female subjects of childbearing potential must have a negative human chorionic gonadotropin (hcg) test result during screening or baseline period, not be breastfeeding, and only be enrolled after confirmation of the last menstruation; female subjects without childbearing potential, the definition of without childbearing potential is: permanent sterilization (such as bilateral oophorectomy, hysterectomy, bilateral salpingectomy) or menopausal women (defined as more than 12 months of amenorrhea without pathological etiology and serum follicle-stimulating hormone (fsh) \> 40 iu/l). exclusion criteria: - general conditions: 1. pregnant or lactating women (pregnancy is defined as the state from conception to termination of gestation) or tested positive for human chorionic gonadotropin (hcg); 2. have a history of alcohol abuse or illegal drug abuse within 6 months prior to screening; 3. have conditions that may affect the safety and efficacy evaluations of the investigational product based on the investigator's judgment; 2. laboratory test results and/or 12-lead ecg findings during the screening or baseline period (tests may be repeated one time for confirmation when necessary): 1) hemoglobin \ 3 × upper limit of normal (uln); 6) total bilirubin (t-bil) \> 1.5 × uln; 7) serum creatinine \> uln; 8) positive for hepatitis b surface antigen (hbsag), human immunodeficiency virus antibody (hiv), syphilis antibody, or hepatitis c virus (hcv) antibody; 9) clinically significant abnormal 12-lead ecg findings that may affect the subject safety, including but not limited to acute myocardial ischemia, myocardial infarction, severe arrhythmia, or significant qtc prolongation (qtc \> 500 ms). 3. have any of the following medical histories or concurrent diseases: 1. allergy to investigational product or any component of the investigational product; 2. history of vernal keratoconjunctivitis (vkc) and/or atopic keratoconjunctivitis (akc); 3. known or suspected history of immunosuppression, including a history of invasive opportunistic infections (such as tuberculosis, histoplasmosis, listeriosis, coccidioidomycosis, pneumocystosis, and aspergillosis), even if the infection has resolved; or abnormally frequent, recurrent, or long-term infection based on the investigator's judgment; 4. active chronic active or acute infection requiring systemic treatments such as antibiotics, antivirals, antiparasitics, antiprotozoals, or antifungals within 4 weeks prior to screening; or superficial skin infection within 1 week prior to screening. note: a patient may be re-screened (once only) after the infection has resolved; 5. diagnosed with or suspected of active tuberculosis, latent untreated tuberculosis, incompletely treated tuberculosis, or nontuberculous mycobacterial infection based on the investigator and/or infectious disease specialist's judgment (as indicated by medical history, symptoms, signs, laboratory tests, x-ray or ct findings) (except subjects with treatment records demonstrating adequate treatment, who may begin treatment with biological product based on the investigator and/or infectious disease specialist's judgment); 6. history of parasite infestation/infection within 6 months prior to screening; 7. prior (within 5 years prior to screening) or current malignant tumors (except for completely resected squamous cell carcinoma of skin, basal cell carcinoma, or cervical carcinoma in situ with no evidence of recurrence); 8. severe, progressive, and uncontrolled cardiovascular, cerebrovascular, hepatic, renal, lung, gastrointestinal, hematopoietic, endocrine, nervous system, and psychiatric disorders, as well as other conditions that are unsuitable for study participation, as judged by the investigator. 4. used any of the following drugs/treatments or participated in a clinical study (defined as having signed informed consent form and received treatment with a drug/medical device at least once): received treatment with other biological products targeting il-4rα or participated in a clinical study involving another biological product targeting il-4rα; 1. received treatment with an investigational drug (such as jak inhibitors) or medical device within 8 weeks or 5 half-lives prior to baseline (whichever is longer); 2. received treatment with systemic corticosteroids or immunosuppressants for atopic dermatitis within 4 weeks prior to baseline;
