Brief summary: This was a multicenter, open, multi-cohort PHASE I study, consisting of 2 phases: Phase Ia (Phase Ia dose escalation) and Phase Ib (Phase Ib multi-cohort expansion). The objective of this study was to evaluate safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetic， Pharmacodynamics and biological characteristics, and initial efficacy in advanced malignant tumors.

Detailed description: Phase I dose escalation phase：This study predicted a total of 8 dose groups, 3, 15, 45, 90, 180，270，360 and 450 ug/kg.

Phase Ib expansion phase: This phase is the multi-cohort indication expansion phase. Based on the data obtained in phase I, chose an appropriate dose continue to explore multi-cohort indications.
