The main purpose of this research study is to
Find a safe and tolerable dose of two investigational drugs, ANS014004 and PLB1004, when used together.
Learn how effective this drug combination is at treating a type of lung cancer called "EGFR mutation-positive non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC)" that has spread to other parts of the body (locally advanced or metastatic).
This study is trying to answer the following questions:
Safety \& Dosing: What are the side effects of combining ANS014004 and PLB1004? What is the best dose to use that patients can tolerate well?
Effectiveness: Can this combination of drugs help shrink patients' tumors or stop them from growing?
Background Information
For patients with advanced lung cancer that has a specific gene change called an "EGFR mutation," targeted therapies known as EGFR-TKIs are a standard treatment. While these treatments often work well at first, most tumors eventually stop responding to the drug (this is called "acquired resistance"). The investigational drug ANS014004 is designed to block a protein called MET, which is one of the ways that tumors become resistant to EGFR-TKIs. The researchers believe that by combining ANS014004 with the EGFR-TKI PLB1004, they may be able to prevent or delay resistance, offering patients a more effective and longer-lasting treatment option.
How will the study be conducted?
This study is divided into two parts:
Part 1 (Dose Escalation and Optimization): A small number of participants will receive different dose levels of ANS014004 combined with a fixed dose of PLB1004. The goal is to find the safest and most tolerable dose combination.
Part 2 (Phase II Study): Once a recommended dose is identified, more participants will be enrolled to further evaluate how well the drug combination works against the cancer.
Throughout the study, participants' health will be closely monitored, and their tumors will be measured regularly using imaging scans (like CT scans) to see how they respond to the treatment.

ORR is defined as the proportion of participants with confirmed Complete Response (CR) or Partial Response (PR) per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) Version 1.1. Tumor assessments are performed every 6 weeks (±7 days) for the first year and every 12 weeks (±7 days) thereafter. The outcome will be reported as the proportion of participants achieving ORR, with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) calculated using the Clopper-Pearson method.
Measured: 2 years
Recommended Phase 2 Dose (RP2D) of ANS014004 in combination with PLB1004 (Phase Ib Dose Optimization)
To identify the RP2D of the combination therapy. RP2D is determined based on comprehensive analysis of safety (incidence of AEs/DLTs), pharmacokinetic (PK) data, and preliminary efficacy (ORR, DCR) from the Phase Ib Dose Optimization period. The outcome will be reported as the specific dose of ANS014004 (e.g., 60 mg QD) combined with fixed 80 mg QD PLB1004 selected for Phase II.
Measured: 2 years.

Effectiveness: Can this combination of drugs help shrink patients' tumors or stop them from growing?
Background Information
For patients with advanced lung cancer that has a specific gene change called an "EGFR mutation," targeted therapies known as EGFR-TKIs are a standard treatment. While these treatments often work well at first, most tumors eventually stop responding to the drug (this is called "acquired resistance"). The investigational drug ANS014004 is designed to block a protein called MET, which is one of the ways that tumors become resistant to EGFR-TKIs. The researchers believe that by combining ANS014004 with the EGFR-TKI PLB1004, they may be able to prevent or delay resistance, offering patients a more effective and longer-lasting treatment option.
How will the study be conducted?
This study is divided into two parts:
Part 1 (Dose Escalation and Optimization): A small number of participants will receive different dose levels of ANS014004 combined with a fixed dose of PLB1004. The goal is to find the safest and most tolerable dose combination.
Part 2 (Phase II Study): Once a recommended dose is identified, more participants will be enrolled to further evaluate how well the drug combination works against the cancer.
Throughout the study, participants' health will be closely monitored, and their tumors will be measured regularly using imaging scans (like CT scans) to see how they respond to the treatment.

| ANS014004+PLB1004 | Experimental | Drug: ANS014004 + PLB1004The Phase Ib study consists of two parts: dose escalation and dose optimization. The dose escalation part will enroll participants with EGFR mutation-positive locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC who have received prior standard therapy in order to evaluate the safety and tolerability of the combination therapy and determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) (if any); The dose optimization part will further expand the population to include participants with EGFR mutation-positive locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC who have not received prior systemic therapy for advanced disease or have received standard therapy to determine the recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D). |
| ANS014004 + Osimertinib | Active comparator | Drug: ANS014004 + Osimertinibparticipants will be enrolled in into two cohorts according to the prior anti-tumor treatment received. * Cohort A: participants with EGFR mutation-positive (excluding exon 20 insertions) locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC who have not received prior standard systemic therapy for advanced disease. Participants who meet the inclusion criteria will be stratified according to baseline brain metastasis status (present vs. absent) and be randomized at a ratio of 2:1 to receive the combination treatment of ANS014004 and PLB1004 or the combination treatment of ANS014004 and Osimertinib. * Cohort B: participants with EGFR mutation-positive (excluding exon 20 insertions) locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC who previously received standard systemic therapy. Participants who meet the inclusion criteria will be stratified according to baseline MET amplification and/or overexpression status (present vs. absent) and be randomized at a ratio of 2:1 to receive the combination treatment of ANS0140 |

