Brief summary: A multicenter, open, single-arm phase I dose exploration and phase II extended study was conducted to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetic characteristics, and primary antitumor activity of FCN-011 in patients with advanced solid tumor (phase I) and NTRK fusion positive advanced solid tumor (phase II)

Detailed description: This study is a multicenter, open, single-arm Phase I/II clinical study, which is divided into two research parts, namely phase I dose exploration study and phase II dose extension study. In the phase I dose exploration study, the safety, tolerance and PK characteristics of FCN-011 in patients with advanced solid tumors were determined, the MTD of oral fCN-011 was determined, and the RP2D of FCN-011 in the phase II clinical study was determined, and the efficacy of FCN-011 was preliminarily evaluated. The phase II dose extension study evaluated the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of continuous oral ADMINISTRATION of FCN-011 in patients with inoperable NTRK fusion and advanced stage III or IV solid tumors, as well as the characteristics of population pharmacokinetics (PopPK).

A total of 35-82 patients were enrolled in this study, 15-24 patients were expected to be enrolled in the phase I study, and 20-58 patients were expected to be enrolled in the phase II study.

8. At least one evaluable lesion (stage I) was assessed according to RECIST 1.1 or RANO criteria; According to RECIST 1.1 or RANO standard to evaluate, at least one measurable lesions (phase II) (primary central nervous system tumors according to the standard definition RANO, needs to have one or more measurable lesions by MRI assessment, size for at least 10 mm or more, and appeared in two or more ≤ 5 mm thick section, the measure does not include cystic cavity.) The imaging evaluation should be completed within 28 days before enrollment, and the patient's hormone dosage should be stable for at least 5 days or more;
9. A fertile woman must have a negative serum pregnancy test within 28 days of the first study drug administration and agree to contraception between 28 days before the first study drug administration and 30 days after the last study drug administration; Male patients are required to undergo ligation or agree to contraception and refuse sperm donation from 7 days before the first dose to 30 days after the last dose; The failure rate of contraceptive methods\<1% per year, such as double screen contraceptive methods, condoms, oral or injectable contraceptives.
