[0059] Unless otherwise defined, all scientific and technical terms used in the present application have the same meanings as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which the present application pertains.

[0060] The term "crystal form" is confirmed by X-ray powder diffraction patterns. Those skilled in the art will appreciate that the physical and chemical properties discussed herein can be characterized with experimental error that depends on the conditions of the instrument, the preparation of the sample, and the purity of the sample, among other things. In particular, it is well known in the art that X-ray diffraction patterns will vary somewhat depending on the conditions of the instrument. In particular, it is noted that the relative intensities of the X-ray powder diffraction patterns can vary with experimental conditions, and therefore the order of peak intensities should not be used as the sole or determining factor. In fact, the relative intensities of the diffraction peaks in an XRPD pattern are related to the preferred orientation of the crystals, and the peak intensities shown herein are illustrative and not for absolute comparison. In addition, the experimental error in peak angles is typically 5% or less, and this error in angles should be taken into account, typically allowing for a ± 0.2° error. In addition, there can be a general shift in peak angles due to experimental factors such as sample thickness, and some shift is typically allowed. Thus, those skilled in the art will appreciate that the X-ray powder diffraction pattern of a crystal form of the application need not be identical to the X-ray powder diffraction pattern of the examples described herein, and that "XRPD pattern identical" does not mean absolutely identical, but that the peak positions can differ by ± 0.2° and that the peak intensities allow for some variability. Any crystal form having a pattern with peaks identical or similar to those in these patterns is within the scope of the application. Those skilled in the art will be able to compare the patterns set forth herein with the patterns of an unknown crystal form to confirm whether the two sets of patterns reflect the same or different crystal forms. In some embodiments, the crystal form A of the application is pure, single, and substantially free of any other crystal form. In the present application, "substantially free of" when used in reference to a new crystal form indicates that the crystal form contains less than 20% by weight of another crystal form, more preferably less than 10% by weight of another crystal form, more preferably less than 5% by weight of another crystal form, and more preferably less than 1% by weight of another crystal form.

[0061] It is noted that the numerical values and ranges recited in this disclosure are not to be taken literally, as the numerical values and ranges can be "floated" around the recited values due to variations in the manufacturing process and the like, and that those of ordinary skill in the art will be able to make such variations without the exercise of inventive capacity. In the present application, such "floats" around the recited numerical values that can be expected by those of ordinary skill in the art are represented by the term "about". When the term "about" is used in the present application in reference to a numerical value, and is intended to indicate that the value can vary by ± 10%, preferably ± 5%, more preferably ± 2%, and more preferably ± 1% of the recited value. For example, "about 10" is to be interpreted as meaning any value in the range of 9-11, preferably 9.5-10.5, more preferably 9.8-10.2, and more preferably 9.9-10.1.

[0062] It is further noted that in powder x-ray diffraction patterns, the specific crystal form of a crystalline compound is often characterized by a diffraction pattern in which the relative intensities of the peaks, especially at low angles, can vary due to preferred orientation effects resulting from differences in crystallization conditions, particle size, relative amounts of components in a mixture, and other testing conditions. Therefore, the relative intensities of the diffraction peaks are not characteristic of the crystal form in question, and the determination of identity with a known crystal form should be made by attention to the positions of the peaks rather than their relative intensities.

[0063] The term "room temperature" refers to a temperature of an article that is close to or the same as the temperature of the space in which the article is located, e.g., the location of a fume hood in which the article is located. Typically, room temperature is about 20 °C to about 30 °C, or about 22 °C to 27 °C, or about 25 °C.

[0064] The term "subject" refers to any animal or cell thereof, whether in vitro or in situ, treated according to the methods described herein. In particular, the aforementioned animal includes a mammal, e.g., a rat, a mouse, a guinea pig, a rabbit, a dog, a monkey, or a human, particularly a human.

[0065] The term "treatment" refers to preventing, curing, reversing, attenuating, alleviating, minimizing, inhibiting, arresting, and / or stopping one or more clinical symptoms of a disease after the onset of the disease.

[0066] The term "prevention" refers to avoiding, minimizing, or making it difficult for a disease to occur or develop by treatment before the onset of the disease.

[0067] The term "autoimmune disease" refers to a disease caused by an immune response of the body to self-antigens resulting in damage to self-tissues. The American Autoimmune Related Diseases Association has compiled a comprehensive list of autoimmune diseases.

[0068] The term "autoinflammatory disease" refers to an inflammatory disease directed against self-tissues, organs, and the pathogenesis is defined as an abnormal response of the body's innate immune system resulting in inflammatory damage to self-tissues (see, Li Chengrong, Autoinflammatory Diseases, Chinese Journal of Pediatrics, 2008, 46(11): 842-847).

[0069] The disclosures of various publications, patents and published patent specifications referenced herein are hereby incorporated by reference in their entireties.

[0070] The technical solutions of the present application will be described clearly and completely below in combination with the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some of the embodiments of the present application, but not all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all the other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative work fall within the scope of protection of the present application.
