• Patients with symptomatic central nervous system cancer metastasis or cancerous meningitis. For previously treated patients with central nervous system cancer metastasis, if their condition is stable (there is no evidence of imaging progress at least 4 weeks before the first administration of the trial treatment, and repeated imaging tests confirm that there is no evidence of new brain metastasis or enlargement of the original brain metastasis), they can participate in the trial in the case they do not need steroid therapy within 14 days before the first dose of the trial treatment.
