Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Use dmy dates Шаблон:Infobox company G1 Therapeutics, Inc. is an American biopharmaceutical company headquartered in Research Triangle Park, North Carolina. The company specializes in developing and commercializing small molecule therapeutics for the treatment of patients with cancer.

History

G1 Therapeutics was co-founded in 2008 by Norman Sharpless, 15th Director of the National Cancer Institute, and Kwok-Kin Wong, to develop and commercialize drug candidates discovered at, and licensed from, Sharpless’ lab at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Early investors in G1 included Hatteras Venture Partners, and Fred Eshelman, founder of PPD, Inc. Other early investors included AstraZeneca’s venture capital fund MedImmune Ventures, and Cormorant Asset Management.

G1 went public on May 17, 2017 and trades on the NASDAQ under the ticker symbol GTHX. On September 30, 2020, the company announced CEO, Mark Velleca, will be stepping down on January 1, 2021, and is to be replaced by Jack Bailey, former President of U.S. pharmaceuticals and vaccines for GlaxoSmithKline.

Pipeline

Trilaciclib – G1T28

Trilaciclib, a small molecule CDK4/6 inhibitor, is a first-in-class, FDA-designated Breakthrough therapy designed to improve outcomes for cancer patients being treated with chemotherapy. The drug's first targeted indication is small cell lung cancer (SCLC). Patients receiving chemotherapy as part of SCLC treatment frequently experience chemotherapy-induced myelosuppression. In three randomized, placebo-controlled SCLC trials, trilaciclib, when administered to patients before chemotherapy, significantly reduced the occurrence of chemotherapy-induced myelosuppression and the need for supportive care. In June 2020, G1 filed a New Drug Application (NDA) with the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The application was granted Priority Review with a Prescription Drug User Fee Act (PDUFA) date set for February 15, 2021. In September 2020, G1 launched an expanded access program providing SCLC patients access to trilaciclib while the drug is under FDA review. The FDA approved trilaciclib for use in SCLC on February 12, 2021. In March 2021, trilaciclib was added to the National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) Clinical Practice Guidelines in Oncology (NCCN Guidelines) as an appropriate prophylactic option to decrease the incidence of chemotherapy-induced myelosuppression for patients undergoing chemotherapy for extensive-stage small-cell lung cancer.

Trilaciclib is one of several novel agents under review for breast cancer treatment as part of the I-SPY series of clinical trials organized by Quantum Leap Healthcare Collaborative.

In October 2020, G1 initiated a Phase 3 registrational study (NCT04607668 - PRESERVE 1) evaluating the impact of trilaciclib on myelopreservation and antitumor efficacy in patients receiving chemotherapy for metastatic colorectal cancer. In March 2021, the company initiated a Phase 3 registrational study (NCT04799249 - PRESERVE 2) evaluating trilaciclib in patients receiving first- or second-line gemcitabine and carboplatin chemotherapy for locally advanced, unresectable, or metastatic triple-negative breast cancer. In April 2021, G1 initiated a Phase 2 study (NCT04863248 – PRESERVE 4) evaluating trilaciclib in patients with metastatic non-small cell lung cancer who are receiving the chemotherapy agent docetaxel. In May 2021, G1 initiated a Phase 2 study (NCT04887831 – PRESERVE 3) evaluating trilaciclib in patients with metastatic bladder cancer who are receiving chemotherapy followed by avelumab.

Rintodestrant – G1T48

Rintodestrant, an oral selective estrogen receptor degrader (SERD), is being developed as a treatment for ER-Positive, HER2-Negative advanced breast cancer, both as monotherapy and in combination with palbociclib, a CDK 4/6 inhibitor marketed by Pfizer as Ibrance.

Lerociclib – G1T38

Lerociclib is a potent, selective oral CDK4/6 inhibitor. Preclinical and early clinical data have demonstrated that lerociclib is differentiated from other CDK4/6 inhibitors based on its favorable safety profile and ability to be dosed continuously with less dose-limiting neutropenia.

Products

Cosela: On February 12, 2021, the FDA approved trilaciclib (brand name Cosela) as a treatment to reduce the frequency of chemotherapy-induced myelosuppression for patients receiving certain types of chemotherapy for extensive-stage small-cell lung cancer.

Collaborations

• In June 2020, G1 entered into a commercialization agreement with Boehringer Ingelheim to co-promote trilaciclib for SCLC in the United States and Puerto Rico.
• In August 2020, Simcere Pharmaceuticals licensed the development and commercialization rights to trilaciclib for greater China.
• G1 has a non-exclusive clinical supply agreement with Pfizer to provide palbociclib for its rintodestrant/palbociclib breast cancer trial.
• In July 2020, G1 entered into a licensing agreement for lerociclib with EQRx. The license provides exclusive rights to develop the drug for the USA, Europe, Japan, and other global markets, excluding the Asia-Pacific region (except Japan).
• In June 2020, G1 licensed the rights to develop lerociclib in the Asia-Pacific region to Genor Biopharma.
• In August 2020, G1 licensed the rights to its preclinical CDK2 inhibitor program to ARC Therapeutics.
