• Arm 1: subjects who have not received previous systemic therapy for extensive-stage SCLC; Or patients who had received definitive chemoradiotherapy for limited-stage small cell lung cancer but had disease progression > 6 months later;Arm 2：ES-SCLC patients who progressed after only one PD-1/PD-L1 combination chemotherapy and had response to previous treatment (PFS ≥ 3 months), no more than two systemic chemotherapy regimens were used；
• The investigator confirms the presence of at least one measurable lesion according to RECIST 1.1 criteria;
• Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 0-2;
• Adequate hematologic function, defined as absolute neutrophil count (ANC) >= 1.5 x 10^9/L, platelet count >= 100 x 10^9/L, hemoglobin >= 90 g/L (without transfusion history within 7 days);
• Adequate liver function, defined as total bilirubin level <= 1.5 times the upper limit of normal (ULN) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) levels <= 2.5 times ULN in all patients, or <= 5 times ULN in patients with liver metastases;
• Adequate renal function, defined as serum creatinine <= 1.5 times ULN;
• Adequate coagulation function, defined as international normalized ratio (INR) or prothrombin time (PT) <= 1.5 times ULN; for subjects receiving anticoagulant therapy, INR/PT should be within the range planned by the anticoagulant;
• Women of childbearing potential must have a negative pregnancy test within 7 days before starting treatment, and must use reliable contraceptive measures (such as intrauterine device, contraceptive pills, and condoms) during the trial and for 30 days after the end of the trial; male subjects of reproductive potential must use condoms for contraception during the trial and for 30 days after the end of the trial;
• Willingness to comply with regular follow-up visits and trial requirements.
• Participants were required to provide 10 or more unstained FFPE pathological slides (preferably newly obtained tumor tissue) archived or freshly obtained within 3 months prior to the first dose of medication. Tumor lesions used for fresh-tissue biopsy should not be used as RECIST v1.1 target lesions unless they are the only measurable lesion. The collection of archived tumor-tissue samples beyond 3 months of age was permitted, with the consent of the medical monitor, if no samples were available within 3 months of age and biopsy, as judged by the investigator, might increase the risk to the subject. If more than 10 slides were not available, some or all of the slides could be waived with investigator approval；
• Participants were required to provide approximately 10 unstained FFPE tumor tissue slides for efficacy biomarker exploration. If it cannot be provided, it can be exempted after approval from the investigator and will not affect the Participants participation in this study；
