A minimum of 4 days out of 7 days of scoring is required to calculate the baseline average score.

If the laboratory T cell spot test for tuberculosis infection test (or other tuberculosis diagnostic test) is positive, its activity is judged in combination with the medical history, clinical manifestations, etc., and the investigator determines whether it can be enrolled;
  • Active hepatitis during the screening period, or positive for hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg), or positive for hepatitis B core antibody (HBcAb);
