  1. Participants have received Janus kinase (JAK) inhibitor, interleukin 6 (IL-6) inhibitor, IL-1 inhibitor, tumor necrosis factor (TNF) inhibitor, T cell or B cell depletion agent, interferon and other immunosuppressive drugs within the first two weeks of randomization, except glucocorticoid;
  2. Systematically used CYP 3A4 potent inhibitor or potent inducer in the first five drug half-lives at random;
• Immune deficiency;
• Participants who have received the novel coronavirus vaccine within 1 week before randomization;
• Prior to randomization, there were the following active and uncontrolled infections: tuberculosis, HIV, syphilis, mycoplasma, chlamydia, parasites, and viral infections other than SARS CoV-2 that required systemic anti-infection treatment;

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure	Measure Description	Time Frame
Efficacy of Jaktinib	The proportion of subjects whose (National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Disease Ordinal Scale (NIAID-OS) score improved by ≥ 2 points from the baseline	28 days after randomization
Efficacy of Jaktinib	The change value of NIAID-OS score compared with the baseline	28 days after randomization
Efficacy of Jaktinib	The proportion of subjects with disease progression or all-cause mortality	28 days after randomization
Efficacy of Jaktinib	The proportion of subjects with disease progression or all-cause mortality	14 days after randomization
Efficacy of Jaktinib	Time interval from randomization to clinical improvement (defined as NIAID-OS 1-3 points)	Up to 28 days after randomization
Efficacy of Jaktinib	Time interval from randomization to discharge	Up to 28 days after randomization
Efficacy of Jaktinib	The proportion of subjects receiving mechanical ventilation due to disease progression at 3, 7, and 14 days after randomization until the end of treatment (EOT)	28 days after randomization
Efficacy of Jaktinib	The proportion of subjects whose chest High-Resolution CT (HRCT) showed significant absorption of pulmonary inflammation (definition of significant absorption: the lung inflammatory lesions were reduced by more than 50%) at 7, 14 days after treatment until EOT	28 days after randomization
