12. The subject or their authorized guardian agrees to participate in this clinical trial and signs the informed consent form (ICF), indicating understanding of the trial's purpose and procedures and willingness to participate in the study.

Exclusion Criteria:

1. Clinically symptomatic central nervous system metastasis or meningeal metastasis at screening, or other evidence indicating that central nervous system or meningeal metastasis has not been controlled, as determined by the investigator, making the patient unsuitable for enrollment.
2. Participation in another clinical trial within 1 month prior to screening.
3. Receipt of live attenuated vaccines within 4 weeks prior to screening.
4. Received the following anti-tumor treatments within 14 days or at least 5 half-lives (whichever is shorter) prior to screening: chemotherapy, targeted therapy, or other experimental drug treatments.
5. Active infection requiring systemic treatment or an uncontrolled infection.
6. Bowel obstruction, active gastrointestinal bleeding, or a history of major gastrointestinal bleeding within the last 3 months, or severe gastrointestinal conditions such as severe gastric or duodenal ulcers, severe ulcerative colitis, or other severe gastrointestinal inflammations.
7. Toxicity from prior anti-tumor treatments has not improved to baseline levels or ≤ grade 1, except for alopecia or peripheral neuropathy.
8. Any of the following cardiac conditions:

   1. New York Heart Association (NYHA) Class III or IV congestive heart failure;
   2. Myocardial infarction or coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) within 6 months prior to enrollment;
   3. Clinically significant ventricular arrhythmias, or history of unexplained syncope (excluding cases due to vasovagal or dehydration);
   4. Severe non-ischemic cardiomyopathy.
9. Active autoimmune diseases or other conditions requiring long-term use of immunosuppressive therapy.
10. History of another malignancy within the past 3 years, excluding treated and stable in situ cervical cancer or basal cell carcinoma of the skin.
11. Positive for hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) or hepatitis B core antibody (HBcAb) with peripheral blood hepatitis B virus (HBV) DNA levels above the normal range; positive for hepatitis C virus (HCV) antibodies with peripheral blood HCV RNA levels above the normal range; positive for HIV antibodies; or positive for syphilis testing.
12. Pregnant or breastfeeding women.
13. Any other conditions that, in the opinion of the investigator, make the patient unsuitable for participation in the study.
