• 10\. Women of childbearing age must be negative for blood Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG) pregnancy test (by immunofluorescence method) at screening and baseline periods, and agree to use effective contraception for at least 1 year after infusion; and male subjects whose partners are women of childbearing age must agree to use effective barrier contraception methods and avoid sperm donation for at least 1 year after infusion.

• 8\. Subjects who have experienced tumor-related intestinal or bowel obstruction within 6 months. including incomplete obstruction related to underlying disease or symptoms of intestinal obstruction requiring treatment
• 9\. A history of or any central nervous system disorders, such as epileptic seizure, cerebrovascular ischemia/hemorrhage, dementia, cerebellar disease, or any autoimmune disease involving the central nervous system within the past 6 months
• 10\. A positive result obtained in any of the following virological tests: A) Antibody to human immunodeficiency virus (HIV antibody); B) Hepatitis C virus antibody (HCV antibody), with a positive result for hepatitis C virus ribonucleic acid (HCV RNA); C) Positive for hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg); or positive for hepatitis B core antibody (HBcAb) and positive for hepatitis B virus deoxyribonucleic acid (HBV DNA) copies ≥2000 IU/mL; D) Treponema pallidum antibody (TP antibody) and positive for unheated serum reagin test;
