Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Ideal candidates are adults aged 18 and older with a pathological diagnosis of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma who cannot undergo surgical treatment.

Probably not a fit

Patients with a history of other malignant tumors or those unable to provide sufficient clinical information may not benefit from this study.

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This study collects clinical data from patients with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma undergoing concurrent chemoradiotherapy. Patients are divided into two groups: one receiving trilaciclib before chemotherapy and a control group not receiving it. The study employs propensity score matching to ensure balanced baseline characteristics between the groups, allowing for a fair comparison of bone marrow suppression rates and other adverse events. This is the first investigation into the efficacy and safety of trilaciclib for this purpose in esophageal cancer.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this approach could significantly reduce the incidence of myelosuppression in patients undergoing treatment for esophageal cancer.

How similar studies have gone: While this specific application of trilaciclib is novel, similar studies have shown promise in using CDK4/6 inhibitors for myeloprotection in other contexts.
