6. HCV antibody negative or HCV-RNA negative subjects may enroll; if HCV-RNA positive, subjects must have alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) ≤ 3 × ULN to enroll. Subjects with co-infection of hepatitis B and hepatitis C are excluded (positive for HBsAg or HBcAb, and positive for HCV antibody).

7. Female patients must meet one of the following conditions:

   1. Postmenopausal (defined as no menses for at least 1 year, with no other confirmed causes besides menopause), or
   2. Surgically sterilized (removal of ovaries and/or uterus), or

   3. Of childbearing potential but must meet the following:

      • Serum/urine pregnancy test within 7 days prior to enrollment must be negative;
      • Agree to use contraception with a failure rate of < 1% per year or maintain abstinence (avoiding heterosexual intercourse) (from signing the ICF until at least 6 months after the last dose of the study drug) (contraceptive methods with a failure rate of < 1% per year include bilateral tubal ligation, male sterilization, correct use of hormonal contraceptives that inhibit ovulation, hormone-releasing intrauterine devices, copper intrauterine devices, or condoms);
      • Must not be breastfeeding.
8. Male patients must meet the following: Agree to abstinence (avoiding heterosexual intercourse) or use contraception, as specified: When the partner is a woman of childbearing potential or is pregnant, the male patient must remain abstinent or use a condom during the treatment period and for at least 6 months after the last dose to prevent fetal drug exposure. Periodic abstinence (e.g., calendar, ovulation, symptothermal, or post-ovulation methods) and withdrawal are not acceptable methods of contraception.

Exclusion Criteria:

1. Presence of MSI-H/dMMR patients.

2. Concurrent diseases and medical history:
