Blood routine (no blood transfusion, erythropoietin (EPO), granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) or granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) treatment within 14 days before screening examination) : neutrophils ≥1.5× L09 /L, platelets ≥100×109/L, hemoglobin ≥90g/L; II. Liver function: ALT and AST, ALT and AST≤3×ULN in patients without liver metastasis, ALT and AST≤5×ULN in patients with liver metastasis;Total bilirubin (TBil) ≤1.5×ULN (Gilbert syndrome patients, ≤3 ×ULN); Iii. Renal function: Serum creatinine (CR) ≤1.5×ULN or creatinine clearance (CCR) ≥50ml/ min (subjects receiving carboplatin) or ≥60ml/ min (subjects receiving cisplatin); IV. Coagulation function: APTT, INR, PT ≤1.5×ULN; V. Echocardiography: left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) ≥50%; 10) Women should agree to use contraceptives (such as intrauterine devices \[IUDs\], contraceptives or condoms) during the study period and for 6 months after the end of the study;Negative blood pregnancy test within 7 days prior to study enrolment and must be non-lactating;Men should agree to use contraception during the study period and within 6 months after the end of the study period.

You may not qualify if:

• \) The patient had necrotic lesions and was judged by the investigator to be at risk of massive bleeding; 2) A history of hypersensitivity to amlotinib or pabrizumab or any excipients; 3) Previous use of antiangiogenic drugs (such as amlotinib, apatinib, bevacizumab, Endox, etc.); 4) The patient is using (or cannot be discontinued within 1 week prior to the first dosing of the study treatment) a Chinese herbal medicine indicated for antitumor use; 5) poorly controlled pleural effusion, pericardial effusion or ascites requiring frequent drainage;Patients with indwelling catheters (such as the Pleurx ® catheter) are allowed to participate; 6) At the beginning of study treatment, there was still an uncured toxic reaction from previous treatment and CTCAE 5.0 was higher than level 1 (except for alopecia); 7) Spinal cord compression or symptomatic untreated brain or spinal cord metastases (except asymptomatic, stable condition, and no need for steroid therapy for 4 weeks prior to study treatment); 8) poorly controlled tumor-related pain.Patients who require analgesics must receive a steady dose before entering the study.Symptomatic lesions suitable for palliative radiotherapy (e.g., bone metastases or metastases leading to nerve damage) should be treated before enrolment.Prior to enrolment, local-regional treatment of asymptomatic metastatic lesions with further growth that may result in functional deficits or intractable pain (e.g., epidural metastases currently not associated with spinal cord compression) should be considered, if appropriate.
