Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm	Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: AK109+AK104; AK104: 10mg/kg (d1, q3w); AK109: 10mg/kg or 15mg/kg(d1, q3w)	Drug: AK109+AK104; It includes dose escalation and dose expansion stage. 6-12 patients will be enrolled in dose escalation stage for safety and efficacy. Then select specific dose of AK104 and AK109. Expand for the further safety and efficacy study.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure	Measure Description	Time Frame
Number of subjects experiencing dose-limiting toxicities(DLTs)	DLTs will be assessed during the first 21 days of treatment and are defined as toxicities that meet pre-defined severity criteria, and assessed as having a suspected relationship to study drug, and unrelated to disease, disease progression, inter-current illness, or concomitant medications.	Up to 21 days
Incidences and severity of AE	An AE is defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a participant administered a pharmaceutical product temporally associated with the use of study treatment, whether or not considered related to the study treatment.	Up to 2 years
Objective response rate (ORR)	The ORR is defined as the proportion of subjects with CR or PR, based on RECIST Version 1.1.	Up to 2 years

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure	Measure Description	Time Frame
Duration of response (DoR)	Duration of response is defined as the duration from the first documentation of objective response to the first documented disease progression or death due to any cause, whichever occurs first.	Up to 2 years
Progression-free survival (PFS)	PFS is defined as the time from the date of first dosing till the first documentation of disease progression (per RECIST v1.1) or death from any cause (whichever occurs first)	Up to 2 years
Disease control rate (DCR)	DCR is defined as the proportion of subjects with CR, PR, or SD, based on RECIST v1.1	Up to 2 years
Time to response (TTR)	Time to response (TTR) is defined as the time from the start of the treatment to the first objective tumor response observed for patients who achieved CR or PR, as determined by the investigator according to RECIST v1.1.	Up to 2 years
Overall survival (OS)	OS defined as the time from the first dose to death from any cause. Subjects who do not die at the end of the extended follow-up period, or were lost to follow-up during the study, were censored at the last date they were known to be alive.	Up to 2 years
Correlation analysis of PD-L1 expression with efficacy	Characteristics of tumor tissue PD-L1 expression and exploratory analysis of correlation between PD-L1 expression status and efficacy.	Up to 2 years
