  • Completion of the last radiation dose within 1 to 7 days before randomization
  • No progression after prior cCRT
  • Adequate marrow function: neutrocyte count≥1.5×10e9/L, hemoglobin ≥90g/L and platelet count ≥100×10e9/L.
  • Alanine Aminotransferase (ALT)/Aspartate Aminotransferase (AST) ≤2.5×upper limit of normal (ULN), and bilirubin ≤ 1.5×ULN.
  • Adequate renal function: creatinine clearance rate ≥ 60 ml/min (Cockcroft-Gault formula).
  • Patients must be informed of the investigational nature of this study and give written informed consent.
  • Women of childbearing potential (WOCBP) who are sexually active must be willing to adhere to effective contraception during treatment and for 1 year after the last dose of study drug.

Exclusion

  • Prior malignancy within 5 years, except in situ cancer, adequately treated non-melanoma skin cancer, and papillary thyroid carcinoma.
  • Has received a live vaccine within 30 days before informed consent or will receive a live vaccine in the near future.

  • Hepatitis C virus (HCV) antibody positive
  • Has active autoimmune disease, except type I diabetes, hypothyroidism treated with replacement therapy, and skin disease that doesn't require systemic treatment (e.g., vitiligo, psoriasis, or alopecia).
  • Has any condition that required systemic corticosteroid (equivalent to prednisone \>10mg/d) or other immunosuppressive therapy within 28 days before informed consent. Patients received systemic corticosteroid equivalent to prednisone ≤10mg/d, inhale or topical corticosteroid will be allowed.
  • Has a known history of active TB (bacillus tuberculosis) within 1 year; patients with adequately treated active TB over 1 year ago will be allowed.
