17. History of active tuberculosis, drug-induced interstitial lung disease, or ≥ Grade 2 pulmonitis;

19. Patients with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) positive;
20. Active hepatitis B or C. Active hepatitis B is defined as hepatitis B core antibody (HBcAb) or hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) positive, and HBV DNA level above the upper limit of normal at the study site; Active hepatitis C is defined as positive hepatitis C antibody and HCV RNA level above the upper limit of normal at the study site;
21. Patients with endocrine defects that have been controlled by hormone replacement therapy can be enrolled, such as type I diabetes, hypothyroidism, etc. The following patients should be evaluated for target organ involvement and the need for systemic therapy at the discretion of the investigator, such as patients with concurrent rheumatoid arthritis and other joint diseases, Sjogren's syndrome, celiac disease and psoriasis that have been controlled after topical medication, as well as patients with positive serological tests e.g. antinuclear antibodies (ANA), anti-thyroid antibodies, etc.;
