• Have active infections that require treatment.
• Have a congenital or acquired immune deficiency (such as HIV infection), active hepatitis B (HBV-DNA≥10\^3 copy number/ml), or hepatitis C (hepatitis C antibody positive and HCV-RNA above the lower detection limit of analytical methods).

• Patients with recurrent peptic ulcers (e.g., gastric ulcers, duodenal ulcers), who have a history of peptic ulcer complications such as perforation, bleeding, obstruction, etc., or who have been assessed by clinicians as having a higher risk of complications.

Laborértékek

• prior treatment with EGFR/PD-1/PD-L1/PD-L2/CD137/CTLA-4 antibodies(including ipilimumab) or activating or inhibitory agents targeting T-cell receptors.
• Proven allergic to EGFR monoclonal antibody, PD-1 antibody or its excipients.
• In the investigator's judgment, the subjects had other factors that might have led to their forced discontinuation of the study, such as other serious medical conditions (including mental illness) requiring concomitant treatment, serious abnormalities in laboratory test values, or family or social factors that might have affected the safety of the subjects or the circumstances of the trial data collection.
