* Female subjects must agree to take effective contraceptive measures from the date of signing the informed consent form to 30 days after the last administration:

  1. Those with fertility: from the date of signing the informed consent form to 30 days after the last administration, ① avoid pregnancy, ② if having sex with the opposite sex, agree to continue to use one or more forms of effective contraception (such as verified intrauterine devices, bilateral tubal ligation or correct use of condoms, excluding any form of hormonal contraceptives). If the male partner has undergone an effective sterilization operation, additional effective contraception measures should be taken when the sperm is uncertain);
