Actual date on which the first participant was enrolled.

This clinical trial is focused on finding a new treatment approach for individuals with advanced stages of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) that has spread or is difficult to treat with standard methods. The study is testing a combination of two drugs, trilaciclib and docetaxel, to see if this combination can improve outcomes for patients who have already undergone initial treatments. This research is important because finding more effective treatments could lead to better survival rates and quality of life for people with this type of cancer. Participants in the study will receive trilaciclib before undergoing chemotherapy with docetaxel over a period of four cycles. Throughout the trial, researchers will monitor changes in participants' blood counts and watch for side effects such as infections or the need for blood transfusions. Tumor sizes will be evaluated using imaging tests every six weeks to check for any changes. Even if participants stop taking the study drugs due to side effects, their progress will still be followed through imaging until their condition worsens or they leave the study for other reasons.
