Brief summary: This study is a randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multicentre phase 3 clinical study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of SG001 plus chemotherapy±bevacizumab versus placebo plus chemotherapy±bevacizumab, as first-line treatment, in patients with PD-L1 positive (CPS≥1), Recurrent or Metastatic Cervical Cancer. The study contains a Safety Lead-in Phase in which the safety and tolerability of SG001＋Chemotherapy±Bevacizumab will be assessed prior to the Phase 3 portion of the study.

Detailed description: The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy and safety of SG001 plus one of four platinum-based chemotherapy regimens compared to the placebo plus one of four platinum-based chemotherapy regimens in the treatment of adult PD-L1 positive (CPS≥1) women with recurrent, or metastatic cervical cancer. Possible chemotherapy regimens include paclitaxel plus cisplatin with or without bevacizumab and paclitaxel plus carboplatin with or without bevacizumab. The study include two stages: the safety run-in phase and phase Ⅲ trail. Upon completion of the first stage study, the Safety Monitoring Committee (SMC) will decide whether to proceed directly to Phase Ⅲ study.

The primary study hypotheses are that the combination of SG001 plus chemotherapy is superior to placebo plus chemotherapy with respect to: 1) Progression-free Survival (PFS) per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST 1.1), 2) Overall Survival (OS).

Eligibility criteria: Inclusion Criteria:

* Age ≥ 18 and ≤ 70 on the day of signing informed consent and volunteered to participated in this study.
* Has histologically documented recurrent, or metastatic squamous cell carcinoma, adenosquamous carcinoma, or adenocarcinoma of the cervix which has not been treated with systemic chemotherapy and is not amenable to curative treatment (such as with surgery and/or radiation).
* (Safety Lead-in)Has a measurable lesion per RECIST 1.1 via CT or MRI. (Phase 3) Has a assessable lesion per RECIST 1.1 via CT or MRI.
* Has provided enough archival tumor tissue sample or willing to provide newly obtained core or excisional biopsy of a tumor lesion not previously irradiated for prospective determination of Programmed Cell Death-Ligand 1 (PD-L1) status prior to first dose.
* Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 0 to 1 within 14 days prior to first dose.
* Has a predicted survival period ≥ 3 months assessed by investigators.
* Adverse reactions from the previous anti-tumor treatment have not yet recovered to ≤ level 1 based on CTCAE 5.0.
* Adequate organ function as defined below:

  1. Blood routine tests (No blood transfusions and hematopoietic stimulators have been used, and no drugs have been used to correct blood cell counts ): Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) ≥1.5×10\^9/L; Platelets ≥100 ×10\^9/L; Hemoglobin (HGB)≥9 g/dL;
  2. Serum biochemical indexs: Serum creatinine ≤1.5 × ULN or \>1.5 × ULN with creatinine clearance (CCr) ≥ 60 mL/min; Serum total bilirubin (TBIL) ≤ 1.5 × ULN (Patients with Gilbert's syndrome can be up to 3 × ULN); Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) ≤2.5 × ULN or ≤5 X ULN for patients with liver metastases;
  3. Coagulation function: Activated partial thromboplastin time (APPT) and International Normalized Ratio (INR)≤1.5 × ULN (No anticoagulants or other drugs affecting clotting function have been used within 14 days prior to the first dose, except for patients requiring long-term anticoagulant therapy).

Exclusion Criteria:

* Active malignancy within 2 years prior to first dose of the investigational drug, except for cervical cancer studied in this trial and any locally curable tumor that has received radical therapy (e.g., resected basal or squamous cell skin cancer, superficial bladder cancer, cervical cancer in situ, breast cancer in situ, etc).
