• 6. Patients with a history of severe hemorrhagic tendency or coagulation dysfunction including, but not limited to, clinical symptoms within 3 months prior to entry into the study. Clinically significant hemoptysis (greater than one tablespoon of hemoptysis per day) within 3 months prior to enrollment; or clinically significant bleeding symptoms or bleeding tendency within 4 weeks prior to enrollment, such as peptic hemorrhage, hemorrhagic gastric ulcers (including gastrointestinal perforation and/or fistulae, except that gastrointestinal perforation or fistulae that have been surgically resected may be permitted to be enrolled), non-healing wounds, ulcers, or bone fracture;

50 participants in 1 patient group

Benmelstobart in combination with anlotinib and chemotherapy

Experimental group

Description:

Patients who met the enrollment criteria were first treated with benmelstobart in combination with anlotinib and carboplatin/cisplatin and etoposide for 4 cycles, and for non-progressing patients were evaluated by the investigator to receive maintenance therapy with benmelstobart in combination with anlotinib, which was continued until clinical benefit was lost or toxicity was intolerable or efficacy was evaluated to be PD, or continuation of the medication was deemed unsuitable by the investigator.

Treatment:

Drug: Etoposide

Drug: Anlotinib

Drug: Carboplatin or cisplatin

Drug: Benmelstobart
