Trilaciclib in Patients Receiving Sacituzumab Tirumotecan for EGFR-mutated, Advanced Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) (NCT06992739) is a Phase 2 interventional studying NSCLC (Advanced Non-small Cell Lung Cancer) and EGFR, sponsored by The First Affiliated Hospital of Xiamen University. RECRUITING as of the most recent ClinicalTrials.gov update. Talk to your doctor before contacting the trial site.
About This Trial
This study is a prospective, single arm phase II clinical trial aimed at patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer resistant to EGFR-TKI. The aim is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of trilaciclib in bone marrow protection before monotherapy with sacituzumab tirumotecan. Patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer resistant to EGFR-TKI, after signing informed consent, will be screened for eligible subjects who meet the inclusion criteria. Prior to receiving treatment with sacituzumab tirumotecan, they will be treated with trilaciclib until disease progression or intolerable toxicity occurs. Record the dynamic changes of whole blood cell count; Hematological toxicity, including febrile neutropenia and associated infections; Transfusion of blood products and supplementation of hematopoietic raw materials. Perform tumor imaging evaluation according to RECIST 1.1. Baseline imaging examination should be conducted within 21 days prior to the first administration, and tumor imaging evaluation shall be conducted every 6 weeks (± 7 days) from the first study drug administration, or the frequency of imaging evaluation may be increased when there are clinical indications. Subjects who terminate the study drug treatment due to intolerable toxicity or other non disease progression reasons continue to receive tumor evaluation follow-up until disease progression, withdrawal from the study, or death (whichever occurs earliest). After the screening period and one cycle of treatment, subjects may choose to undergo whole-body PET/CT imaging for exploratory analysis.
What Stage of Research Is This?
Phase 2 trials evaluate whether a treatment actually works against NSCLC (Advanced Non-small Cell Lung Cancer) and continue monitoring side effects. Phase 2 enrolls larger groups (typically 100–300 patients) and produces the first real efficacy signal. A successful Phase 2 readout is what unlocks the much larger Phase 3 confirmatory trials needed for FDA approval.
This trial is currently recruiting participants. The sponsor has registered the study with ClinicalTrials.gov as actively enrolling, which means new applicants who meet the eligibility criteria can be considered for screening. Trial status can change between updates — confirm current recruiting status with the study contact before traveling for a screening visit.
With a target enrollment of 49 participants, this is a small study — typical of early-phase research, rare-disease trials, or pilot studies designed to generate preliminary signal before a larger study is launched.

Who can participate in NCT06992739?
Eligibility for this trial depends on the specific inclusion and exclusion criteria set by the sponsor. The plain-English summary above translates the most important criteria into accessible language; the official clinical text is preserved in the collapsible section underneath. Whether you fit any specific trial is a medical decision your doctor needs to confirm — bring the trial information to your treating physician for a full review against your medical history.
How do I contact the trial site for NCT06992739?
Contact information for this trial may be available directly on the ClinicalTrials.gov record. Click "View on ClinicalTrials.gov" in the sidebar for the official source. Always discuss any potential trial with your doctor before contacting the study site.
Is participating in a clinical trial safe?
Clinical trials in the United States are regulated by the FDA and overseen by Institutional Review Boards (IRBs) that review the protocol for safety. Risk varies by trial — Phase 1 studies test new treatments in humans for the first time, while Phase 3 trials use treatments that have already passed earlier safety screening. The informed consent document for any specific trial details the known risks and what to expect. Discuss those risks with your physician before deciding whether to participate.
