Female subjects are considered fertile if they are menopausal but have not reached post-menopausal status (menopause of 12 consecutive months or more, with no cause other than menopause) and have not undergone sterilization (removal of ovaries and/or uterus). Their sexual partner agrees to use a medically licensed method of contraception during the subject's treatment and for 3 months after completion; 2) Males: surgical sterilization or agreement to use medically licensed contraception during and for 3 months after the end of treatment; their sexual partners agree to use medically licensed contraception during and for 3 months after the end of the subject's treatment;
• \. Capable and willing to comply with protocol requirements during the study and subsequent procedures.

Exclusion criteria

• Known uncontrollable hypersensitivity to AL8326 similar compounds;
• Having previously used AL8326 tablets;
• Having or had a history of leptomeningeal disease or leptomeningeal metastases at screening, or confirmed CNS metastases presenting with symptoms of uncontrolled brain metastases, spinal cord compression, or cancerous meningitis within 8 weeks of first dose, except for CNS metastases or spinal cord compression that are clinically stable and do not require corticosteroids and have an interval of greater than 2 weeks between screening and previous treatment (including radiation therapy or surgery);
• Having or had other neoplasms unless radically treated and with no evidence of recurrence or metastasis within the past 2 years;
• Having significant gastrointestinal history or current illness, such as inability to swallow, severe peptic ulcer, uncontrollable nausea and vomiting, and clinical difficulty in controlling chronic diarrhea, intestinal obstruction or other chronic gastrointestinal diseases in the past 3 months, which may affect the intake, transport or absorption of drugs as judged by the investigator, or who have previously undergone total gastrectomy;
• Having other important primary diseases, such as single agent uncontrolled hypertension (systolic blood pressure ≥ 150 mmHg and/or diastolic blood pressure ≥ 95 mmHg), arrhythmia requiring clinical intervention (such as long QT syndrome, QTcF \> 470 ms), abnormally prolonged arrhythmia caused by unstable coronary artery disease, decompensated congestive heart failure (New York Heart Association(NYHA) class III or IV) or myocardial infarction, unstable angina pectoris, ascites or pleural effusion with uncontrolled within 6 months before the administration of the investigational product (CTCAE 5.0 ≥ 2), active autoimmune diseases, mental illness, symptomatic or interstitial lung disease requiring treatment, thyroid disease that may seriously affect the trial evaluation;
• Previously received cytotoxic chemotherapy and/or immunotherapy, and the end of the last dose is at least 4 weeks apart from the first dose of study drug; the end of anti- tumor herb medicine is at least 14 days apart; the end of nitroso or mitomycin was at least 6 weeks apart, and tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) class molecular targeted drugs were at least 4 weeks apart; the treatment of brain metastases/bone metastases had to be at least 2 weeks apart; and had recovered to ≤ Grade 1 from the toxicity of previous treatment \[except for the following: a. alopecia; b. long-term toxicity caused by radiotherapy, which could not be recovered in the judgment of the investigator; c. platinum-induced Grade 2 and the following neurotoxicity such as hearing impairment (according to the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events CTCAE V5.0)\];
• Had arterial thrombosis or severe venous thromboembolic events within 6 months before screening, such as cerebrovascular accident (including transient ischemic attack), deep venous thrombosis and pulmonary embolism;
• Having imaging findings indicating that the tumor has invaded around important vessels at screening or the tumor is likely to invade important vessels and cause fatal massive hemorrhage during the subsequent study period as judged by the investigator;
• Uncontrolled infection within 14 days prior to first dose;
• Screening urine routine showed urine protein ≥ + +, and 24-hour urine protein \> 1.0 g;
• Having active bleeding within 3 months before screening or at high risk of bleeding as judged by the investigator;
• Been receiving anticoagulants or vitamin K antagonists (e.g., warfarin, heparin, or their analogues) during the screening period \[low-dose anticoagulants such as warfarin (no more than 1 mg daily orally), low-dose heparin (no more than 12,000 U daily), or low-dose aspirin (no more than 100 mg daily) were permitted for prophylactic purposes provided INR was ≤ 1.5\];
• Having positive test results for hepatitis C virus (HCV) antibody, treponema pallidum antibody, or human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) antibody, or active hepatitis B (defined as hepatitis B virus HBV DNA ≥ 2000 IU/mL or HBV DNA ≥ 10 \^ 4 copies);
• Participated in other clinical trials (excluding observational or vitamin studies) within 4 weeks before informed consent;
• Having received major surgical treatment within 6 weeks prior to screening (patients must be fully recovered and stable before the start of treatment) or serious unhealed wounds, ulcers or fractures at screening;
• Having a history of organ transplantation or being prepared to undergo organ transplantation;
• Other reasons that, in the discretion of the investigator, would make participation in this study inappropriate.
• Notes:
• \*1 new line of therapy refers to a change in treatment regimen due to disease progression rather than toxicity or other reasons; after progression on the first treatment, reuse of the same treatment regimen is also a new line of therapy;
• \*\* Lesions treated with radiotherapy or locoregional therapy must have radiographic evidence of disease progression to be considered target lesions. If there is only one measurable lesion, the lesion cannot be brain lesion.
