Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm	Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: Experimental group; Drug: SIBP-R002 & Dexamethasone/Methyl prednisolone & Diphenhydramine Starting from the lowest dose, when the former dose does not meet the termination criteria, then start the next dose group study until Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD).
