Development Overview

Introduction

Baricitinib is an orally-administered, small-molecule, janus kinase (JAK) inhibitor developed by Eli Lilly and Incyte Corporation, for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis (RA), atopic dermatitis, alopecia areata, giant cell arteritis, psoriatic arthritis, uveitis, systemic lupus erythematosus, hereditary autoinflammatory diseases, polymyalgia rheumatica and COVID-2019 infections. It inhibits JAK1 and JAK2 subtypes, which mediate the signalling of several important drivers of inflammatory diseases, myeloproliferative disorders and malignancies. The drug has greater potency of inhibition against JAK1, JAK2 and TYK2 than JAK3. It also has the potential to disrupt cytokine-mediated activity. The drug is launched and approved in several countries for atopic dermatitis, COVID-2019 infections and rheumatoid arthritis worldwide. Baricitinib is available in Japan, EU, and US for alopecia areata. The drug is approved in Canada for alopecia areata. The drug is approved in Kuwait and India for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis. Drug is approved in EU, Iceland and Liechtenstein for rheumatoid arthritis and atopic dermatitis for treatment experienced patients. The drug is also approved as monotherapy and in combination with remdesivir in the US for COVID-2019 infections. The drug is also approved as monotherapy and in combination with remdesivir, for emergency use in India for treatment of COVID-2019 infections. The product is approved in Japan and Switzerland for the treatment of pneumonia associated with COVID-2019 infections. The regulatory review procedure of drug is withdrawn for COVID-19 infections in EU. Drug is under regulatory review in Japan for treatment-naïve patients with Rheumatoid arthritis and for atopic dermatitis patients with prior treatment in USA. Clinical development is underway in various countries for the treatment of alopecia areata (In adults, In children 6 to less then 18 years), atopic dermatitis, juvenile rheumatoid arthritis, giant cell arteritis, psoriatic arthritis, primary biliary cirrhosis, systemic lupus erythematosus, uveitis, idiopathic inflammatory myopathies, hereditary autoinflammatory diseases, Aicardi-Goutières syndrome, polymyalgia rheumatica, and COVID-2019 infections.

Baricitinib was under phase II development for the treatment of diabetic nephropathies, in the US, Mexico, Japan and Puerto Rico, and for the treatment of psoriasis, in the US, Canada, Japan and Puerto Rico. However, development in these indications was discontinued. Phase II development for rheumatoid arthritis was underway in Ukraine.

Baricitinib is a follow-on compound to ruxolitinib [see Adis Insight Drug profile 800026694], which has entered clinical development.

Company Agreements

In May 2021, Natco Pharma entered into a royalty-free, non-exclusive voluntary licensing agreement with Eli Lilly to manufacture and commercialise baricitinib in India. The financial terms of the agreement are not disclosed. [1]

In May 2021, Dr. Reddy’s Laboratories entered into a royalty-free, non-exclusive voluntary licensing agreement with Eli Lilly to manufacture and commercialise baricitinib in India. Financial terms of the agreement are not disclosed. [2]

The drug will be used to alleviate burden on COVID-19 in combination with remdesivir. Financial terms from the deal were not disclosed. [5]

In April 2020, Eli Lilly and Company entered into a research and development agreement with the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), part of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), to study baricitinib as an arm in NIAID's Adaptive COVID-19 treatment trial. [6]

