3. There must be at least one measurable lesion defined by RECIST v1.1. Lesions intended for biopsy should generally not be selected as target lesions, unless the investigator assesses that the biopsy of the lesion will not affect subsequent tumor evaluations. Lesions that have previously undergone radiation therapy, interventional therapy, or other local treatments should generally not be selected as target lesions, unless the lesion shows clear radiological progression after local treatment.
4. The ECOG performance status ≤ 1.

9. All subjects in Phase Ia (with partial exceptions for the first 2 dose levels and designated subjects in Phase Ib must be prepared to undergo 2 or more tumor biopsies, one during the screening period and 1-2 biopsy during therapy. In the Investigator's assessment, these biopsies should be feasible considered, safe by the investigator, and not expected to interfere with all other study assessments.

14. Toxicity related to previous antitumor treatments must have returned to baseline or ≤ grade 1 (NCI-CTCAE 5.0), except for toxicities judged by the investigator to pose no safety risk, such as: hair loss, ≤ grade 2 peripheral neuropathy, thyroid dysfunction stabilized by hormone replacement therapy, or other toxicities that are still grade 2 but are assessed by the investigator as chronic, stable, and with no clear safety concerns.
