Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures :

1. AE [ Time Frame: From the time of informed consent signed through 90 days after the last dose of AK104 ]
   An AE is defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a participant administered a pharmaceutical product temporally associated with the use of study treatment, whether or not considered related to the study treatment

Secondary Outcome Measures :

1. Objective response rate (ORR) [ Time Frame: Up to 2 years ]
   The ORR is defined as the proportion of subjects with confirmed CR or confirmed PR, based on RECIST Version 1.1.
2. Duration of response (DoR) [ Time Frame: Up to 2 years ]
   Duration of response is defined as the duration from the first documentation of objective response to the first documented disease progression or death due to any cause, whichever occurs first.
3. Disease control rate (DCR) [ Time Frame: Up to 2 years ]
   The DCR is defined as the proportion of subjects with CR, PR, or SD (subjects achieving SD will be included in the DCR if they maintain SD for ≥8 weeks) based on RECIST Version 1.1.
4. Progression-free survival (PFS) [ Time Frame: Up to 2 years ]
   Progression-free survival is defined as the time from the start of treatment with AK104 until the first documentation of disease progression or death due to any cause, whichever occurs first.
5. Overall survival (OS) [ Time Frame: Up to 2 years ]
   Overall survival is defined as the time from the start of treatment with AK104 until death due to any cause.
6. Minimum observed concentration (Cmin) of AK104 at steady state [ Time Frame: From first dose of AK104 through 30 days after last dose of AK104 ]
   The endpoints for assessment of PK of AK104 include serum concentrations of AK105 at different timepoints after AK104 administration.
7. Number of subjects who develop detectable anti-drug antibodies (ADAs) [ Time Frame: From first dose of AK104 through 30 days after last dose of AK104 ]
   The immunogenicity of AK104 will be assessed by summarizing the number of subjects who develop detectable anti-drug antibodies (ADAs).
8. Expression of PD-L1 in tumor tissue samples [ Time Frame: Baseline (Tumor tissue samples must be provided to the research center or central laboratory prior to initial administration) ]
   PD-L1 expression will be determined by IHC in the central laboratory.
