Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: 1) Neuroendocrine (carcinoid, islet cell) or pancreatic follicular carcinoma. 2) Untreated active central nervous system metastases or meningeal metastases. 3) Previous treatment of pancreatic cancer with systemic therapies such as targeted, immunotherapy, chemotherapy, and modern herbal medicines with anti-tumour indications, or other therapeutic modalities such as surgery or particle implantation. 4) Surgery for any reason (other than diagnostic biopsy) within 4 weeks of the first dose of trial treatment and/or the subject has not fully recovered from surgery within 4 weeks of the first dose of trial treatment. 5) History of radiotherapy within 3 months of the first dose of trial treatment. No more than 30% bone marrow radiation or extensive radiation should be used within 4 weeks prior to the first dose of trial treatment. 6) History of any second malignancy within the last 2 years. 7) Significant cardiovascular compromise within 12 months prior to the first dose of study drug: e.g., history of congestive heart failure in New York Heart Association (NYHA) class II or higher, unstable angina, myocardial infarction or stroke from a cerebrovascular accident, or cardiac arrhythmia associated with haemodynamic instability; prolongation of the corrected QT (QTc) interval by >480ms. 8) Presence of bleeding or thrombotic disorders or undergoing thrombolytic therapy, coagulation disorders; patients deemed unsuitable by the investigator for participation in this study. 9) Clinically significant haemoptysis or tumour bleeding of any cause within 2 weeks prior to the first dose of study intervention. 10) Patients with uncontrolled epilepsy, history of central nervous system disease or psychiatric disorders, hypertension The investigator will determine whether clinical severity prevents signing of informed consent or affects patient compliance with oral medication. 11) Active autoimmune disease requiring systemic therapy within the past 2 years. 12) May have other concurrent medical conditions that are relative contraindications to this trial. 13) Serious allergic reaction to the active ingredient(s) in this trial. 14) Female patients who are pregnant or breastfeeding, or who do not wish to prepare for pregnancy during the trial. 15) Other medical conditions that, in the opinion of the investigator, interfere with the requirements of the trial in terms of safety or efficacy assessment or treatment compliance. 16) Vulnerable groups, including the mentally ill, cognitively impaired, critically ill, minors, pregnant women, illiterate, etc.
