9. Negative pregnancy test for females of child-bearing potentials.

10. Patients with reproductive function agreed to take effective contraceptive measures during the treatment and in 6 months after the end of administration.

11. Patients must be able to understand and volunteer to sign the informed consent.

9. Symptomatic congestive heart failure (New York Heart Association Grade II-IV), or NCI-CTCAE v5.0 ≥ 2 arrhythmia, atrial fibrillation of any grade, or clinically significant supraventricular arrhythmia or ventricular arrhythmia requirement for treatment or intervention.
10. Has active infection or an unexplained fever > 38.5°C during screening visits( subjects with tumor fever may be enrolled at the discretion of the investigator).
11. Hepatitis b surface antigen (HBsAg) positive and/or hepatitis b core antibody (HBcAb) positive and HBVDNA>103copies/ml, hepatitis c virus antibody positive .
