• 9. Patients who had obvious hemoptysis within 2 months before screening, or experienced daily hemoptysis with a volume more than half a tea spoon (2.5ml) or above.
• 10. Patients who experienced bleeding symptoms of clinical significance within 3 months before screening, or with confirmed bleeding tendency such as hemorrhage of digestive tract, hemorrhagic gastric ulcer, baseline occult blood in stool ++ and above, or vasculitis, etc.
• 11. Patients who manifested arterial/venous thrombus events, e.g. cerebrovascular accident (including transient ischemic attack), deep venous thrombosis and pulmonary embolism, etc., within 12 months before screening.
