4. low PD-L1 expression status (CPS < 5);
5. Has at least 1 measurable lesion as determined by RECIST 1.1;
6. No systematic treatment in the past, or the patient has received neoadjuvant/adjuvant chemotherapy, but the disease progresses or relapses more than 6 months after the end of treatment;
7. Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 0-1;
8. Adequate organ function;
9. The life expectancy is at least 3 months;
10. Willing to join the study and signed an informed consent form (ICF) with good compliance and cooperation in follow-up.

6. Severe chronic or active infection requires systemic antibacterial, antifungal or antiviral treatment, including tuberculosis infection.Have a history of active tuberculosis infection ≥ 1 year before recruitment should also be excluded, unless proved has been completed appropriate treatment;
7. Brain metastasis or leptomeningeal metastasis;
8. Clinically significant pleural effusion, pericardial effusion or ascites should be drained for many times within 2 weeks before the first administration of the trial drug;

10. Any major surgery was performed ≤ 28 days before the first trial drug administration;
11. History of allogeneic stem cell transplantation or organ transplantation;
12. Duodenal ulcer, ulcerative colitis, intestinal obstruction and other gastrointestinal diseases at present; or other conditions that may cause gastrointestinal bleeding or perforation judged by the researchers; or history of intestinal perforation or fistula, but has not recovered after surgical treatment;
13. Live vaccine was inoculated within 4 weeks (inclusive) before the first administration of the trial drug, not including seasonal influenza vaccines but intranasal vaccine.
14. Has other factors that may lead to the forced termination of this trial according to the judgment of the investigator, such as other serious diseases (including psychological and mental diseases) requiring combined treatment, serious laboratory examination abnormalities, and family or social factors, which may affect the safety of the subject, or the collection of data and samples;
