Eligibility Inclusion Criteria: - Voluntarily agree to participate by giving written informed consent. - Diagnosis: 1. Have a histologically or cytologically confirmed, locally advanced, inoperable and/or metastatic cervical squamous cell carcinoma, cervical adenosquamous cell carcinoma or cervical adenocarcinoma. Note: A pathological report confirmed by histology or cytology of the primary tumor is required for definitive diagnosis. The following cervical tumors are not eligible for inclusion: minimal deviation adenocarcinoma, gastric-type endocervical adenocarcinoma, clear cell adenocarcinoma of the cervix, neuroendocrine carcinoma of the cervix and mesonephric adenocarcinoma. 2. Patients with recurrent/metastatic cervical cancer who have received at least 1 platinum-based systemic therapy (excluding radiosensitizing chemotherapy) (with or without bevacizumab), and experienced recurrence or progression of cervical cancer or were intolerable to chemotherapy toxicity during or after the systemic therapy and were unable to receive radiotherapy or radical surgery again. Note (definition of failure or intolerability of first-line platinum-based chemotherapy): 1. Patients with recurrent or metastatic cervical cancer who have experienced disease progression during platinum-based regimen or have experienced disease progression after receiving =4 cycles of effective platinum-based regimen (complete response/progressive disease/stable disease) or were intolerable to toxicity caused by platinum during/after platinum-based regimen and were not suitable for continuous platinum-based regimen. Or 2. Patients with cervical cancer progressed or relapsed during neoadjuvant or adjuvant chemotherapy with platinum-based regimen (=4 cycles if the platinum-based regimen is effective) or within 6 months after the end of the treatment, are deemed to have failed first-line platinum-based chemotherapy. 3. Programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) positive (combined positive score =1). - Have at least 1 measurable lesion on imaging based on RECIST 1.1. Measurable lesions should have not been treated with topical treatment such as radiotherapy. If the only one measurable lesion has been treated with previous topical treatment (radiotherapy, ablation, vascular intervention, etc.), it is necessary to confirm that the lesion has progressed, otherwise it will be recorded as a non-target lesion. - Have a life expectancy of at least 3 months. - Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status of 0 or 1. - Have satisfactory organ function as indicated by the following laboratory values: 1. Bone marrow: absolute neutrophil count >1.5 × 10^9/liter (L), platelet count >100 × 10^9/L, and hemoglobin >8 grams (g)/deciliter (80 g/deciliter) (without transfusions of blood or blood component within 2 weeks of test); 2.
