4. Cohort A: patients who have received systemic platinum-based doublet chemotherapy; Cohort B: patients who have received systemic platinum-based doublet chemotherapy as advanced systemic therapy;
5. Patients received other approved systemic anticancer therapy or systemic immunomodulators (including but not limited to interferon, interleukin 2, and tumor necrosis factor) 4 weeks before the first dose;
6. Cohort B: patients with refractory pleural effusion or ascites, such as pleural effusion or ascites requiring puncture and drainage 2 before the first dose;
7. Cohort B: Patients with active leptomeningeal disease or brain metastasis, such as central nervous system symptoms, requiring interventional therapy (including but not limited to radiotherapy, intracranial pressure lowering therapy, etc.);
8. Patients with any disease requiring systemic treatment with corticosteroids (daily dose of prednisone or equivalent \> 10 mg) or other immunosuppressive drugs 14 days before grouping; Note: epinephrine replacement steroids (daily dose of prednisone ≤ 10 mg or equivalent) are allowed;Inhaled corticosteroids with minimal intranasal or systemic absorption; prophylactic use of prescription corticosteroids (eg, for contrast medium allergy) for short duration (≤ 7 days) or for treatment of non-autoimmune diseases (eg, delayed hypersensitivity reaction to contact allergens) is permitted;
9. Active autoimmune disease or history of autoimmune disease that may recur; Note: well-controlled type 1 diabetes is allowed; hypothyroidism (controlled with thyroid hormone replacement only); well-controlled celiac disease; skin disease not requiring systemic treatment (eg, vitiligo, psoriasis, alopecia); any other condition that is not expected to recur in the absence of an external trigger.

11. 4. Serious infection occurred before grouping, including but not limited to hospitalization due to infectious complications, bacteremia or severe pneumonia; severe chronic or active infection (including pulmonary tuberculosis infection, etc.) requiring systemic (oral or intravenous) antibiotics within 14 days before grouping;

16. Pregnant or lactating women, or male and female patients planning to have children during the study;
17. Other conditions that the investigators consider inappropriate for participation in this trial, such as poor compliance.
