3. Patients with a history of hypertensive crisis or pre-existing hypertensive encephalopathy
4. Pulmonary hypertension
5. Myocardial infarction

8. Patients with any significant vascular diseases (e.g., aortic aneurysm requiring surgery or recent peripheral artery thrombosis) within 6 months prior to the initial treatment of the investigational product
4. Symptomatic or uncontrolled central nervous system (CNS) metastasis (However, patients with asymptomatic CNS metastasis can participate provided that systemic corticosteroid treatment was discontinued at least 4 weeks prior to screening and that the patient is radiologically and neurologically stable or improving)
5. A history of the following hemorrhage-related or gastroenterological disease:
1. Active hemorrhage, hemorrhagic diathesis, coagulopathy or tumor invasion into great arteries

6. Patients who received antiplatelet drugs (aspirin, clopidogrel, etc.) or anticoagulant drugs (warfarin, heparin, direct thrombin inhibitors, etc.) within 2 weeks prior to C1D1, or are expected to need those drugs during the clinical study.
