2. Allergy to active or inactive ingredients of anlotinib or drugs with similar chemical structures.
3. Active and uncontrollable brain metastasis or leptomeningeal metastasis. Patients with spinal cord compression can still be considered if they have received targeted treatment and have evidence of clinical stability of the disease for at least > 28 days (controlled brain metastasis must have received radiotherapy or chemotherapy at least 1 month prior to study entry; patients may not have new symptoms related to brain lesions or symptoms indicating disease progression and either take stable dose of hormone or do not need to take hormone).

5. Palliative radiotherapy encompassing >20% of the bone marrow within 1 week of the first dose of study treatment
6. Any other malignant tumor exclude ovarian cancer has been diagnosed within 2 years before enrollment (except for completely treated basal or squamous cell skin cancer).
7. Current or previous myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS)/acute myeloid leukemia (AML)

8. Other severe or uncontrolled diseases, including but not limited to:

   • Uncontrollable nausea and vomiting, inability to swallow study drug, and any gastrointestinal disease that may interfere with the absorption and metabolism of the drug
   • Active viral infections, such as human immunodeficiency virus, hepatitis B virus, hepatitis C virus and so on
   • Uncontrolled epileptic seizures, unstable spinal cord compression, superior vena cava syndrome or other psychiatric disorders that may affect patients' informed consent
   • Immunodeficiency (except for splenectomy), or other diseases that investigators believe may expose patients to high-risk toxicity.

9. Have the risk or tendency of bleeding and history of thrombosis

   • CTCAE grade 2 bleeding event occurred within 3 months prior to screening or CTCAE ≥ grade 3 bleeding event occurred within 3 months prior to screening
   • Have history of gastrointestinal bleeding or confirmed bleeding tendency within 6 months prior to screening. e.g. esophageal varices with bleeding risk, local active ulcer focus or fecal occult blood above ++
   • Have active bleeding or coagulation dysfunction, have bleeding risk or undergoing thrombolytic or anticoagulant therapy
   • Need anticoagulant therapy with warfarin or heparin
