Treatments tested in this trial

  • anlotinib combined with benmelstobart

    Drug

    Benmelstobart injection 1200 mg will be diluted in 250 mL normal saline (0.9% sodium chloride) and administered via intravenous infusion over 60 ± 10 minutes on Day 1 of each 21-day cycle until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, or a maximum of 24 months. Anlotinib hydrochloride capsules 12 mg will be administered orally once daily before breakfast at approximately the same time each day on a schedule of 2 weeks on and 1 week off in 21-day cycles until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

  • Toripalimab Combined with Chemotherapy

    Drug

    Induction Phase (maximum 6 cycles):Toripalimab injection 240 mg will be administered intravenously over 60 minutes on Day 1 of each 21-day cycle after dilution in 100 mL normal saline (0.9% sodium chloride). Chemotherapy regimen will be determined prior to randomization based on individual patient characteristics. Patients will receive one of the following chemotherapy regimens per local treatment standards: Cisplatin 60-75 mg/m² intravenously on Day 1 plus paclitaxel 150-175 mg/m² intravenously over \>3 hours, both administered every 3 weeks; or cisplatin 60-75 mg/m² intravenously on Day 1 plus fluorouracil 700-850 mg/m² daily by continuous intravenous infusion over 24 hours on Days 1-5, repeated every 3 weeks. Maintenance Phase :Toripalimab injection 240 mg will be administered intravenously over 60 minutes on Day 1 of each 21-day cycle after dilution in 100 mL normal saline (0.9% sodium chloride).
