Exclusion

  • Require non-invasive ventilation, invasive mechanical ventilation, or extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) on Day 1 at the time of randomization

  • Absolute lymphocyte count \<500 cells/mm;
  • Absolute neutrophil count \<1000 cells/mm.
  • Known allergy to tofacitinib.
  • Other medical or psychiatric condition including recent (within the past year) or active suicidal ideation/behavior or laboratory abnormality that may increase the risk associated with study participation or, in the investigator's judgment, make the participant inappropriate for the study.

  • Have received any of these within 4 weeks prior to the first dose of study intervention: any JAK inhibitors, potent immunosuppressants, or any biologic agents including IL-6 inhibitors (eg, tocilizumab) or IL-1 inhibitors (eg, anakinra) within the past 30 days; any potent cytochrome P450 inducer, such as rifampin, within the past 28 days or 5 half-lives, whichever is longer.
  • Have received estrogen-containing contraception or treatment with herbal supplements within 48 hours prior to the first dose of study intervention.
