- Ages 18 to 75 years
- All sexes
- No healthy volunteers
- Adult, Older adult
Who may be able to join
- The subject fully understands and agrees to comply with all study procedures, and voluntarily signs the pre-screening informed consent form and main study informed consent form.
- Aged ≥18 years and ≤75 years at the time of informed consent signature, with no gender restriction.
- Expected overall survival ≥3 months.

- Subjects must have adequate organ function, and have not received blood transfusion or hematopoietic growth factor support within 14 days prior to the first administration of ALK201.
- Serum pregnancy test result is negative for female subjects of childbearing potential during the screening period.
Who cannot join
- Adverse events related to prior anti-tumor therapy have not recovered to Grade ≤1 per NCI-CTCAE Version 6.0. Exceptions include alopecia, hypothyroidism stabilized with hormone replacement therapy, and Grade 2 toxicities judged by the Investigator to pose no safety risk (Grade 2 neuropathy is excluded).
- Use of strong cytochrome P450 (CYP) 3A4 inhibitors, strong CYP3A4 inducers, or relevant foods within 2 weeks or 5 half-lives prior to the first administration of ALK201 and combination therapy, whichever is longer.
- History of other malignancies besides the study disease within 5 years prior to enrollment, except malignancies cured by radical treatment without evidence of recurrence, such as basal cell carcinoma or squamous cell carcinoma of the skin, superficial bladder carcinoma, cervical carcinoma in situ, low-risk prostate cancer, and ductal carcinoma in situ of the breast.
- Presence of clinically symptomatic, poorly controlled, or recurrently drained pleural effusion, pericardial effusion, or ascites.

Subjects with prior major surgery must fully recover from surgical toxicities and/or complications to Grade ≤1 per CTCAE v6.0 before the first study drug administration; otherwise, they will be excluded.

About this study
Official title: An Open-label, Multicenter Phase II Clinical Trial to Evaluate ALK201 for Injection Combined With Ivonescimab Injection in Subjects With Locally Advanced or Metastatic Squamous Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer
This is an open-label, multicenter, Phase II clinical study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and anti-tumor activity of ALK201 for Injection combined with Ivonescimab Injection in adult patients with locally advanced or metastatic squamous non-small cell lung cancer (sqNSCLC) who are FGFR2b-positive, EGFR mutation-negative, and ALK-negative. The study consists of two parts: Part A (dose escalation) and Part B (dose optimization).
Part A Dose Escalation Stage: This stage includes three dose levels. Eligible patients with locally advanced or metastatic sqNSCLC who have failed standard therapy will be enrolled to complete DLT assessment.

Part B Dose Optimization Stage: This stage comprises two cohorts, enrolling eligible patients with locally advanced or metastatic sqNSCLC satisfying the respective cohort criteria:
Primary cohort: PD-L1 expression ≥1% Exploratory cohort: PD-L1 expression <1%

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
ALK201 for injectionDrug
Subjects will be randomized 1:1 to the two dose levels selected from Part A. The administered dose will be calculated based on the assigned dose arm and the subject's body weight.
Ivonescimab InjectionDrug
The administered dose will be calculated based on a fixed dose of 20 mg/kg and the subject's body weight.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 2 study testing ALK201 for injection and Ivonescimab Injection in people with NSCLC (Advanced Non-small Cell Lung Cancer), run by Shanghai Allink Biotherapeutics Co., Ltd..
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
The sponsor lists 7 inclusion and 9 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: opening soon, as of the sponsor's last update on 3 Aug 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
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 phase mean?
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?
Contact Chaochao Du (+8613122503303, ccdu@allinkbio.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
TEAEs (time frame: Up to 24 months). 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 3 Aug 2026.
