   6. any serious, progressive, uncontrolled cardiovascular or cerebrovascular, respiratory, liver, kidney, gastrointestinal, blood, neurological, or psychiatric disorders, or medical measures, medical conditions, etc. that may affect study participation, or may place subjects at undue risk, as determined by the investigator;

3. At the time of screening, laboratory tests and/or 12-lead electrocardiogram showed the following:

   1. Hemoglobin < 100.0 g/L (male) or < 90.0 g/L (female);
   2. White blood cell count < 3.0×109/L;
   3. Neutrophil count < 1.5×109/L;

   6. Total bilirubin (TBIL) > 1.5 times the upper limit of normal (ULN); g) The estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) calculated by the simplified MDRD formula (see Appendix 13.5 for details) is < 60 mL/min/1.73 m², or the serum creatinine is outside the normal range, and the investigator determines that participation in this study is not appropriate;

Hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg), human immunodeficiency virus antibody (HIV), syphilis antibody test, anti-hepatitis C virus (HCV) antibody test positive; If HBsAg is negative but hepatitis B core antibody (HBcAb) positive and hepatitis B virus deoxyribonucleic acid (HBV DNA) positive or above the upper limit of normal;
   8. 12-lead electrocardiogram examination indicates clinically significant abnormalities that may affect the safety of the subject, including but not limited to acute myocardial ischemia, myocardial infarction, severe arrhythmia, or significant QTc prolongation (QTc>500 ms).

4. General situation

   1. Pregnant or lactating women, defined as the female state from pregnancy to termination of pregnancy and positive blood test for human chorionic gonadotropin (β-HCG) during the screening period;
   2. Allergic to the investigational drug or any ingredient in the investigational drug
