Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: Sintilimab and Bevacizumab Combined with Radiotherapy

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
ORR (objective response rate)
Time Frame: through study completion, up to 2 year
the proportion of patients who have a partial or complete response to therapy.
through study completion, up to 2 year

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
PFS (progression-free survival)
Time Frame: through study completion, up to 2 year
defined as the time from receiving treatment until disease progression or death from any cause, whichever happens first. Patients who withdraw or who are lost to follow-up will be censored at the date last known to be alive and progression free. Patients not having an event will be censored at the date last seen alive.
through study completion, up to 2 year
OS (overall survival)
Time Frame: through study completion, up to 2 year
defined as the time from receiving treatment until death from any cause. Patients who withdraw or who are lost to follow-up will be censored at the date last known to be alive. Patients remaining alive throughout the duration of the study will have their survival time censored on the date last seen alive.
through study completion, up to 2 year
DCR (disease control rate)
Time Frame: through study completion, up to 2 year
the proportion of patients whose tumors have shrunk or been stable for a certain period of time, including cases of complete response (CR), partial response (PR), or stable disease (SD).
through study completion, up to 2 year
LCR (local control rate)
Time Frame: through study completion, up to 2 year
the percentage of lesions with absence of recurrence within the high-dose region (80% isodose volume)
through study completion, up to 2 year
Adverse effects
Time Frame: through study completion, up to 2 year
Adverse effects of sintilimab and bevacizumab combined with radiotherapy,number of participants with treatment-related adverse events as assessed by CTCAE v5.0
through study completion, up to 2 year
