Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: 1. Age: 18 to 75 years old, male or female; 2.

Function of vital organs in accordance with the following requirements (excluding the use of any blood components and cell growth factors during screening): 1)Absolute neutrophil count = 1.5 x 10^9/L; platelets = 80 x 10^9/L; haemoglobin = 8.5 g/dL; 2)Thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) =1 times ULN (if abnormal, T3 and T4 levels should be examined at the same time; if T3 and T4 levels are normal, they can be enrolled); 3)Bilirubin =1.5 times ULN; ALT and AST =2.5 times ULN; 4) Serum creatinine =1.5 times ULN. 9. Women of childbearing potential must undergo a negative pregnancy test (ßHCG) prior to initiation of treatment, and women of childbearing potential and men who are sexually active with women of childbearing potential must agree to use effective contraception uninterruptedly for the duration of the treatment period and for 6 months after the administration of the last therapeutic dose; 10. Subjects voluntarily enrolled in the study and signed an informed consent form.

Exclusion criteria
