Study Arms (2)

PD-1 antibody plus chemoradiotherapy

EXPERIMENTAL

Patients randomized to this arm will receive three cycles of PD-1 antibody (JS001, 240mg every three weeks) combined with GP chemotherapy, then receive IMRT and PD-1 antibody maintenance for eight cycles.

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Patients randomized to this arm will receive three cycles of GP chemotherapy, then receive IMRT alone.

Drug: GPRadiation: IMRT
