fail to improve outcomes.