- For Phase Ib dose escalation: have disease progression after the existing standard of care or intolerance to the existing standard of care or inappropriate or no effective standard of care is available (standard of care is defined as treatment recommended by the National Comprehensive Cancer Network [NCCN] guidelines [including but not limited to chemotherapy, radiotherapy, targeted therapy based on mutation status, immunotherapy, and surgery]). For participants who are considered intolerant to or ineligible for available standard therapy, or for whom effective standard therapy does not exist, the documentation of these reasons is required.
Key exclusion criteria (45 listed)
- Have other known primary driver gene alterations. For example, NSCLC with a targetable alteration in ALK, RET, ROS1, BRAF, KRAS, etc. The investigators should discuss enrollment with the sponsor regarding co-mutations.
- Prior treated with hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) targeted therapy or other MET-TKIs (including Type I and Type II), e.g., gulmonertinib, savolitinib, capmatinib, tepotinib, bozitinib, cabozantinib, glenitinib and almonertinib.
- Participation in other therapeutic clinical trials within 28 days prior to the first dose of study treatment.
- Received anti-tumor therapy (chemotherapy, immunotherapy, hormone therapy, targeted therapy, biological therapy or other anti-tumor therapy, except for hormones for hypothyroidism or estrogen replacement therapy, anti-estrogen analogs, and agonists required to inhibit serum testosterone levels) within 14 days or 5 half-lives (whichever is shorter) of the first dose of study treatment. The following exceptions are:
- Radiotherapy with a wide field of radiation within 28 days, or radiotherapy with a limited field of radiation for palliation within 14 days of the first dose of study treatment.

Primary outcome
Number of participants with dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) during the DLT observation period (Phase Ib Dose Escalation)
Time frame: 2 years.
To evaluate the tolerability of ANS014004 in combination with PLB1004. DLT is defined per NCI-CTCAE v5.0 (e.g., Grade 4 neutropenia lasting ≥7 days, febrile neutropenia, Grade 4 thrombocytopenia, Hy's Law-meeting hepatotoxicity, Grade ≥3 non-hematologic/non-hepatic toxicity excluding specified exceptions, etc.). The DLT observation period is the first 28 days after treatment initiation (including single-dose period and Cycle 1 of multiple-dose period). The outcome will be reported as the count and proportion of participants experiencing DLT in each dose group.
Maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of ANS014004 in combination with PLB1004 (Phase Ib Dose Escalation)
Time frame: 2 years
To determine the MTD of the combination therapy. MTD is defined as the highest dose level where ≤1 of 3-6 evaluable participants experience DLT during the DLT observation period. The outcome will be reported as the specific dose of ANS014004 (e.g., 45 mg QD, 60 mg QD) combined with fixed 80 mg QD PLB1004 that meets the MTD definition.
Objective Response Rate (ORR) assessed by investigator per RECIST v1.1 (Phase Ib Dose Optimization, Phase II)
Time frame: 2 years
To evaluate the anti-tumor activity of ANS014004 in combination with PLB1004 (Phase Ib Dose Optimization) or ANS014004 combined with PLB1004/Osimertinib (Phase II) in EGFR mutation-positive locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC. ORR is defined as the proportion of participants with confirmed Complete Response (CR) or Partial Response (PR) per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) Version 1.1. Tumor assessments are performed every 6 weeks (±7 days) for the first year and every 12 weeks (±7 days) thereafter. The outcome will be reported as the proportion of participants achieving ORR, with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) calculated using the Clopper-Pearson method.
Recommended Phase 2 Dose (RP2D) of ANS014004 in combination with PLB1004 (Phase Ib Dose Optimization)
Time frame: 2 years.
To identify the RP2D of the combination therapy. RP2D is determined based on comprehensive analysis of safety (incidence of AEs/DLTs), pharmacokinetic (PK) data, and preliminary efficacy (ORR, DCR) from the Phase Ib Dose Optimization period. The outcome will be reported as the specific dose of ANS014004 (e.g., 60 mg QD) combined with fixed 80 mg QD PLB1004 selected for Phase II.

What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
What does this combined phase mean?
Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.
Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.
Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.
Are results available for this study?
This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
Each site lists its own contact: choose the nearest one under Trial locations. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Number of participants with dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) during the DLT observation period (Phase Ib Dose Escalation) (time frame: 2 years.). The study lists 4 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 16 Dec 2025.
