Interventions

ZKAB001 BIOLOGICAL

ZKAB001＋carboplatin+etoposide

Placebo DRUG

Patients will receive placebo administered by IV infusion every 21days.

placebo + carboplatin + etoposide

Carboplatin DRUG

Carboplatin should be administered after completion of placebo/ZKAB001 by IV infusion over 30-60 minutes to achieve an initial target AUC of 5 mg/mL/min. Carboplatin and etoposide will be used for a total of 4 cycles， followed by placebo/ZKAB001 maintenance therapy.

ZKAB001＋carboplatin+etoposide; placebo + carboplatin + etoposide

Etoposide DRUG

Etoposide (100 mg/m\^2) should be administered intravenously over 60 minutes following carboplatin administration. On Days 2 and 3 of each cycle, etoposide 100 mg/m2) should be administered intravenously over 60 minutes. Carboplatin and etoposide will be used for a total of 4 cycles， followed by placebo/ZKAB001 maintenance therapy.
