3. Has an active autoimmune disease that has required systemic treatment in past 2 years (ie, with use of disease modifying agents, corticosteroids or immunosuppressive drugs). Replacement therapy (eg, thyroxine, insulin, or physiologic corticosteroid replacement therapy for adrenal or pituitary insufficiency) is not considered a form of systemic treatment and is allowed.

\* Obvious tumor invasion to the chest great vessel, cavity formation of the lung lesion, or the existence of obvious thrombus on the image are recognized, etc.
23. Has past history of gastrointestinal perforation, peptic ulcer, diverticulosis or fistula within 6 months.
※ As for peptic ulcer, registration is permitted when disease condition is controlled by appropriate treatment.

28. Patients who are receiving anticoagulant therapy and whose dose of oral anticoagulant or low molecular weight heparin is not stable. In case of taking warfarin, registration is permitted if there is no active bleeding or no risk of bleeding.
29. Is currently participating and receiving study therapy or has participated in a study of an investigational agent and received study therapy or used an investigational device within 4 weeks of registration.
Note: Participants who have entered the follow-up phase of an investigational trial may participate as long as it has been 4 weeks after the last dose of the previous investigational agent.
