Any serious disease affecting the clinical course of the subject, such as acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, acute or chronic liver disease, severe renal impairment (eGFR < 30 ml/min/1.73 m2 as estimated by CKD-EPI formula or subjects on regular dialysis), severe anemia (hemoglobin < 90 g/L), gastrointestinal surgery or gastrointestinal disease that may affect the absorption of the trial drug, acute or chronic pancreatitis, current urinary or reproductive system infection, any documented active or suspected malignancy or history of malignancy within 1 year before screening 12. Severe hypoglycemia requiring intervention in the past year 13. The presence of any disease that, in the opinion of the investigator, results in a life expectancy of < 1 year, other than heart failure 14. Receiving any other clinical trial of drugs other than this study drug 15. Inability to comply with the schedule of study assessments for follow-up or unsuitability for trial based on the investigator's clinical judgment
