What is Cosela?

Cosela is an FDA (U.S. Food and Drug Administration) approved medication manufactured by G1 Therapeutics, Inc. It is a kinase inhibitor used to decrease the incidence of chemotherapy-induced myelosuppression (decreased bone marrow activity) in adult patients when given prior to a platinum/etoposide-containing regimen or topotecan-containing regimen for extensive-stage small cell lung cancer (ES-SCLC).

What doses of Cosela are available?

Cosela is available in injection form, in the following doses: 300 mg of trilaciclib as a lyophilized cake in a single-dose vial.

The recommended dose is 240 mg/m2 as a 30-minute intravenous infusion completed within 4 hours, before the start of chemotherapy on each day of chemotherapy. See the full prescribing information for instructions on administration.

Always speak with your healthcare provider about any changes to your dose so they can monitor and evaluate your condition.

Cosela active ingredients

The active ingredient of Cosela is trilaciclib. It is the first and only FDA-approved treatment to provide myeloprotective efficacy and helps protect against myelosuppression, while chemotherapy targets cancer cells.

Cosela’s approval is based on data from three randomized, placebo-controlled trials that showed patients receiving Cosela prior to the start of chemotherapy had a clinically meaningful and statistically significant reduction in the duration and severity of neutropenia. Results also showed a positive impact on red blood cell transfusions and other myeloprotective measures. The trials evaluated Cosela in combination with carboplatin/etoposide (+/- the immunotherapy atezolizumab) and topotecan chemotherapy regimens.

Cosela side effects

The most common adverse reactions of Cosela in clinical trials compared to placebo include:

  • Fatigue, myositis
  • Hypocalcemia, anemia, hypokalemia, hypophosphatemia
  • Increased aspartate aminotransferase
  • Headache, increased risk of pneumonia
  • Thrombocytopenia (low blood platelets)
  • Cerebrovascular accident
  • Thrombosis, ischemic stroke
  • Infusion-related reaction
  • Respiratory failure

In rare instances, Cosela can cause more serious side effects. These can include:

  • Injection-Site Reactions, including phlebitis and thrombophlebitis
  • Acute drug hypersensitivity reactions
  • Interstitial lung disease (ILD)/Pneumonitis – patients treated with CDK4/6 inhibitors should be monitored for pulmonary symptoms indicative of ILD/pneumonitis

Your doctor will assess the benefits of using Cosela against your risk of side effects. Patients are encouraged to report negative side effects or adverse reactions of Cosela to the FDA. Visit www.fda.gov/medwatch, or call 1-800-FDA-1088.

Cosela drug interactions

Cosela can interact with other medications. These include:

  • OCT2, MATE1, and MATE-2K substrates (dofetilide, dalfampridine, cisplatin) – co-administration of Cosela may increase the concentration or net accumulation of the substrates in the kidney

This list is not exhaustive and other prescription drugs may interact with Cosela.

Cosela contraindications

  • Are allergic to the active ingredient trilaciclib
  • Are allergic to any of the other ingredients in Cosela
  • Are pregnant or are planning to become pregnant – Based on its mechanism of action, Cosela can cause embryo-fetal toxicity when administered to a pregnant woman.
