- Patients with a history of stroke, or with a history of myocardial infarction and/or cerebrovascular disease or a history of transient cerebral ischemia within 6 months before screening, or with active disseminated intravascular coagulation and significant bleeding tendencies;
- Patients who are diagnosed with systemic autoimmune diseases (such as ankylosing spondylitis, systemic lupus erythematosus, Behcet's disease, rheumatoid arthritis, and scleroderma, etc.);
- Patients who are diagnosed with any clinically uncontrollable disease (such as HIV, active hepatitis, metabolic disorders, severe mental, neurological, cardiovascular, respiratory and other diseases and cancer);
- Hypertensive patients whose blood pressure have not been controlled effectively (defined as SBP ≥160 mmHg or DBP ≥100 mmHg after treatment with antihypertensive drugs);
- Patient who has a surgical history within 1 month before enrollment, and/or is currently suffering from unhealed wounds, ulcers, fractures, etc.;
- Use of systemic (orally, intramuscularly or intravenously) corticosteroids within 6 months before screening;
- Patients received systemic anti-VEGF medications (such as Avastin) within 6 months before screening; Patients underwent laboratory test with any of the following abnormal results
- Liver, kidney and immune dysfunction (defined as ALT and AST ≥ 2 × UNL of the laboratory , Crea and BUN ≥ 1.5 × UNL of the laboratory in the site of this trial);
