Study summary

This is a prospective, multi-center, single-arm, phase 2 study aiming to assess the efficacy and safety of adjuvant use of Ensartinib in stage IB-IIIA non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with positive ALK-fusion. Enrolled patients will take Ensatinib for 3 years or until recurrence of the disease or intolerable toxicity, following complete tumour resection with or without adjuvant standard chemotherapy.

Inclusion criteria

  • Completely resected pathological stage IB-IIIA NSCLC with ALK-fusion positive (confirmed by FISH, IHC or NGS).
  • Males or females aged ≥18 years, ≤75 years.
  • ECOG performance status 0-2.
  • Completely recovered from surgery or standard postoperative chemotherapy before receiving adjuvant ensatinib treatment. (When starting the study treatment, the patient must have recovered from all toxicities greater than CTCAE Grade 1 caused by the previous treatment, except for hair loss and Grade 2 neuropathy related to previous platinum-based treatments).
  • Clinical examinations before treatment report no signs of disease recurrance.
  • With enough tumor histology specimens (non-cytology) for molecular marker analysis.
  • hemoglobin concentration ≥ 100 g/L (permit to maintain hematologic criteria by blood transfusion); absolute neutrophil count (ANC) ≥1.5×10\^9/L; platelet count ≥100×10\^9/L.
  • Liver Function: TBil ≤2xULN; ALT and AST ≤2.5xULN;
  • Renal Function: Cr ≤1.5xULN, and Ccr ≥60ml/min;
  • Signed inform consent form by patient or his/her legal representative.
  • Comply with study protocol and procedure, and be able to take oral medication.
  • Female patients of childbearing potential must have a negative urine pregnancy test within 7 days before study treatment.
  • Eligible patients of reproductive potential (both sexes) must agree to use a reliable method of birth control before enrollment, during the study period and for at least 8 weeks after their last dose of study therapy.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Previously suffering from interstitial lung disease, drug-induced interstitial disease, radiation pneumonia that requires hormone therapy, or any clinically evidenced active interstitial lung disease; CT scan at baseline revealed the presence of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis.
  • Any unstable systemic disease, including: active infection, uncontrolled high blood pressure, unstable angina pectoris, angina pectoris that started within the last 3 months, congestive heart failure (≥ New York Heart Association [NYHA] II Grade), myocardial infarction (6 months before enrollment), severe arrhythmia requiring medical treatment; liver, kidney or metabolic diseases.
  • Women who are pregnant or breastfeeding.

Timeline

Tracking since Sep 25, 2026
ElapsedEstimatedEstimated, not yet reachedSimilar studies: half by the dot; the band is the middle halfHalf of similar studies reached it by the dot; the band is the middle half, from a quarter to three quarters

Started May 2022 (actual). Primary completion is estimated for Feb 2027, 57 months after the start.

Of 678 non-industry phase 2 interventional studies under Carcinoma, Non-Small-Cell Lung, half reached primary completion within 56 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 36 and three quarters within 81. This study's planned 57 months is close to that.

Counting every sponsor, half of 970 studies reached it within 48 months; a quarter within 30 and three quarters within 75.

How these figures are worked out, and which studies are left out of them.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Oct 10, 2023, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
