-
Underwent intraocular surgery including verteporfin photodynamic therapy (PDT), transpupillary thermotherapy, macular translocation, vitrectomy, laser photocoagulation in macular area, other surgery in macular area or surgery to treat AMD.
-
Previous extraocular or periocular surgery within 1 month or intraocular surgery (except the surgery mentioned in exclusion 10 ,such as cataract surgery, etc.) within 3 months prior to dose 1, or current unhealed wound, moderate or severe ulcer or fracture in the study eye.
-
Subconjunctival or intraocular use of corticosteroids within 3 months (including subconjunctival or intraocular long-acting implant within 6 months) prior to dose 1 in the study eye. Use of systemic corticosteroids for 30 or more consecutive days within 3 months prior to dose 1. Inhaled, nasal or dermal steroids are permitted. Topical ocular corticosteroids administered for 30 or more consecutive days in the study eye within 3 months prior to dose 1.
-
Previous systemic anti-VEGF therapy or IVT injection of any anti-VEGF drug into either eye or other ocular use of anti-VEGF drug within 3 months prior to dose 1.

Participated in any drug (other than vitamins and minerals) or device clinical trials 3 months or the duration of 5 half-lives of the study drug (which is longer) before the first dose and have used the test drug or received device treatment.
-
Pregnancy or lactation, or fertile men or women not willing to use effective contraception from the day when ICF was signed to at least 6 months following the last dose of study intervention.
-
Infertile women or men fail to meet either of the following ones: 1) menopause (≥12 continuous months of amenorrhea with no identified cause other than menopause before screening); 2) surgically sterilized.
Fertile women or men fail to meet either of the following ones: 1) women of childbearing potential must have a negative urine or serum pregnancy test result within 14 days prior to initiation of the study intervention, and should not breastfeed. If the urine pregnancy test is positive, it must be confirmed by a serum pregnancy test; 2) agreement to remain abstinent (refrain from heterosexual intercourse) or use effective contraceptive methods from signed ICF to at least 6 months following the last dose of study intervention. Effective contraceptive methods with a failure rate of <1% per year, including bilateral tubal ligation, male sterilization, established, proper use of hormonal contraceptives that inhibit ovulation, hormone releasing intrauterine devices (IUDs), and copper IUDs.
-
In the Investigator's judgment, there is evidence of a disease or condition that contraindicates the use an investigational drug or that might affect interpretation of the results of the study or render the participant at high risk for treatment complications (e.g. stroke or myocardial infarction within 6 months prior to dose 1, uncontrolled hypertension (systolic blood pressure ≥160 mmHg, or diastolic blood pressure ≥100 mmHg), etc.).

Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and/or aspartate aminotransferase (AST) is more than twice the upper limit of normal (ULN), and/or serum creatinine is 1.2 times more than the ULN, and is clinically significant in the opinion of the Investigator.
-
Abnormal coagulation function: prothrombin time(PT) or International normalized ratio (INR) ≥ 1.5 ×ULN, or activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT) ≥1.5 ×ULN, and is clinically significant in the opinion of the Investigator.
-
Active disseminated intravascular coagulation and obvious bleeding tendency within 3 months prior to dose 1.
-
Evidence of significant uncontrolled concomitant diseases such as cardiovascular diseases, nervous system diseases, respiratory system diseases, urinary system diseases, digestive system diseases and endocrine diseases (e.g., stroke, myocardial infarction).
-
