  • Computed Tomography (CT) of the chest shows active or occult tuberculosis or a history of contact with an open tuberculosis (TB) subject within the past 6 months. If the laboratory T cell spot test for tuberculosis infection test (or other tuberculosis diagnostic test) is positive, its activity is judged in combination with the medical history, clinical manifestations, etc., and the investigator determines whether it can be enrolled;
  • Active hepatitis during the screening period, or positive for hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg), or positive for hepatitis B core antibody (HBcAb);
  • History of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection, or positive HIV serological results at screening, and positive antibodies to treponema pallidum during screening
