Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion

Inclusion Criteria:

  1. Volunteer to participate in clinical research; To fully understand and understandthis study and to sign the Informed Consent Form (ICF); Willing to follow and ableto complete all test procedures;

  2. The age of signing ICF is ≥ 18 years old and ≤ 75 years old;

  3. Cohort 1: Metastatic or recurrent cervical cancer including squamous cell,adenocarcinoma or adenosquamous histology confirmed by histopathology or cytology. Cohort 2: Histologically confirmed high-grade serous ovarian, fallopian tube, orprimary peritoneal cancer.

  4. Cohort 1: Previous failure or progression of standard systemic therapy for cervicalcancer (For patients with PD-L1 expression positive [CPS≥1], the standard therapy isdefined as platinum-based chemotherapy in combination with immune checkpointinhibitor (ICI) therapy; for patients with PD-L1 expression negative [CPS<1], thestandard therapy is defined as platinum-based chemotherapy), or intolerabilitytoxicity (CTCAE≥3 adverse events), or contraindications to standard therapy. Cohort 2: Ovarian cancer patients with platinum-resistant disease: If the patienthas previously received only first-line platinum-based chemotherapy, platinumresistance is defined as having received at least 4 cycles of platinum-basedchemotherapy, with the tumor showing a response to platinum-based chemotherapy (besttumor assessment being complete remission/partial remission), and the time from thelast platinum-based chemotherapy to tumor progression being >3 months and ≤6 months.If the patient has previously received multiple lines of platinum-basedchemotherapy, platinum resistance is defined as disease progression occurring duringthe last line of platinum-based chemotherapy treatment or within 6 months after thelast platinum-based chemotherapy.

  5. Within 4 weeks prior to the first administration of the medication, at least onemeasurable target lesion must be evaluated according to the RECIST v1.1 criteria;

  6. Tumor tissue should be provided as much as possible for an evaluable PD-L1expression result at Screening period;

  7. Before the initial administration of the study drug, there should be at least a 3-week interval or 5 times the half-life of the last cytotoxic chemotherapy,immunotherapy, or biological therapy, whichever is shorter. There should be at leasta 2-week interval from the previous small molecule targeted therapy, at least a 1-week interval from traditional Chinese medicine treatment with antitumorindications or minor surgery. Additionally, treatment-related adverse events (AEs)should have recovered to NCI-CTCAE grade ≤ 1 (except for grade 2 peripheralneurotoxicity and alopecia);

  8. The ECOG physical performance score of 0-1 in the week prior to randomization;

  9. Expected survival ≥ 3 months;

  10. Laboratory tests within the previous week confirm adequate organ function (within 14days prior to the first dose of medication, without receiving interventions such asblood transfusions or granulocyte colony-stimulating factor);

  11. Female subjects of childbearing potential must agree to use at least one highlyeffective method of contraception during the trial and for at least 6 months afterthe last dose of the study drug. Female subjects of childbearing potential must havea negative pregnancy test within 7 days prior to enrollment.

Exclusion

Exclusion Criteria:

  1. History of any second malignant tumor within the first 2 years prior torandomization;

  2. Subjects who are preparing for or have previously received an organ or bone marrowtransplant;

  3. Symptomatic, untreated, or progressively worsening central nervous system (CNS) orleptomeninges metastases;

  4. After appropriate intervention, uncontrollable pleural effusion, pericardialeffusion or ascites still need to be drained frequently;

  5. Present with grade ≥1 radiation pneumonia as defined by RTOG/EORTC; A history ofinterstitial lung disease (ILD) or imaging findings during screening that suggestsuch disease is suspected; Or there are lung diseases leading to clinical severerespiratory impairment;

  6. Subjects exhibit poorly controlled cardiovascular clinical symptoms or diseases,including but not limited to: (1) NYHA class II or above heart failure, or leftventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) < 50%; (2) unstable angina; (3) myocardialinfarction or cerebrovascular accident within the last 6 months (excluding lacunarinfarction, minor ischemic stroke, or transient ischemic attack); (4) uncontrolledarrhythmias (including QTc interval ≥ 450 ms for males, ≥ 470 ms for females) (QTcinterval calculated by Fridericia's formula); (5) poorly controlled hypertension (systolic blood pressure > 150 mmHg and/or diastolic blood pressure > 100 mmHgdespite active treatment);

  7. Previous occurrence of adverse events leading to permanent discontinuation ofimmunotherapy; or A history of ≥ Grade 2 immune-related pneumonia or myocarditis;

  8. Active or suspected autoimmune disease. Patients with autoimmune-relatedhypothyroidism who are undergoing thyroid hormone replacement therapy are permittedto participate in the study; patients with controlled Type 1 diabetes mellitusreceiving insulin therapy are also allowed to participate in the study;

  9. Received systemic corticosteroids (prednisone >10 mg/day or an equivalent dose ofsimilar drugs) or other immunosuppressive treatments within 14 days prior to thefirst dose; with the following exceptions: use of topical, ophthalmic,intra-articular, intranasal, and inhaled corticosteroids; short-term use ofcorticosteroids for prophylactic treatment during situations such as the use ofcontrast agents;

  10. Within the 2 weeks prior to randomization, there is the presence of an activesystemic infectious disease requiring intravenous antibiotic treatment;

  11. Live vaccinations or attenuated live vaccinations should not be administered within 4 weeks prior to the initial dosing. Administration of inactivated viral vaccinesfor seasonal influenza is permitted;

  12. Used strong inhibitors or strong inducers of CYP2D6 or CYP3A within 2 weeks prior torandomization;

  13. Known history of severe allergic reactions to macromolecular proteinpreparations/monoclonal antibodies, or allergy to components of the trial drugformulation; Previously received ADC drugs with topoisomerase I inhibitors astoxins.

  14. Active tuberculosis;

  15. Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection;

  16. Active Hepatitis B or Hepatitis C virus (HBV or HCV) infection or HBV/HCVco-infection;

  17. Pregnant or lactating women;

  18. The researcher deems that the subject has any other factors that make themunsuitable for participation in this trial.
