Primary purpose: TREATMENT

Brief summary: This is a single-arm, multicenter trial of cadonilimab (AK104) with adriamycin in patients with first-line advanced soft tissue sarcoma. the primary objective is to evaluate objective response rate of cadonilimab with adriamycin.

Detailed description: In this study, the screening period does not exceed 28 days, and subjects who are qualified after completion of the screening examination and evaluation entered the treatment period and undergo study treatment and visits as specified in the protocol. In particular, tumor imaging assessments are performed every 2 cycles during the first 16 cycles; thereafter, tumor imaging assessments are performed every 4 cycles.

Eligibility criteria: Inclusion Criteria:

* Women of childbearing potential should have a negative serum or urine pregnancy test within 72 hours prior to receiving the first dose of study treatment; and should be willing to use one acceptable contraception (i.e., oral contraceptives, condoms, intrauterine devices \[IUDs\]) throughout the period of taking study treatment and for at least 3 months after the last dose of study drug(s). For men, surgical sterilization or consent to appropriate contraception during observation and up to 90 days after the last treatment should be used

Exclusion Criteria:

* known allergy to recombinant humanized anti-PD-1 monoclonal antibody drugs and their components
* Known allergy to recombinant humanized anti-CTLA-4 monoclonal antibody drug and its components
* known allergy to any component of the cadonilimab formulation
* Patients with cardiac disease class II or higher as determined by the New York Heart Association (NYHA) score
* Palliative radiotherapy within 2 weeks prior to the first dose
* Other active malignancy within 5 years prior to enrollment. Except for locally curable malignancies (manifested as cured) such as basal or cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma, superficial bladder cancer, endometrial carcinoma in situ, cervical carcinoma in situ, or breast carcinoma in situ
* Concurrent enrollment in another clinical study, unless it is an observational (non-interventional) clinical study
* Active autoimmune disease requiring systemic therapy within 2 years prior to the start of study treatment, or autoimmune disease that, in the judgment of the Investigator, is likely to recur or for which treatment is planned; except for the following: skin diseases not requiring systemic therapy (e.g., vitiligo, alopecia areata, psoriasis, or eczema); hypothyroidism due to autoimmune thyroiditis requiring only a stable dose of hormone replacement therapy; well-controlled type I diabetes mellitus; childhood well-controlled type I diabetes mellitus; subjects whose childhood asthma has completely resolved and does not require any intervention in adulthood; and subjects who, in the judgment of the investigator, have a disease that will not recur in the absence of external triggers
* Inflammatory bowel disease (e.g., Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis, or chronic diarrhea) that is active or requires clinical management
* Subjects will require systemic therapy with corticosteroids (\>10 mg/day of prednisone equivalents) or other immunosuppressive medications within 14 days of administration of study drug. Inhaled or topical topical steroids and adrenal replacement doses \>10 mg/day of prednisone equivalent are allowed in the absence of active autoimmune disease. Topical, ocular, intra-articular, intranasal and inhaled corticosteroids (with minimal systemic absorption) are permitted in subjects. Physiologic replacement doses of systemic corticosteroids are permitted, even if \>10 mg/day of prednisone equivalent. Short-term use of corticosteroids is permitted for prophylaxis (e.g., contrast allergy) or for treatment of non-autoimmune diseases (e.g., delayed hypersensitivity reactions due to contact allergens)

Subjects who experience irreversible toxicity that is not expected to worsen with administration of study drug (e.g., hearing loss) may be included in the study after consultation with the Medical Ombudsman. Subjects with radiotherapy-induced long-term toxicity that, in the judgment of the Investigator, is not reversible may be included in the study after consultation with the Medical Ombudsman
* Females who are pregnant or breastfeeding
