What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure	Measure Description	Time Frame
Objective response rate（ORR）	Refers to the proportion of all subjects with the best overall response (BOR) as complete remission (CR) or partial remission (PR) according to RECIST 1.1 criteria.	1 years

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure	Measure Description	Time Frame
Disease control rate（DCR）	Refers to the proportion of all subjects with the best overall response (BOR) according to RECIST1.1 criteria as complete remission (CR), partial remission (PR) and stable disease (SD).	1 years
Progression-free survival (PFS)	PFS was defined as the subject's date from the date of the first dose to the date of the first documented tumor progression (as assessed by RECIST1.1 criteria, with or without continuation of treatment) or the date of death from any cause, whichever occurred first.	1 years
Duration of response (DoR) Duration of response (DoR) Duration of response (DoR) Duration of response (DoR) Duration of response (DoR) Duration of response (DoR)	It refers to the time between the first evaluation of a tumor as CR or PR and the second evaluation as Progressive Disease (PD) or death from any cause.	1 years
Overall survival（OS）	Defined as the time from the date of the first dose to the death of the subject from any cause.	2 years
Occurence of AE and SAE	Occurence of Adverse Event (AE) and Serious Adverse Event (SAE) （NCI CTCAE 5.0）	2 years
Appraisal of life quality	Quality of life scale for cancer patients(The EORTC's QLQ-C30 (V3.0)) is a core scale for all cancer patients with 30 entries.Items 29 and 30 are divided into seven grades, ranging from 1 to 7 according to their answer choices; Other items are rated on a four-point scale,with a straightforward scale of 1 to 4.Except for items 29 and 30, they are all reverse entries (the larger the value, the worse the quality of life).The score for each field is obtained by adding and dividing the scores for the items included in each field by the number of items included (RS).The standard component of the computing function area also changes direction. Specifically, it is calculated according to the following formula (where R is the score range of each field or item).Functional area: SS=[1-(RS-1)/R]*100 Symptom domain and general health status domain :SS=[(RS-1)/R]*100	1 years
