* Adequate renal function: CrCl ≥ 50 mL/min or serum creatinine ≤ 1.5 × ULN
* Liver function Child-Pugh class A
* ECOG performance status 0-1
* Expected survival \> 3 months
* Signed written informed consent
* Willing and able to comply with follow-up until death, study completion, or study termination
* For women of childbearing potential: Negative serum pregnancy test within 14 days prior to treatment; Willing to use medically accepted contraception during the study and for 3 months after the last dose
* For male participants with partners of childbearing potential: Must have undergone surgical sterilization, or use effective contraception during the study and for 3 months after the last dose

Exclusion Criteria:

* KRAS or NRAS mutation

* Active autoimmune disease requiring treatment, or history of such disease within the past 2 years
* Known primary immunodeficiency
* History of allogeneic organ transplantation or allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation
* Retinal vein occlusion or risk factors for retinal vein occlusion (e.g., uncontrolled glaucoma or high intraocular pressure)
* History of acute or chronic pancreatitis
* Chronic inflammatory bowel disease or Crohn's disease requiring medical intervention (immunomodulatory, immunosuppressive therapy, or surgery) within 12 months prior to enrollment
* Gastrointestinal disorders that may significantly affect oral drug absorption (e.g., severe GI ulcers, uncontrolled vomiting, malabsorption syndrome, short bowel syndrome)
* Neuromuscular diseases associated with elevated CK (e.g., inflammatory myopathy, muscular dystrophy, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, spinal muscular atrophy)
* Residual ≥Grade 2 toxicity from prior anti-tumor therapy (excluding ≥Grade 2 alopecia or neuropathy)
* History of HIV infection
* History of Gilbert's syndrome
* Interstitial pneumonia or extensive symptomatic interstitial pulmonary fibrosis

* Cardiac arrhythmias requiring treatment
* Current or prior central nervous system disease, including: Primary brain tumor; Epilepsy not controlled by standard treatment; Any brain metastases or history of stroke
* Other uncontrolled comorbidities, including active bleeding, uncontrolled infection or non-malignant medical conditions that could be worsened by study therapy, or uncontrolled psychiatric/social conditions
* History of other malignancies within the past 5 years (except for curatively treated basal cell carcinoma, cervical carcinoma in situ, or thyroid cancer)
* Allergy to any study drug
* Pregnant or breastfeeding women
* Women of childbearing potential (last menstrual period \<2 years) or men who refuse to use effective non-hormonal contraception (IUD, barrier method plus spermicide, or sterilization)
* Inability or unwillingness to comply with study protocol
* Any other disease, metastatic lesion-related functional impairment, or suspicious findings on physical examination that may indicate contraindication to study drug use or place the patient at high risk of treatment-related complications.
