9. Drug-related adverse reactions from prior treatments have recovered to Grade 1 or lower per NCI CTCAE v6.0 at screening (excluding alopecia, Grade 2 or lower peripheral neurotoxicity, or other toxicities judged by the investigator to pose low safety risk).
10. Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) ≥ 50% assessed by cardiac evaluation.
11. Within 7 days prior to first dosing, adequate hematologic and end organ function per laboratory tests meeting the following criteria:

    1. Hematology No use of granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) or similar treatments within 14 days prior to hematology lab testing, and absolute neutrophil count (ANC) ≥ 1.5×10⁹/L; No platelet transfusion or use of interleukin-11 (IL-11), recombinant human thrombopoietin injection, or similar treatments within 7 days prior to hematology lab testing, and platelet count (PLT) ≥ 90×10⁹/L; No blood transfusion or use of erythropoietin within 14 days prior to hematology lab testing, and hemoglobin (Hb) ≥ 90 g/L;
    2. Coagulation function International normalized ratio (INR) ≤ 1.5×upper limit of normal (ULN), activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT) ≤ 1.5×ULN; Note: Participants receiving anticoagulant therapy with injectable lesions in the skin and/or subcutaneous tissue may have prolonged INR and APTT as direct pressure can control excessive bleeding, determined by the investigator; for participants receiving anticoagulant therapy and undergoing deep lesion injection, discontinuation of anticoagulant therapy for at least 1 week prior to injection is recommended, determined by the investigator.
    3. Renal function Serum creatinine (Cr) ≤ 1.5×ULN, or calculated creatinine clearance ≥ 50 mL/min using the Cockcroft-Gault formula (creatinine clearance calculation is performed only when baseline Cr \> 1.5×ULN);
    4. Hepatic function total bilirubin (TBIL) ≤ 1.5×ULN, or ≤ 3×ULN for participants with Gilbert's syndrome or hepatic metastases; Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) concentrations ≤ 3×ULN, or ≤ 5×ULN if elevated due to hepatic metastases as determined by the investigator; Serum albumin ≥ 2.8 g/dL.
12. Female participants of childbearing potential must have a negative serum pregnancy test within 7 days prior to first dosing of study drug, commit to practicing effective contraception or abstinence during the study drug treatment period and for 6 months after completion of study drug treatment, and must not be lactating.

Male participants must commit to practicing effective contraception or abstinence during the study drug treatment period and for 6 months after completion of study drug treatment. Additionally, male participants must agree not to donate sperm during this period.

Exclusion Criteria:

1. History or current diagnosis of iron metabolism disorders (excluding participants with iron deficiency anemia), such as thalassemia, favism (red blood cell glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency), etc.
2. Evidence of hollow viscus perforation at the injection site either previously or currently.
3. Local skin ulceration, erythema, necrosis, hemorrhage or other conditions affecting investigational drug administration at the injection site either previously or currently.
4. Known history or current coagulation defects causing increased bleeding risk, or any known hemorrhagic disorders.
5. Received systemic chemotherapy, small molecule targeted therapy or hormonal anti-tumor treatment within 2 weeks prior to first administration of investigational medication; received macromolecular biologics anti-tumor treatment within 4 weeks prior to first administration of investigational medication; received prior radiotherapy within 14 days prior to first administration of investigational medication \[central nervous system (CNS) radiotherapy excluded, requiring ≥28 days washout period\]; received traditional Chinese medicine with anti-tumor indication within 14 days prior to first administration of investigational medication.
6. Undergone major surgical procedures (craniotomy, thoracotomy or laparotomy) within 4 weeks prior to first administration of investigational medication, or other surgical conditions deemed unsuitable for enrollment by the investigator (fine needle aspiration at tumor site is allowed).
7. Contraindications for concomitant therapy: infection, active inflammation, severe skin lesions or other conditions deemed unsuitable for radiotherapy at the intended irradiation sites;
8. Untreated or active brain metastases, spinal cord compression, carcinomatous meningitis, or other evidence indicating uncontrolled central nervous system metastases (excluding cases with stable symptoms after treatment, radiological evidence of stability for at least 4 weeks prior to first administration, absence of cerebral edema evidence, and no requirement for corticosteroid treatment).
9. Uncontrolled or poorly controlled hypertension (e.g., systolic blood pressure \>160 mmHg or diastolic blood pressure \>100 mmHg).
10. Uncontrolled tumor-related pain.
11. Uncontrolled pleural effusion, pericardial effusion, or ascites requiring repeated drainage (once/month or more frequently).
12. Received live virus vaccination within 4 weeks prior to first administration of investigational medication.
13. History of immunodeficiency disease, including human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) positive status or other acquired or congenital immunodeficiency diseases, or history of organ transplantation.

Note: Participants with arrhythmia receiving anti-arrhythmic medication with controlled heart rate rhythm as shown on screening ECG may be enrolled.
