Trilaciclib plus docetaxel for second-line or later advanced non-small cell lung cancer
Official title: Phase II Clinical Trial of Trilaciclib in Combination With Docetaxel for Second-Line and Beyond Treatment of Locally Advanced or Metastatic Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer
Run by The First Affiliated Hospital of Xiamen University · NCT06929936 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This test gives trilaciclib before docetaxel to see if it protects bone marrow and reduces low blood counts in people with advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer receiving second-line or later chemotherapy.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Adults (≥18) with stage IV NSCLC who have progressed after at least one prior standard regimen (chemotherapy plus immunotherapy for driver‑negative disease or chemotherapy after failed targeted therapy for driver‑positive disease), with at least one measurable lesion and adequate blood counts and organ function are the intended participants.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with disease controlled by ongoing targeted therapy, those with inadequate baseline blood counts or organ dysfunction, or those who cannot receive docetaxel are unlikely to benefit from this regimen.
A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.
What this trial studies
This is a prospective, single-arm phase II trial enrolling 33 patients with locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC who have progressed after at least one prior systemic regimen. Participants receive trilaciclib prior to docetaxel for up to four treatment cycles, with serial monitoring of whole blood counts and hematologic adverse events. The study tracks febrile neutropenia, infections, blood product transfusions, and need for hematopoietic support, and performs tumor assessments by RECIST 1.1 every six weeks. Patients who stop study drug for toxicity continue imaging follow-up until progression, withdrawal, or death.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, patients may experience fewer chemotherapy-related low blood counts, infections, transfusions, and treatment delays.
How similar studies have gone: Trilaciclib has demonstrated bone marrow protective effects in prior trials, particularly in small‑cell lung cancer, but randomized and robust evidence in NSCLC is limited.
