Numerous clinical trials across early to late development phases evaluate ensartinib for ALK-positive non-small cell lung cancer, central nervous system metastases, and recurrent or refractory solid neoplasms. Conducted by industry sponsors such as Betta Pharmaceuticals alongside academic and governmental institutions like the National Cancer Institute and Shanghai Pulmonary Hospital, trial recruitment statuses range from not yet recruiting to completed. Overall, these studies assess ensartinib as both monotherapy and combination regimens across neoadjuvant, adjuvant, and advanced disease settings.
