RESEARCH TRIANGLE PARK, N.C., Feb. 28, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- G1 Therapeutics, Inc. (Nasdaq: GTHX), a clinical-stage oncology company, today reported financial results for the fourth quarter and full-year ended December 31, 2018. The company also highlighted 2018 operational results and upcoming 2019 milestones.
“Data from four randomized Phase 2 trials showed the benefits of trilaciclib across different indications, lines of therapy and chemotherapy regimens,” said Raj Malik, M.D., Chief Medical Officer and Senior Vice President, R&D. “We have scheduled meetings with U.S. and European regulatory authorities in the first half of 2019 to discuss the totality of data and next steps for the development of trilaciclib. We will provide an update on these meetings in the second quarter.”
“We made substantial progress across our three clinical-stage product candidates in 2018. We reported positive results from all four Phase 2 trilaciclib trials, presented proof-of-concept data on lerociclib in breast cancer, initiated a trial of lerociclib in non-small cell lung cancer, and brought our oral selective estrogen receptor degrader G1T48 into the clinic,” said Mark Velleca, M.D., Ph.D., Chief Executive Officer. “These accomplishments will drive a number of important clinical and regulatory milestones in 2019 in the advancement of our pipeline.”
