Patient has been diagnosed with active PCV on ICGA (confirmed by the third-party radiodiagnosis center); The diagnostic criteria for "active" PCV on ICGA are as follows: image indicates polypoid lesions as typical nodular high fluorescein area (observed stereoscopically) and also depicts one of the following angiographic findings: 1) nodular lesions surrounded by the weak halo; 2) nodular lesions nourished by abnormal vascular beds; and 3) nodular pulsation on dynamic ICGA; 3.

Amenorrhea for 12 months under the natural condition, or amenorrhea for 6 months under the natural condition and the serum FSH level of > 40 mIU/ml; 2. Six weeks after bilateral ovariectomy with/without hysterectomy; 3. Use of the following one or more acceptable contraceptions: - Sterilization (for males, with bilateral vasoligation and vasectomy) - Hormonal contraception (implantable, patchable, oral) - Intrauterine device and dural barrier method 4. Ability to take reliable contraceptive measures over the study period and hold on to 30 days after study drug withdrawal (unacceptable contraceptive methods include: periodic continence - according to the calendar and ovulatory phase, body thermometry, post-ovulatory method, and coitus interruptus). - Pregnant women (in this trial pregnancy is defined as positive U-HCG) and breastfeeding mothers; - Patient has participated in any drug (not including vitamins and minerals) clinical trial three months before screening (if the study drug has a long half-life, i.e., its five half-lives exceed three months, then it is deemed as five half-lives); Those whom the reseacher deems necessary to exclude. |
