Any drugs known to be inhibitors or inducers of CYP3A enzymes and/or P-glycoprotein (P-gp), including St. John's Wort and grape fruit juice, within 28 days prior to the first dosing and throughout the PK assessment. 5. Any allergies to the composition of the high fat meal. 6. Patients who use tobacco products. All Patients 7. History of COVID-19-related pneumonitis requiring hospitalization. 8. History of COVID-19 infection within 4 weeks prior to enrolment, or clinically significant pulmonary symptoms related to prior COVID-19 pneumonitis. 9. Treatment with any of the following: 1. An EGFR TKI ≤ 8 days or 5 × the terminal phase t1/2, whichever is longer, prior to the first dose of study drug on C1D1. 2.

Immunotherapy ≤ 28 days prior to the first dose of study drug on C1D1. 4. Radiotherapy \< 28 days and palliative radiation ≤ 14 days prior to the first dose of study drug on C1D1. If irradiated, lesions must have demonstrated clear-cut progression prior to being eligible for evaluation as target lesions. 5. Major surgery (excluding placement of vascular access) ≤ 28 days of the first dose of study drug on C1D1. 10. Have any unresolved toxicity of Grade ≥ 2 from previous anti-cancer treatment, except for alopecia and skin pigmentation. Patients with chronic but stable Grade 2 toxicities may be allowed to enroll after agreement between the Investigator and Sponsor. 11. Have known or suspected leptomeningeal metastasis. Have known or suspected brain metastases or spinal cord compression, unless the condition has been asymptomatic, treated with surgery and/or radiation (if clinically indicated), and has been stable without requiring escalating corticosteroids or anti-convulsant medications for at least four weeks prior to the first dose of study drug on C1D1. 12. Prior therapy with CLN-081. 13. Known hypersensitivity to CLN-081 or any drugs similar in structure or class. 14.

Resting QTcF \> 470 msec. 17. Patient is unable to take drugs po due to disorders or diseases that may affect GI function, including but not limited to inflammatory bowel diseases (eg, Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis) or malabsorption syndrome, or procedures that may affect gastrointestinal function, such as gastrectomy, enterectomy, or colectomy. 18.

Patients with active hepatitis B (HBV) infection \[as defined by a positive hepatitis B serum antigen (HBsAg) test and detectable HBV deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA)\]. Patients ineligible due to detectable levels of HBV DNA at baseline may be rescreened for enrolment if their HBV DNA levels become undetectable after treatment with antiviral agents, and upon agreement between the Investigator and Sponsor. 23.
