Lesions that have previously received local treatment (radiotherapy or other treatment) can only be measured if disease progression occurs more than 6 months after the end of treatment.

  7. INR ≤1.5, and APTT ≤1.5×ULN.
* Male patients and female patients of reproductive age should take adequate contraceptive measures within 3 months after signing the study informed consent to the last study drug treatment; In women of childbearing age, pregnancy test results are negative within 7 days before the first dose.
* All previous treatment-related toxicities (except alopecia and grade 2 neurotoxicity associated with previous platinum chemotherapy) had been recovered (to ≤ grade 1) before first administration of the investigational drug.
* The subject is able to understand and voluntarily sign a written informed consent (which must be signed prior to performing any procedure specified in the study protocol).
* Be able to voluntarily complete the study procedures and follow-up examinations as required by the study protocol.

Exclusion Criteria:

  4. Previous WBRT; Had received \>30% of bone marrow radiotherapy or extensive radiotherapy within 28 days prior to the first dose of the study drug; Local radiotherapy (e.g., thoracic and rib radiotherapy) or palliative radiotherapy for bone metastases within 7 days prior to initial administration of the study drug;
  5. Uncontrolled pleuroperitoneal effusion and pericardial effusion;
  6. Uncontrollable cancerous pain; Anesthetic painkillers did not reach a stable dose at the time of enrollment;
  7. Study major surgery within 28 days before the first administration of the drug ( major surgery refers to grade 3 and grade 4 surgery in Measures for the Clinical Application of Medical Technology in China, on May 1, 2009 );
  8. Has received a strong inducer or suppressor of CYP3A4 within 14 days prior to initial administration of the investigatory drug or requires continued treatment during the study period (including Chinese herbal medicine, see Appendix for a list of drugs);
  9. Patients who are receiving and require continued treatment during the study with drugs known to prolong the QTc interval or that may cause tip torsion ventricular tachycardia (see Appendix for a list of drugs);
  10. Participants who have participated in other clinical trials within 28 days prior to the first administration of the investigational drug (except non-interventional drug trials);
* Patients with primary malignant brain tumors and unstable brain metastases. Definition of unstable brain metastases: Patients with CNS complications who require emergency neurosurgical treatment (such as surgery); Patients with an equivalent dose of dexamethasone or more than 5mg of glucocorticoids, mannitol or diuretics to control symptoms of brain metastases should be administered within 14 days prior to the first dose; The first study looked at patients who had received local radiotherapy or gamma knife treatment within 14 days prior to administration. Patients with meningeal metastasis were excluded.
* Patients who have had or have a history of other malignancies within the past 5 years (except cured basal cell or squamous cell carcinoma of the skin, papillary carcinoma of the thyroid gland, carcinoma in situ of the cervix, and ductal carcinoma in situ of the breast).
* The patient had symptoms of spinal cord compression caused by the tumor.
