2. Serum total bilirubin ≤1.5 × upper limit of normal (ULN);

3. Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) or aspartate aminotransferase (AST) ≤2.5 × ULN in the absence of liver metastases; ALT and AST ≤5 × ULN in the presence of liver metastases.

4. Serum creatinine ≤ 1.5 × ULN and creatinine clearance ≥ 50 mL/min (calculated according to the Cockcroft-Gault formula, see Appendix 3);

5. Routine urinalysis showing urine protein < 2+; in case of urine protein ≥ 2+, 24-hour urine protein (quantitative) should be <1g;

Male or female patients of childbearing potential volunteer to use effective contraceptive methods during the study and within 90 days after last administration of the study drug, such as double barrier contraception, condoms, oral or injectable contraceptives, intrauterine contraceptive device, etc. All female patients will be considered to be of childbearing potential unless they are naturally postmenopausal, underwent artificial menopause, or are surgically sterile (e.g., hysterectomy, bilateral adnexectomy).

Exclusion Criteria:

• Subjects must be excluded from this study when any one of the following criteria is met:

1. Toxicities associated with previous anti-tumor treatment do not return to ≤CTCAE grade 1, except for alopecia and peripheral neurotoxicity (≤ CTCAE grade 2 ) caused by Oxaliplatin;

5. Use of radical radiotherapy (including radiotherapy for more than 25% of the bone marrow) within 4 weeks before the first dose; brachytherapy (e.g. radioactive particle implantation) within 60 days prior to the first dose; palliative radiotherapy for bone metastases within 1 week before the first dose;

10. Use of immunosuppressant within 4 weeks prior to the first dose, not including local glucocorticoid via nasal spray, inhalation or other routes or systemic glucocorticoid at physiological dose (i.e., no more than 10mg/day of prednisone or equivalent dose), temporary use of glucocorticoid for treatment of dyspnea resulted from asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease is allowed, and preventive use of corticosteroid to avoid allergic reactions is allowed

11. Patients with any active autoimmune disorders requiring systematic treatment or a history of autoimmune disease in the past 2 years,

12. Use of systemic immune stimulants within 4 weeks prior to the first dose;

13. Vaccination of any live or attenuated live vaccine within 4 weeks prior to the first dose or during the study.

14. Patients having received major surgical operation within 4 weeks prior to the first dose .

15. Uncontrollable malignant hydrothorax, ascites or pericardial effusion ;

20. Patients with evidence or history of obvious bleeding tendency within 2 months prior to the first dose

21. Arterial thrombosis or deep venous thrombosis occurred within 6 months prior to the first dose; or stroke events and/or transient ischemic attacks occurred within 12 months.
