• Able to maintain good communication with the investigator and comply with all clinical trial requirements.
• Subjects are generally in good health, or based on the investigator's clinical judgment and comprehensive consideration of the drug's characteristics, it is determined that the subject's medical history does not preclude participation in this clinical study.

You may not qualify if:

• Significant changes in dietary habits (e.g., dieting, binge eating) or strenuous exercise within 2 weeks prior to the first dose.
• Special dietary requirements that prevent adherence to the unified diet.
• Use of any drug with a long half-life that may affect this study, or participation as a subject in any drug or medical device clinical trial within 3 months prior to the first dose.
• Blood donation or blood loss ≥ 400 mL within 3 months prior to the first dose.
• History of food or drug allergy, or allergic constitution.
• Any clinically significant abnormalities in physical examination, vital signs, 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG), posteroanterior chest X-ray, or clinical laboratory test results at screening.
• History or presence of chronic or serious diseases of the hematologic, circulatory, digestive, urinary, respiratory, nervous, immune, or endocrine systems; mental abnormalities; metabolic disorders; or any other condition that may affect the study results.
• Positive test results for any of the following: human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) antibody, hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg), hepatitis C virus (HCV) antibody, or Treponema pallidum antibody (TPPA).
