Arm A: Penpulimab (200 mg, administered on Day 1 of each cycle, Q3W) +cisplatin (80 mg/m2) or carboplatin (AUC 5) (administered on Day 1 of each cycle, Q3W, up to 6 cycles) + gemcitabine (1000 mg/ m2, administered on Days 1 and 8 of each cycle, Q3W, up to 6 cycles), 3 weeks (21 days) per cycle; followed by penpulimab (200 mg, administered on Day 1 of each cycle, Q3W) as maintenance treatment.
Arm B: Placebo (200 mg, administered on Day 1 of each cycle, Q3W) + cisplatin (80 mg/m2) or carboplatin (AUC 5) (administered on Day 1 of each cycle, Q3W, up to 6 cycles) + gemcitabine (1000 mg/m2, administered on Days 1 and 8 of each cycle, Q3W, up to 6 cycles), every 3 weeks (21 days) per cycle; followed by placebo(200 mg, administered on Day 1 of each cycle, Q3W) as maintenance treatment. Subjects in Arm B will have the opportunity to crossover to openlabel treatment with penpulimab monotherapy after radiographic disease progression.
Progression-free survival (PFS)
PFS assessed by BIRC based on RECIST v1.1 .
Time frame: Up to 2 years
Overall survival(OS)
OS is defined as the time from the date of randomization to death from any cause.
Time frame: Up to 4 years
Objective response rate (ORR)
ORR is the proportion of subjects with CR or PR based on RECIST v1.1.
Time frame: Up to 2 years
Duration of response (DoR)
DoR 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.
Time frame: Up to 2 years
Disease control rate (DCR)
DCR is defined as the proportion of subjects with CR, PR, or SD, based on RECIST v1.1;
Time frame: Up to 2 years
Adverse event (AE)
An AE is any untoward medical occurrence in a participant, temporally associated with the use of study treatment, whether or not considered related to the study treatment
Time frame: From the time of informed consent signed through 90 days after the last dose of penpulimab
Maximum observed concentration (Cmax)
Serum concentrations of penpulimab in individual subjects at different time points after penpulimab administration.
Time frame: From first dose of penpulimab through 30 days after last dose of penpulimab

Anti-drug antibodies (ADA)
Number and percentage of subjects with detectable anti-drug antibody (ADA).
Time frame: From first dose of penpulimab through 30 days after last dose of penpulimab
PD-L1 expression
Detect PD-L1 expression in tumor samples and evaluate the correlation between PD-L1 and efficacy.
Time frame: Baseline (Tumor tissue samples must be provided to the research center or central laboratory prior to initial administration).
Blood EBV level
Detect the blood EBV level at baseline and changes after administration and evaluate the correlation between EBV and efficacy
Time frame: Up to 2 years
