Study Design The study plans to enroll 38 patients. A Simon's two-stage design is employed. Based on historical data, the objective response rate (ORR) for patients meeting the inclusion criteria and receiving PD-1 inhibitor monotherapy is approximately 30%. The expected ORR for the combination of Pucotenlimab and Vebreltus is 55%. With a one-sided α=0.05 and 80% power, 9 patients will be enrolled in the first stage. If ≥2 patients achieve a partial response (PR) or complete response (CR), the study will proceed to the second stage. An additional 25 patients will be enrolled in the second stage, resulting in a total of 34 patients. If ≥15 patients in the total population achieve a PR, the study endpoint is considered met. Accounting for a 10% dropout rate, a total of 38 patients will be enrolled. Study Procedures After providing full informed consent and passing screening, eligible subjects will receive treatment with Vebreltus 2.0 mg/kg and Pucotenlimab 200 mg. On the first day of each treatment cycle, patients will receive an intravenous infusion of Pucotenlimab (infusion duration: 60 min ± 15 min, with the first cycle infusion lasting no less than 60 minutes). At least 30 minutes after the completion of the Pucotenlimab infusion, the Vebreltus infusion will commence (infusion duration: 60 min ± 15 min, with the first cycle infusion lasting no less than 60 minutes). Patients will receive the combination therapy once every 3 weeks until completion of 2 years of treatment or until the occurrence of a protocol-defined treatment discontinuation event. Following the end of treatment, each subject will undergo a 30-day (+7 days) safety follow-up to monitor adverse events and clinically relevant events. Post-treatment survival follow-up will be conducted every 12 weeks (±7 days). For subjects who discontinue treatment for reasons other than disease progression/death and do not initiate new anti-cancer therapy, tumor imaging assessments will continue per the original schedule until disease progression, initiation of new anti-cancer therapy, withdrawal of consent, loss to follow-up, or death, whichever occurs first. After enrollment, tumor response will be assessed according to RECIST v1.1 and iRECIST criteria. Imaging evaluations will be performed every 6 weeks (±7 days) from the first dose for the first 54 weeks, and then every 9 weeks (±7 days) thereafter (regardless of any delays in study drug administration), until iRECIST-confirmed progressive disease (iPD), initiation of new anti-cancer therapy, withdrawal of informed consent, loss to follow-up, or death, whichever occurs first. Exploratory Analysis This study will analyze the correlation between biomarkers in patient tumor tissue/blood samples (e.g., EGFR expression, PD-L1 CPS score, TILs) collected before and after treatment and clinical efficacy endpoints (e.g., ORR, PFS, DoR).

The medications are administered via intravenous infusion. Pucotenlimab is given at a fixed dose of 200 mg, The infusion time is 60 ± 15 minutes (if infusion-related reactions occur, the infusion duration may be extended, up to a maximum of 4 hours). Dosing occurs on the first day of each 3-week cycle (Q3W). Pucotenlimab should be given first. For the first cycle, the infusion time for both drugs must not be less than 60 minutes.
The medications are administered via intravenous infusion. Becotatug Vedotin is dosed at 2.0 mg/kg based on the patient's actual body weight. The infusion time for Becotatug Vedotin is 60 ± 15 minutes (if infusion-related reactions occur, the infusion duration may be extended, up to a maximum of 4 hours). Dosing occurs on the first day of each 3-week cycle (Q3W). The infusion of Becotatug Vedotin should start at least 30 minutes after the completion of the Pucotenlimab infusion. For the first cycle, the infusion time must not be less than 60 minutes.

Objective Response Rate
ORR is defined as the proportion of subjects achieving confirmed Complete Response (CR) or Partial Response (PR) as assessed by the investigator according to RECIST v1.1 and iRECIST criteria. ORR analysis will be based on the Full Analysis Set (FAS)
Time frame: up to 2 years
Disease Control Rate
Disease Control Rate (DCR) is defined as the proportion of subjects assessed by the Independent Review Committee (IRC) according to RECIST v1.1 criteria who achieve CR, PR, or Stable Disease (SD) (lasting for at least 6 weeks from the first dose), along with the exact 95% CI using the Clopper-Pearson method.
Time frame: up to 2 years
Progression-Free Survival
Progression-Free Survival (PFS) is defined as the time from enrollment to the first occurrence of disease progression or death from any cause. For subjects without observed progression or death, PFS will be censored at the time of the last valid and adequate assessment. PFS analysis will be based on the FAS. The median PFS and its 95% CI will be estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method, and progression-free survival curves will be generated.
Time frame: up to 2 years
Duration of Response
Duration of Response (DOR) is defined as the time from the first documented evidence of response (PR or CR according to RECIST v1.1 and iRECIST criteria, whichever is later) to the first documented disease progression (PD) or death from any cause, whichever occurs first, in subjects with a confirmed response. For subjects without observed progression or death, DOR will be censored at the time of the last adequate tumor assessment. DOR analysis will be performed on subjects who achieve CR or PR. The median DOR and its 95% CI will be estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method, and duration of response curves will be generated.
Time frame: up to 2 years
Overall Survival
Overall Survival (OS) is defined as the time from enrollment to death from any cause. For subjects not followed up to death, OS will be censored at the time of the last valid survival follow-up. Based on the FAS, the median OS (if applicable) and its 95% CI will be estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method, and survival curves will be plotted.
Time frame: up to 2 years
