Toxicity induced by previous therapy (except alopecia) not recovered to ≤ grade 1 (NCI-CTCAE v5.0).
- Prior use of other anti-PD-1 antibody or other immunotherapy targeting PD-1/PD-L1.
- Uncontrolled pericardial effusion, uncontrolled pleural effusion or clinically obvious moderate or severe peritoneal effusion at screening, defined as reaching the following criteria: having clinical symptoms and pleural and peritoneal effusion detected in physical examination at screening; or puncture for drainage required for pleural and peritoneal effusion and/or intracavitary administration during screening.

- Serious cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases
- Other obvious hemorrhagic tendency or evidence on important coagulation disorder
- Medium to large surgical treatment within 4 weeks prior to randomization, not including diagnostic biopsy.

- Serious, uncured wound, active ulcer or untreated bone fracture.
- Vaccination of live vaccine within 30 days prior to randomization.
- Presence of immunodeficiency or receiving long-term systemic steroid therapy within 7 days prior to randomization (daily dose >10mg Prednisone or other equivalent glucocorticoid), or other immunosuppressive therapy.
- Active autoimmune diseases requiring systemic treatment (i.e., immunomodulatory drug, corticosteroid or immunosuppressant) in the past two years; however, replacement therapy (e.g., thyroxine, insulin or physiological corticosteroid replacement therapy for renal or pituitary insufficiency) will not be considered as systemic therapy and is allowed to be used.
- History of clear interstitial lung disease or non-infectious pneumonia, unless induced by local radiotherapy.

- Inability to swallow tablets, malabsorption syndrome or any other condition that affects gastrointestinal absorption.
- Known history of serious allergy to any monoclonal antibody, anti-angiogenesis drug.
