12. Have undergone major surgery within 4 weeks before the first administration, or have not recovered from previous treatment-related adverse events (AE) to ≤ grade 1 (CTCAE 5.0), except alopecia.
13. Participated in another clinical study within 4 weeks before the first administration, unless it is an observational (non-intervention) clinical study.
