Infection-related medical history and examinations: a) Herpes zoster infection meets one of the following conditions: 1) A history of systemic herpes zoster, such as disseminated herpes zoster, herpetic encephalitis or ocular herpes zoster involving the retina; 2) Recurrent herpes zoster that has occurred twice or more within two years; 3) The herpes zoster infection has not completely subsided within 12 weeks before screening; b) Tuberculosis (TB) or occult tuberculosis infection; c) A history of primary immunodeficiency, splenectomy, and any potential conditions that make participants susceptible to infection; d) A history of repeated infections requiring hospitalization and intravenous antibiotics; e) Hospitalization and/or intravenous anti-infective treatment were required within 8 weeks prior to randomization, or any infection that required oral anti-infective treatment within 2 weeks prior to randomization; f) Positive test results for any of the following: hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg), hepatitis C virus antibody, Treponema pallidum antibody or human immunodeficiency virus (HIV); If the test result is negative for HBsAg but positive for hepatitis B core antibody (HBcAb), regardless of whether the hepatitis B surface antibody (HBsAb) is positive or negative, HBV-DNA testing is required to determine the situation: if HBV-DNA is positive, participants should be excluded. Participants can be included if HBV-DNA is negative.
