Exclusion Criteria:

Disease-specific exclusion criteria:

* Patients with uncontrollable brain metastases;
* Subjects expected to require any form of antitumor treatment during the study, including maintenance therapy with other drugs, chemotherapy, and/or surgical resection.

Exclusion criteria for medical history and comorbidities:

* Subjects who have required systemic treatment with corticosteroids (\>10 mg/day of prednisone or equivalent) or other immunosuppressants within 14 days before the first dose. Inhalational or topical corticosteroids are allowed in the absence of active autoimmune diseases;
* Subjects who have been treated with anticancer immunotherapies or other immunostimulatory anticancer drugs (interferons, interleukins, thymosin, immune cell therapy, etc.) within 3 months before the first dose;
* Subjects participating in other clinical trials or whose first dose is less than 4 weeks (or 5 half-lives of the study drug) after the end of the previous clinical trial (last dose);
* Subjects with severe cardiovascular diseases, such as those meeting NYHA Class II or higher criteria, myocardial infarction, or cerebrovascular accidents (cerebral ischemia, symptomatic cerebral embolism, etc.) occurring within 3 months before the first dose, or unstable arrhythmias or unstable angina within 1 month before starting study treatment;
* Subjects with uncontrolled myocardial ischemia or myocardial infarction, poorly controlled arrhythmias are excluded;
* Subjects with hypertension that cannot be well controlled by antihypertensive medication (systolic blood pressure ≥150 mmHg or diastolic blood pressure ≥100 mmHg) (Note: a stable antihypertensive regimen should be in place within 1 week before the first dose);
* Subjects who have had significant clinically relevant bleeding symptoms or a clear bleeding tendency within 3 months before the first dose, as well as tumors that have invaded major blood vessels or, in the investigator's judgment, are highly likely to invade major blood vessels and cause major bleeding during treatment. Subjects with obvious hemoptysis, coughing up 2.5 mL or more of blood in the month before the first dose;
* Subjects who have experienced arterial/venous thrombotic events, such as cerebrovascular accidents (including transient ischemic attacks, cerebral hemorrhage, cerebral embolism), deep vein thrombosis, and pulmonary embolism, within 3 months before screening;
* Subjects with active tuberculosis;
* Subjects who have had a serious infection within 4 weeks before the first dose, including but not limited to infections requiring hospitalization, bacteremia, severe pneumonia, etc.; Subjects with any active infection;
* Subjects preparing for or who have previously undergone tissue/organ transplantation;
* Subjects with uncontrolled epilepsy, central nervous system disorders, or neurological diseases resulting in cognitive impairment;
* Subjects with a history of splenectomy.

Other exclusion criteria:

* Pregnant or breastfeeding women;
* Subjects with a severe history of allergies or atopic constitution;
* Subjects with a history of chronic alcohol or drug abuse within 6 months before enrollment;
* Subjects deemed unsuitable for the study by the investigator.
