Title:
Ensartinib in advanced ALK-positive non-small cell lung cancer: a multicenter, open-label, two-staged, phase 1 trial
Excerpt:Patients with advanced, ALK or ROS1-positive NSCLC were recruited from 2 centers in China....In all patients (43 ALK+ and 5 ROS1+), the ORR and disease control rates (DCR) were 64.6 % (1 CR and 30 PR) and 81.3% (8 SD), respectively. The median PFS was 16.79 months [95% confidence interval (CI), 8.11 to 25.47 months]….In 43 ALK positive patients, the ORR and DCR were 72.1% (95% CI, 58.1–86.1%) and 83.7% (95% CI, 72.2–95.2%), respectively. The mPFS was 18.23 months (95% CI, 8.77–27.70 months).

[Pharmacology and Clinical Evaluation of Ensartinib Hydrochloride Capsule]
Excerpt:Ensartinib (X-396), a next-generation ALK tyrosine kinase inhibitor (ALK-TKI), has shown greater potency on inhibiting ALK activity and controlling brain metastases than crizotinib, which is indicated for the treatment of crizotinib-resistant, ALK-positive NSCLC patients.

Abstract 579: Ensartinib (X-396), a novel ALK TKI, in Chinese ALK-positive non-small cell lung cancer: A phase I, dose-escalation and expansion study
Excerpt:Between March, 2017 and August, 2018, 48 patients were enrolled. 43 patients were locally detected ALK positive by FISH or IHC (VANTANA), 5 patients harbored with ROS1 fusion....In ALK positive patients, the ORR and DCR were 80.5% (33/41) and 87.8% (36/41). The ORRs and DCRs at ≥225mg were 68.6% (24/35) and 85.7% (30/35), respectively....Ensartinib was well tolerated in Chinese ALK-positive NSCLC patients with high antitumor activity.
