Brief summary: This was a single-arm, open-label, multicenter, phase II study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of the ALK inhibitor XZP-3621 when used as single agent in patients with ALK-rearranged stage IIIB, IIIC or IV NSCLC previously treated with other ALK inhibitors or non-previously treated.

Detailed description: This is a Phase 2, China only, multi center, open label, three cohorts study, in ALK positive locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC patients will be enrolled to receive XZP-3621 monotherapy.

(in Cohort 1) Treatment-Naive with any ALK inhibitor. (in Cohort 2) Disease progression after crizotinib as the only ALK inhibitor. (in Cohort 3) Disease progression after other ALK inhibitors,including or not including crizotinib previously treated.

The patients will receive XZP-3621 at 500 mg orally once daily (QD), taken with food.Patients will be treated until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, withdrawal of consent, or death, whichever occurred first. After disease progression (as per RECIST v1.1), patients should discontinue the study medication. After disease progression, patients will be treated at the discretion of the investigator according to local practice. Information regarding the nature and the duration of subsequent therapies will be collected.

Eligibility criteria: Inclusion Criteria:

1. Patients must be 18-75 years-of-age;
2. Patients with Histologically or cytologically confirmed diagnosis of advanced or recurrent (Stage IIIB and IIIC not amenable for multimodality treatment) or metastatic (Stage IV) NSCLC that is ALK-positive where ALK status is determined by Ventana immunohistochemistry (IHC) test or FISH or PCR or NGS,Sufficient tumor tissue available to perform ALK status is required if not determined.
3. Subject should have:

   (in Cohort 1) Treatment-Naive with any ALK inhibitor. (in Cohort 2) Disease progression after crizotinib as the only ALK inhibitor. (in Cohort 3) Disease progression after other ALK inhibitors,including or not including crizotinib previously treated.
4. Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) Performance Status (PS) score of 0 to 2;
5. All Subjects must have at least 1 measurable extracranial target lesion according to RECIST v1.1 that has not been previously irradiated.
6. CNS metastases are allowed if:

   1. Asymptomatic: either untreated and not currently requiring corticosteroid treatment, or
   2. Previously diagnosed and treatment has been completed with full recovery from the acute effects of radiation therapy or surgery prior to enrollment, and if corticosteroid treatment for these metastases has been withdrawn for at least 4 weeks with neurological stability.
   3. Such cases are not be allowed,such as leptomeningeal disease (LMD) or carcinomatous meningitis (CM) if visualized on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), or if baseline CSF positive cytology is available .
7. Have recovered from toxicities related to prior anticancer therapy to national cancer institute common terminology criteria for adverse events (NCI CTCAE) v5.0 grade less than or equal to (\<=)2.

8. Prior chemotherapy and radiotherapy (other than palliative) must be completed at least 4 weeks prior to initial administration; Palliative radiotherapy must be completed 1 week prior to initial administration.
9. Patients treated with any ALK inhibitor must be discontinued for ≥5 half-life or 14 days, whichever is longer, before XZP-3621 tablets are first administered;
