7. Patients who manifested arterial/venous thrombus events, e.g. cerebrovascular accident (Including temporary ischemic attack, cerebral hemorrhage, cerebral infarction), deep venous thrombosis and pulmonary embolism, etc., within 12 months before screening（Such as hemophilia, coagulation disorders, thrombocytopenia, hypersplenism and so on）；
