Intervention

Combination Product:
• LVGN6051 and Anlotinib
LVGN6051: Route of administration is IV infusion, and the frequency of administration is once every 3 weeks(Q3W). One cycle is 3 weeks, and treatment can be up to 35 cycles if patients receive benefits. Anlotinib: Rout of administration is oral. The initial dose of anlotinib was 12 mg for subjects with body surface area = 1.5m2 and 10 mg for subjects with body surface area < 1.5m2. If the subjects in the combined treatment group were not tolerated, the dose of anlotinib was reduced to 10 mg for subjects with body surface area = 1.5m2 and 8 mg for subjects with body surface area < 1.5m2. One cycle is 3 weeks, including oral for 2 weeks and withdrawal for 1 week.
