Confirmed diagnosis of moderately to severely active RA defined as tender joint count (TJC) = 6 and swollen joint count (SJC) = 6 based on the joint count of 68/66 at screening and prior to D1 (See Appendix 1), with erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) > 28 mm/h and/or C-reactive protein (CRP) >10 mg/L at screening. Joints that have undergone major surgical treatment or joints injected with corticosteroids or hyaluronic acid within 6 weeks prior to D1 will not be included in the TJC and SJC. 4. Continuous use of Methotrexate (MTX) for >= 12 weeks and oral stable doses (7.5-20 mg/week) for >= 4 weeks prior to the first dose of study drug to determine that the subject has an inadequate response to MTX. The dose of MTX is required to remain stable throughout the study. 5. Meet the criteria for permitted medications in concomitant therapy, as detailed in Section 5.5. 6. Body mass index (BMI) of 18–30 kg/m^2 (inclusive) at screening. 7. Women of childbearing potential must have a negative blood human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) pregnancy test at screening; all subjects and their sexual partners agree to take highly effective contraceptive measures during the study and for at least 90 days post-dose (inform in accordance with Appendix 2); male subjects agree not to donate sperms during the study and for 90 days post-dose. 8.

Patients who do not respond well to JAK inhibitor therapy (defined as a poor response to treatment for more than 8 weeks). 8. Patients with rheumatoid arthritis joint functional activity grade (see Appendix 3) grade IV. or patients who need to be wheelchair or bedridden. 9. Non-physiological blood loss within 60 days before taking the drug>=200 mL (including trauma, blood collection, and blood donation); or plan to donate blood during the trial or within 30 days of taking the drug. 10.
