Background: Combination of antiangiogenic therapy and immune checkpoint inhibitor therapy is reported as an effective antitumor strategy. TQB2450 is a humanized IgG1 monoclonal antibody against programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1). We aimed to assess the activity and safety of TQB2450 plus the antiangiogenic multi-target tyrosine kinase inhibitor anlotinib in patients with recurrent advanced ovarian cancer. Methods: The study with ClinicalTrials.gov identifier NCT04236362 is an open-label, multicohort, and multicenter phase Ib trial evaluating the efficacy and safety of anlotinib combined with TQB2450 in patients with advanced gynecologic cancer. The present study (ACTION study) reports the ovarian cancer cohort. We enrolled patients aged 18–70 years with platinum-resistant or platinum-refractory epithelial ovarian cancer, fallopian tube cancer, or primary peritoneal cancer, an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status of 0 or 1, and measurable disease according to the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST). Eligible patients received anlotinib 12 mg per day orally on days 1 to 14 and TQB2450 1200 mg intravenously on day 1, every three weeks. Treatment continued until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, and withdrawal of consent. The primary endpoint was objective response rate (ORR) assessed by investigators according to RECIST version 1.1. Secondary endpoints included progression-free survival (PFS), duration of response (DOR), overall survival (OS) and safety. Results: Between 21 Feb 2020 and 15 Jan 2021, 33 patients with a median age of 55 years (range, 26-71) were enrolled and received study treatment. Patients had received at least once platinum-based chemotherapy, and the median number of previous chemotherapy lines was 3 (range, 1–6). 30.3% patients had bevacizumab therapy before enrollment. At data cutoff (15 Jan 2021), the median follow-up was 5.1 months (range, 0.1–10.8). In the 25 efficacy-evaluable patients, 13 of them achieved partial response, yielding the ORR of 52.0% (95% CI, 30.4%–71.6%). The median PFS was 6.7 months (95% CI, 4.5 months to not reached). The median duration of response and the median OS were not reached. The treatment-related grade 3 or 4 adverse events (AEs) occurred in 54.5% patients, and the most common ones were palmar-plantar erythrodysesthesia syndrome (21.2%) and hypertension (18.2%). The most potential immune-related AEs included grade 1 to 2 hypothyroidism (24.2%) and fatigue (9.1%). No treatment-related death was recorded. Conclusions: Anlotinib plus TQB2450 showed encouraging antitumor activity and tolerable toxicity in patients with recurrent advanced ovarian cancer. Clinical trial information: NCT04236362
