Administration plan:
The trial will start with the lower dose of CN128 (10 mg/kg body weight [bw], bid) for two weeks, then the subjects will return to the study center. If no unacceptable toxicity associated with CN128 is found, the subjects will be given the higher dose (15 mg/kg body weight [bw], bid). If unacceptable toxicity associated with CN128 is found, the subjects will be suspended or stopped administration. If the adverse event turns to normal or abnormal but no clinical significance after suspension administration, the subjects will be given the lower dose of CN128 (10 mg/kg body weight [bw], bid). After taking CN128 at 15 mg/kg, if unacceptable toxicity associated with CN128 is found, the dosage will be reduce to 10 mg/kg. If no symptoms appear, the dose can be increased to 15 mg/kg. If the unacceptable toxicity related to CN128 still occurs, the subjects will be suspended or stopped administration. If the adverse event turns to normal or abnormal but no clinical significance after suspension administration, the subjects will be given the lower dose of CN128 (10 mg/kg body weight [bw], bid). The dose will be assessed once every two or four weeks.

Safety analysis Descriptive statistical analysis was used for safety endpoints. Summarize the incidence of adverse events, adverse reactions, adverse events leading to withdrawal from the trial, adverse events leading to death, severe adverse events, and severe adverse reactions. The incidence is calculated by subsystem, symptom/sign. Severity of adverse events and adverse reactions: if multiple adverse events occur in the same subject, the most serious one is included in the analysis; if different adverse events occurred in the same subject, the most severe adverse events were counted in the analysis. Drug exposure during the study: describe medication compliance during the study, actual dose, administration adjustments during the study, whether the study was discontinued, and reasons for the suspension.
