Brief summary: This study plans to enroll 69 subjects of endometrial cancer and 5-10 subjects of sarcoma of uterus. The experimental set is divided into lead-in trial and formal trial. The lead-in trial includes 9 subjects to observe the safety of the combination and determine the dosage of anlotinib dihydrochloride capsules before the formal phase.

The formal trial includes 60 subjects of endometrial cancer and 5-10 subjects of sarcoma of uterus. The purpose is to evaluate efficacy and safety of TQB2450 injection combined with chemotherapy ± anlotinib hydrochloride capsules for first-line treatment and maintenance treatment of patient with advanced endometrial cancer or sarcoma of uterus, and explore biomarkers related to efficacy, mechanism of action, safety and/or pathological mechanisms, the surgical conversion rate. ORR is the primary endpoint.
