Efficacy and Safety of JT001 (VV116) Compared With Paxlovid

Screening Interested participants will sign the appropriate informed consent form (ICF) prior to completion of any study procedures.

The investigator will review symptoms, risk factors and other non-invasive inclusion and exclusion criteria prior to any invasive procedures.

Treatment and Assessment Period

This is the general sequence of events during the 28-day treatment and assessment period:

Complete baseline procedures Participants are randomized to an intervention group Participants receive study intervention (Q12H X 5 days), and Complete all safety monitoring

• Participants who have one or more mild or moderate COVID-19 symptoms, and total symptom score ≥ 2.
• Participants who have one or more of the following requirements: ≤7 days from the first positive test for SARS-COV-2 virus infection to the first dose; ≤5 days from the first onset of COVID-19 symptoms to the first dose; SARS-CoV-2 Ct Value ≤20 within 24 hours prior to the first dose.
• Participants who satisfy one or more than one of the following high risks for progression to severe COVID-19, including death.
• Participants who must agree to adhere to contraception restrictions.

• Participants or legally authorized representatives can give written informed consent approved by the Ethical Review Board governing the site.
• Capable of giving signed informed consent as described in Appendix 1 which includes compliance with the requirements and restrictions listed in the informed consent form (ICF) and in this protocol.

Exclusion criteria

• Participants who are judged by the investigator as likely to progress to severe/critical COVID-19 prior to randomization.
• Participants who have SpO2≤93% on room air at sea level or PaO2/FiO2≤ 300, or respiratory rate ≥30 per minute.
