• Male or female patients of childbearing potential voluntarily use an effective method of contraception, such as dual barrier methods, condoms, oral or injectable contraceptives, intrauterine devices, etc. during the study and for 6 months after the last study medication. All female patients will be considered fertile unless they have undergone natural menopause, artificial menopause, or sterilization (e.g., hysterectomy, bilateral adnophorectomy, or radioactive ovarian irradiation).

Exclusion criteria

• The pathological types of the patients were mixed with components of small cell lung cancer, neuroendocrine carcinoma, sarcoma, salivary gland tumor and mesenchymal tumor.

• The tumor is surrounded by large blood vessels, and there is a potential risk of hemoptysis after anlotinib treatment;
• Presence of symptomatic or clinically significant thyroid dysfunction at screening (hypothyroidism controlled only with thyroid hormone replacement could be included);
• Patients who have been diagnosed with immunodeficiency or are receiving systemic glucocorticoid therapy or any other form of immunosuppressive therapy (prednisone at a dose of >10mg/ day or other equivalent efficacy hormone) and continue to use it within 2 weeks before the first dose;

Alternative therapies (e.g., thyroxine, insulin, or physiological doses of corticosteroids for adrenal or pituitary insufficiency) were not considered systemic treatments. Patients who were positive for autoimmune antibodies were eligible for enrollment after investigator evaluation to confirm the absence of autoimmune disease requiring systemic treatment. ;
• Vaccination or attenuated vaccine within 4 weeks before enrollment;
• Received approved or investigational systemic anti-tumor therapy within 4 weeks before enrollment, including chemotherapy, radical radiotherapy, biological immunotherapy, targeted therapy, and traditional Chinese medicine therapy (traditional Chinese medicine therapy with clear indications for anti-tumor, after a 3-week washout period can also be enrolled);
• Participated in clinical trials of other drugs not yet approved or marketed in China and received treatment with corresponding drugs within 4 weeks before enrollment;
• Patients who underwent major surgery or unhealed wounds, ulcers, or fractures within 4 weeks before enrollment;
• International normalized ratio (INR) >1.5 or activated partial prothrombin time (APTT) >1.5×ULN; twelve Electrolyte abnormalities that were judged by the investigator to be clinically significant;
• Patients have drug-uncontrolled hypertension defined as systolic blood pressure ≥140 mmHg and/or diastolic blood pressure ≥90 mmHg;
• The patient has any current disease or condition that affects drug absorption or the patient is unable to take anlotinib orally;
• Patients with active gastric and duodenal ulcer, ulcerative colitis and other gastrointestinal diseases or unresected tumors with active bleeding, or other conditions that may cause gastrointestinal bleeding or perforation as judged by the investigators;
• Patients with evidence or history of significant bleeding tendency within 3 months before enrollment (bleeding >30 mL within 3 months, hematemesis, melena, hematochezia), hemoptysis (>5 mL of fresh blood within 4 weeks) or thromboembolic events (including stroke events and/or transient ischemic attack) within 12 months;
• Grade 1 or above myocardial ischemia, myocardial infarction or severe arrhythmia (including QTc≥450 ms(male), QTc≥ 470ms(female) and NYHA class 1 or above congestive heart failure;
• Other malignant tumors in the past 5 years, excluding basal cell or squamous cell carcinoma of the skin after radical resection, or carcinoma in situ of the cervix;
• Severe active or uncontrolled infection (≥CTCAE v5.0 grade 2 infection);
• Known human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection; A known history of clinically significant liver disease, including viral hepatitis (known hepatitis B virus (HBV) carriers must rule out active HBV infection, defined as HBV DNA positivity (>1×104 copies /mL or >2000 IU/ml); Known hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection and HCV RNA positive (>1×103 copies /mL), or other hepatitis, liver cirrhosis] (excluding patients with previous antiviral treatment, the relevant test results returned to normal);
• Tuberculosis that is active or currently in need of medical intervention, including but not limited to tuberculosis;
• A history of acute or chronic pancreatitis, pancreatic surgery, or risk factors that may increase the risk of pancreatitis;
• Has not fully recovered from any intervention-induced toxicity and/or complications before enrollment (i.e., > grade 1 or not recovered to baseline required levels);

• Any other medical condition, clinically significant metabolic, physical or laboratory abnormality, medical history, disease, treatment or laboratory abnormality that may interfere with the results of the trial or prevent the subject from participating fully in the study, in the investigator's judgment, There is a reason to suspect that the patient has a disease or condition (e.g., having seizures and requiring treatment) that would be inappropriate for the study drug, that would affect the interpretation of the study results, or that the investigator believes that participation in the study would not be in the subject's best interest;
• The presence of any clinically significant systemic disease that is judged by the investigator to require treatment, including but not limited to thyroid disease (patients with stable thyroid function after hormone replacement therapy can be enrolled), organ transplant recipient, history of mental illness, and history of drug abuse/addiction, alcohol or drug abuse;
• Local or systemic disease that is not caused by malignancy, or a secondary reaction to cancer, and may result in a high medical risk and/or uncertainty in the evaluation of survival.
