Condition(s) studied
Investigational drug(s) / intervention(s)
Penpulimab: Arm A: Penpulimab (200 mg, administered on Day 1 of each cycle, Q3W) +cisplatin (80 mg/m2) or carboplatin (AUC 5) (administered on Day 1 of each cycle, Q3W, up to 6 cycles) + gemcitabine (1000 mg/ m2, administered on Days 1 and 8 of each cycle, Q3W, up to 6 cycles), 3 weeks (21 days) per cycle; followed by penpulimab (200 mg, administered on Day 1 of each cycle, Q3W) as maintenance treatment.
placebo: Arm B: Placebo (200 mg, administered on Day 1 of each cycle, Q3W) + cisplatin (80 mg/m2) or carboplatin (AUC 5) (administered on Day 1 of each cycle, Q3W, up to 6 cycles) + gemcitabine (1000 mg/m2, administered on Days 1 and 8 of each cycle, Q3W, up to 6 cycles), every 3 weeks (21 days) per cycle; followed by placebo(200 mg, administered on Day 1 of each cycle, Q3W) as maintenance treatment. Subjects in Arm B will have the opportunity to crossover to openlabel treatment with penpulimab monotherapy after radiographic disease progression.
