A Phase I/II Study of WJ13404 Monotherapy in Patients With Advanced or Mentastatic Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer

A Phase I/II Study to Evaluate the Safety, Tolerability, Pharmacokinetics and Preliminary Efficacy of WJ13405 Monotherapy in Patients With Advanced or Mentastatic Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer

This is an open-label phase I/II preliminary study, including dose escalation, dose expansion, and efficacy expansion, to evaluate drug safety, tolerability, PK, and efficacy. The dose escalation study evaluates the IMP's safety, tolerability, and PK in patients with locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC who have experienced disease progression after third-generation EGFR-TKI therapy. The dose expansion study, after 2-3 dose levels are selected based on dose escalation results, further investigates the IMP's safety, tolerability, and PK, explores preliminary efficacy, and determines RP2D in patients with locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC harboring EGFR C797X mutation. The efficacy expansion study evaluates the IMP's safety and efficacy in patients with locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC harboring EGFR C797X mutation.

4. Dose expansion and efficacy expansion: patients with proven EGFR C797X mutation;

7. ECOG PS score of 0-1;
8. Expected survival of more than 12 weeks;

9. Sufficient vital organ functions at screening (requiring no blood transfusion, use of hematopoietic stimulating factor, or use of human albumin preparation within 14 days before screening):

Experimental: Experimental:WJ13404 tablets; Dose escalation: 6 dose levels The dose escalation study is proposed to include 6 dose levels: 30, 90, 180, 270, 360, and 480 mg once daily. (It can be adjusted based on clinical PK data and safety results after discussion between PI and the sponsor). Dose-expansion: After the initial data evaluation, the Sponsor and the SMC will select 2-3 dose levels to evaluate drug safety and PK further, explore its preliminary efficacy, and determine RP2D. Efficacy expansion: The RP2D determined in dose escalation and dose expansion will be applied.
