- Partnership leverages Boehringer Ingelheims oncology expertise to lead trilaciclib SCLC launch sales engagements- G1 to retain full development and commercialization rights and book revenue for trilaciclib-New Drug Application (NDA) for trilaciclib submitted in June 2020
RESEARCH TRIANGLE PARK, N.C. and RIDGEFIELD, Conn., June 30, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- G1 Therapeutics, Inc. (Nasdaq: GTHX) and Boehringer Ingelheim today announced that the companies have entered into a co-promotion agreement for trilaciclib in the United States and Puerto Rico. Under the terms of the three-year agreement, G1 and Boehringer Ingelheim will collaborate on the commercialization of trilaciclib for its first potential indication in small cell lung cancer (SCLC), with the Boehringer Ingelheim oncology commercial team, well-established in lung cancer, leading sales force engagement initiatives. Discovered and developed by G1, trilaciclib is a first-in-class investigational therapy designed to improve outcomes for people with cancer treated with chemotherapy.
We believe that trilaciclib has the potential to benefit patients with cancer being treated with chemotherapy across a broad range of solid tumors, said Mark Velleca, M.D., Ph.D., Chief Executive Officer of G1. Our clinical trials of trilaciclib in small cell lung cancer have demonstrated significant myelopreservation benefits, and we are excited to collaborate with Boehringer Ingelheims experienced commercial oncology team to bring this innovative therapy to patients with SCLC. In addition, this capital efficient launch structure provides us with the ability to make investments in a robust development program to assess trilaciclib in other solid tumors, including colorectal cancer and breast cancer.
Under the terms of the agreement, G1 will book revenue in the United States and Puerto Rico and retain global development and commercialization rights to trilaciclib. In the U.S. and Puerto Rico, G1 will lead marketing, market access and medical engagement initiatives; Boehringer Ingelheim will lead sales force engagements. G1 will make initial payments to Boehringer Ingelheim to cover start-up expenses and pre-approval initiatives to support a successful commercial launch. G1 will pay a promotion fee of a mid-twenties percentage of net sales in the first year of commercialization, which decreases to a low double-digit/high single-digit percentage in the second and third years of commercialization, respectively (subject to certain adjustments for sales above pre-specified levels to reward out-performance). There are no payments due by either party beyond the expiration of the three-year term of the agreement. The agreement does not extend to additional indications that G1 may pursue for trilaciclib.
Boehringer Ingelheims commitment to transform treatment expectations for the oncology community extends beyond research and drives us to explore innovative solutions for patients. We are pleased to be collaborating with G1 Therapeutics and applying our commercial strengths focused on lung cancer to support a new therapy for patients with clear synergies across customer audiences, said Kelli Moran, Senior Vice President, Specialty Care, Boehringer Ingelheim. This strategic agreement builds on Boehringer Ingelheims achievements in oncology and contributes to our long-term vision to give patients new hopeby taking cancer on.
G1 received Breakthrough Therapy Designation for trilaciclib from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in 2019 and submitted a New Drug Application (NDA) in June 2020. More than 25,000 people in the U.S. and Puerto Rico are diagnosed with SCLC each year. Approximately 90% of SCLC patients receive first-line chemotherapy treatment, and approximately 60% of those patients receive subsequent second-line chemotherapy treatment. Chemotherapy is an effective and important weapon against cancer. However,chemotherapy does not differentiate between healthy cells and cancer cells and kills both. One of the most common side effects of chemotherapy is myelosuppression the result of damage to stem cells in the bone marrow that produce white blood cells, red blood cells and platelets. Myelosuppression often requires the administration of rescue interventions such as growth factors and blood or platelet transfusions, and may also result in chemotherapy dose delays and reductions. Immune cell damage may decrease the ability of the immune system to fight the cancer, as well as infection. Trilaciclib has the potential to be the first proactively administered myelopreservation therapy that can make chemotherapy safer and improve the patient experience.
Additional information regarding this agreement is disclosed in a Current Report on Form 8-K filed by G1 with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (available here).
About TrilaciclibTrilaciclib is a first-in-class investigational therapy designed to improve outcomes for people with cancer treated with chemotherapy. Trilaciclib has received Breakthrough Therapy Designation based on positive myelopreservation data from three randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trials in which trilaciclib was administered prior to chemotherapy treatment in patients with small cell lung cancer (SCLC). In a randomized trial of women with metastatic triple-negative breast cancer, trilaciclib improved overall survival when administered prior to chemotherapy. In June 2020, G1 submitted a New Drug Application (NDA) for trilaciclib for myelopreservation in SCLC and began a study in neoadjuvant breast cancer as part of the I-SPY 2 TRIAL. The company expects to initiate a Phase 3 trial in colorectal cancer in the fourth quarter of 2020.
