2. Have received or are receiving any of the following:

* being treated with an immunosuppressive drug, or systemic hormone, for immunosuppression within 2 weeks before the first dose of the study drug (dose\> 10mg/ day prednisone or equivalent); Inhaled or topical steroid use and dosage are allowed in the absence of active autoimmune disease; Prednisone 10mg/ day or equivalent dose of adrenocortical hormone replacement;

* received live attenuated vaccine within 4 weeks before the first dose of study drug;

* major surgery or severe trauma within 4 weeks before the first dose of study drug;

3. Have any active autoimmune disease or history of autoimmune disease, including but not limited to: interstitial pneumonia, enteritis, hepatitis, hypophysitis, vasculitis, nephritis, hyperthyroidism, hypothyroidism (may be considered after hormone replacement therapy); Patients with psoriasis or complete remission of childhood asthma/allergies without any intervention in adulthood were considered for inclusion, but patients requiring medical intervention with bronchodilators were not included.

4. A history of immunodeficiency, including HIV positive, other acquired or congenital immunodeficiency diseases, or organ transplantation or allogeneic bone marrow transplantation;

5. The presence of uncontrolled cardiac symptoms or diseases, including but not limited to: (1) heart failure above NYHA class II, (2) unstable angina, (3) myocardial infarction within 1 year, (4) clinically significant supraventricular or ventricular arrhythmias without or poorly controlled after clinical intervention; (5) patients with hypertension that is not well controlled with a single antihypertensive drug (systolic blood pressure ≥150 mmHg, diastolic blood pressure ≥100mmHg), or patients using two or more antihypertensive drugs to control blood pressure; (6) New York Heart Association (NYHA) functional class \> Grade II or left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) \< 50%;

6. Severe infection (CTCAE \> 2) occurred within 4 weeks before the first dose of study drug, such as severe pneumonia requiring hospitalization, bacteremia, and infectious complications; Prophylactic antibiotics were excluded if there was active pulmonary inflammation on baseline chest imaging, if there were signs and symptoms of infection within 14 days before the first dose of study drug, or if oral or intravenous antibiotics were required;

7. Patients with active pulmonary tuberculosis infection detected by medical history or CT examination, or with a history of active pulmonary tuberculosis infection within 1 year before enrollment, or with a history of active pulmonary tuberculosis infection more than 1 year before enrollment but without regular treatment;

8. Presence of active hepatitis B (HBV DNA ≥ 2000 IU/mL or 104 copies/mL), hepatitis C (hepatitis C antibody positive, and HCV RNA above the detection limit of the analytical method);

9. The patient had a second primary malignancy;

10. Pregnant or lactating women;

11. History of arterial/venous thrombosis events within 6 months, such as cerebrovascular accident (including transient ischemic attack), deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism;

13. Patients with any constitutional sign or history of bleeding regardless of severity;

14. Patients with high risk of bleeding, such as active bleeding or bleeding tendency;

15. Urine routine test showed urine protein ≥++, and confirmed 24-hour urine protein quantitation \> 1.0 g;

16. According to the investigator's judgment, there are other factors that may lead to the forced termination of the study, such as other serious diseases (including mental diseases) requiring combined treatment, alcohol abuse, drug abuse, family or social factors, and factors that may affect the safety or compliance of the subjects.
