Study Description

In this phase II study, eligible patients are enrolled to receive toripalimab 240mg, ivdrip, Q3W to evaluate the anti-tumor efficacy and safety. After 2 and 4 cycles of toripalimab treatment, tumors are assessed, and patients are assigned to receive surgery or withdraw from study according to their anti-tumor efficacy. For patients withdrawing from study, routine treatment would be given. For patients staying in study, toripalimab would be administered for up to 2 years.
