5. systemic systemic therapy with a proprietary Chinese medicine or immunomodulatory agent (including thymidine, interferon, interleukin, except for local use to control pleural fluid) with an antitumor indication within 2 weeks prior to the first dose.
6. active autoimmune disease requiring systemic therapy (e.g., with disease-relieving drugs, glucocorticoids, or immunosuppressive agents) that occurred within 2 years prior to the first dose. Alternative therapies (e.g., thyroxine, insulin, or physiologic glucocorticoids for adrenal or pituitary insufficiency) are not considered systemic therapy.

7. is receiving systemic glucocorticoid therapy (excluding nasal spray, inhaled or other routes of topical glucocorticoids) or any other form of immunosuppressive therapy within 7 days prior to the first dose of the study.

   Note: Physiological doses of glucocorticoids (≤10 mg/day of prednisone or equivalent) are permitted.

9. known hypersensitivity to the active ingredient or excipients of the investigational drug Camrelizumab;
10. those with multiple factors affecting oral drug administration (e.g., inability to swallow, post-gastrectomy, chronic diarrhea, and intestinal obstruction)
11. have not recovered sufficiently from toxicity and/or complications from any intervention prior to initiation of therapy (i.e., ≤ grade 1 or at baseline, excluding malaise or alopecia)
12. known history of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection (i.e., positive for HIV 1/2 antibody) and various viral hepatitis infections
13. live vaccination within 30 days prior to the first dose (Cycle 1, Day 1). Note: Injectable inactivated viral vaccine for seasonal influenza within 30 days prior to the first dose is permitted; however, intranasal administration of live attenuated influenza vaccine is not permitted.
