Intolerance to platinum-based chemotherapy; 5. At least one measurable lesion as per RECIST v1.1 within 4 weeks prior to randomization; Note: Measurable target lesions should not be selected from previous radiotherapy sites or brain lesions. A measurable lesion within the field of local radiotherapy can be selected as the target lesion only when it is the only optional target lesion and the imaging evidence before and after progression should be available.\n\n6\\. Subjects who agree to provide archived tumor tissue specimens that meet the testing requirements (either from the most recent surgery or biopsy, preferably within 2 years) or agree to undergo a biopsy to collect tumor tissues for PD-L1 and EGFR expression testing; Note: Formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tumor samples (paraffin blocks or unstained sections, which must meet the quality control criteria for testing) collected from non-radiotherapy sites during the most recent surgery or biopsy at or after the diagnosis of malignant tumor and pathological reports of such specimens shall also be provided.\n\n7\\. The following conditions must be met in terms of the time of the first administration of the investigational product: at least 3 weeks (or 5 half-lives of the drug, whichever is shorter) from the previous major surgery, medical device treatment, locoregional radiotherapy (except for palliative radiotherapy for bone lesions), cytotoxic chemotherapy, or immunotherapy; at least 1 week from the administration of the traditional Chinese medicine for anti-cancer indications or minor surgery; and recovery of treatment-induced AEs to Grade ≤ 1 (CTCAE v5.0, except for Grade 2 peripheral neurotoxicity and alopecia); 8.

Subjects with current and prior history of clinically significant pulmonary impairment due to pulmonary comorbidities, including but not limited to: any underlying lung disease (e.g., pulmonary embolism, severe asthma, severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, restrictive lung disease, interstitial pneumonia, pneumoconiosis, and drug-related pneumonitis within 3 months prior to the first dose), any autoimmune, connective tissue, or inflammatory disease that may involve the lungs (i.e., rheumatoid arthritis, Sjogren's syndrome, and sarcoidosis), prior pneumonectomy that may interfere with the detection and management of suspected drug-related pulmonary toxicity, or history of radiation pneumonitis within 6 months;\n10. Patients with any poorly-controlled cardiovascular and cerebrovascular clinical symptoms or diseases, including but not limited to:\n\n(1) NYHA Class II or greater heart failure or left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) \\< 50%; (2) unstable angina pectoris; (3) myocardial infarction or cerebrovascular accident within 6 months (except lacunar infarction, slight cerebral ischemia, or transient ischemic attack); (4) poorly controlled arrhythmia (including QTc interval ≥ 470 ms) (QTc interval is calculated by Fridericia's formula); (5) poorly-controlled hypertension (systolic blood pressure \\> 150 mmHg and/or diastolic blood pressure \\> 100 mmHg after active treatment); 11.

Patients with active tuberculosis; 18. Patients with a history of immunodeficiency, including human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-positive or other acquired or congenital immunodeficiencies, or history of organ transplantation; 19. Patients with active HBV or HCV infection or HBV/HCV co-infection; Note: Patients who test positive for HBsAg or HBcAb during screening must further undergo HBV-DNA testing. If the test result suggests \\< 500 IU/mL, \\< 2500 copies/mL, or \\< ULN, the patient can be enrolled. Patients with HBV-DNA detected must agree to receive treatment with anti-HBV nucleos(t)ide analogues during the study.\n\nPatients who test positive for HCV antibody must further undergo HCV-RNA testing. If the test result suggests \\< ULN, the patient can be enrolled.\n\nPatients with HBV/HCV co-infection (positive for HBsAg or HBcAb and positive for HCV antibody) must be excluded.\n\n20\\.
