6. Squamous or undifferentiated carcinoma of the stomach or gastroesophageal junction;
7. The patients with ascites or pleural effusion with clinical symptoms who need puncture drainage or who have received pleural or ascites drainage within 2 weeks before randomization, except those who only showed a small amount of ascites or pleural effusion without clinical symptoms;
8. Other malignant tumors in the past 3 years or at the same time (except for cured basal cell carcinoma of skin and carcinoma in situ of cervix);
9. Patients with hypertension and cannot be well controlled after antihypertensive drug treatment (systolic pressure ≥ 140 mmHg or diastolic pressure ≥ 90 mmHg);
10. There are clinical symptoms or diseases that can not be well controlled, such as: (1) heart failure of NYHA grade 2 or above (2) unstable angina pectoris (3) myocardial infarction within one year (4) clinically significant supraventricular or ventricular arrhythmias need treatment or intervention (5) QTc \> 450ms (male); QTc \> 470ms (female);
11. Low dose aspirin and low molecular weight heparin are allowed for prophylactic use in patients undergoing thrombolytic or anticoagulant therapy;
12. In the first 3 months of randomization, there were significant clinical bleeding symptoms or clear bleeding tendency, such as gastrointestinal bleeding, esophageal and gastric varices with bleeding risk, hemorrhagic gastric ulcer or vasculitis; If the fecal occult blood is still positive at baseline (except for weak positive and no clinical significance judged by the researcher), gastroscopy should be performed (the researcher can judge whether gastroscopy should be performed for those who have undergone total gastrectomy before). If the gastroscopy results indicate severe gastric ulcer or the risk of bleeding judged by the researcher, they can not be enrolled; Gastrointestinal perforation or fistula occurred within 3 months before randomization;
13. The events of arteriovenous thrombosis occurred within 6 months before entering the group, such as cerebrovascular accidents (including transient ischemic attack, cerebral hemorrhage, cerebral infarction), deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism, etc;

16. Those who had received radiotherapy, chemotherapy, surgery (except diagnostic surgery) or trastuzumab for less than 4 weeks before randomization (palliative radiotherapy or local treatment can be extended to 2 weeks before randomization); Or the adverse reactions caused by previous treatment (except hair loss) did not return to ≤ CTCAE 5.0 1level ；
17. Patients with bone metastases received palliative radiotherapy in more than 5% bone marrow area within 2 weeks before the study；

23. According to the judgment of the researchers, the patients may have other factors that may affect the research results or lead to the termination of the study, such as alcoholism, drug abuse, other serious diseases (including mental illness) requiring combined treatment, serious laboratory abnormalities, family or social factors, which will affect the safety of the patients.