In April 2019, Incyte elected to no longer co-fund the development of baricitinib, as a result of which, Eli Lilly and Company will solely fund all future development of baricitinib and pay a lower royalty rate to Incyte on future sales. Earlier, in December 2009, Incyte entered into an exclusive worldwide license and collaboration agreement with Eli Lilly and Company for the development and commercialisation of baricitinib and certain follow-on compounds, for inflammatory autoimmune diseases. Eli Lilly and Company was granted worldwide rights to develop and commercialise baricitinib as an oral treatment for all inflammatory conditions. In exchange for these rights, Incyte received an initial payment of $US90 million and became eligible for up to $US665 million in additional potential development, regulatory and commercialisation milestones, as well as tiered, double-digit royalty payments on future global sales. Incyte will retain the option to co-develop its JAK1/JAK2 inhibitors with Lilly on a compound-by-compound and indication-by-indication basis, beginning at the initiation of phase IIb development. Additionally, Incyte has the option to co-promote products in the US. Development of the JAK1/JAK2 inhibitors will be governed by a joint development committee. Incyte exercised its option to co-develop baricitinib with Eli Lilly and Company during the third quarter of 2010. Incyte will be responsible for funding 30% of the associated global development costs through regulatory approval in rheumatoid arthritis, and the company's royalty rate will increase across all tiers, up to the high twenties on potential future global sales. [7] [8] [9]

Key Development Milestones

In January 2023, the EMA’s safety committee (PRAC) further reviewed measures to minimise the risk of serious side effects associated with Janus kinase (JAK) inhibitors used to treat several chronic inflammatory disorders and recommended the use of a lower dose of baricitinib for patients at higher risk of blood clots, cardiovascular conditions and cancer in line with the dosing recommendations for other JAK inhibitors which include updacitinib, abrocitinib and filgotinib [10] . In October 2022, EMA’s safety committee (PRAC) has recommended measures to minimise the risk of serious side effects associated with Janus kinase (JAK) inhibitors used to treat several chronic inflammatory disorders. These side effects include cardiovascular conditions, blood clots, cancer and serious infections.The Committee recommended that these medicines should be used in the following patients only if no suitable treatment alternatives are available: those aged 65 years or above, those at increased risk of major cardiovascular problems (such as heart attack or stroke), those who smoke or have done so for a long time in the past and those at increased risk of cancer. The Committee also recommended using JAK inhibitors with caution in patients with risk factors for blood clots in the lungs and in deep veins (venous thromboembolism, VTE) other than those listed above. Further, the doses should be reduced in some patient groups who may be at risk of VTE, cancer or major cardiovascular problems [11] . Earlier in February 2022, EMA’s safety committee PRAC started a review of the safety of Janus kinase (JAK) inhibitors used to treat several chronic inflammatory disorders (rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, juvenile idiopathic arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, ulcerative colitis and atopic dermatitis). The review was prompted by the final results from a study A3921133 of tofacitinib (Xeljanz). In addition, preliminary findings from an observational study involving another JAK inhibitor, Olumiant (baricitinib), also suggested an increased risk of major cardiovascular problems and VTE in patients with rheumatoid arthritis treated with Olumiant compared with those treated with TNF-alpha inhibitors. PRAC was therefore carryying out a review to determine whether these risks are associated with all JAK inhibitors authorised in the EU for the treatment of inflammatory disorders and whether the marketing authorisations for these medicines should be amended [12] .

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA)

In September 2017, Eli Lilly and Company announced that it has launched baricitinib 2mg and 4mg for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis, including the prevention of structural injury of joints, in patients with an inadequate response to standard-of-care regimens [13] . The Japanese Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare approved the drug in July 2017. The approval was based on the development programme of baricitinib, including the four phase III studies. Eli Lilly and Company had submitted the application with the Pharmaceuticals and Medical Devices Agency, in the first quarter of 2016. The approval triggers a $US15 million milestone payment from Eli Lilly and Company to Incyte Corporation [14] [15] . Data from a 24 week post marketing safety surveillance study did not demonstrate any new safety signals [16] .

In June 2018, the US FDA approved the 2-mg dose of baricitinib for the treatment of patients with moderate to severe rheumatoid arthritis, who have responded inadequately to one or more tumor necrosis factor (TNF) inhibitor therapies. The approval was based on the phase III trial. As part of the approval, the companies have agreed to conduct a randomized controlled clinical trial to evaluate the long-term safety of baricitinib in patients with rheumatoid arthritis. Incyte is now eligible to receive an $US100 million milestone payment from Lilly as a result of baricitinib approval [17] . Baricitinib 4mg and 2mg once-daily tablet was approved by the European Commission in February 2017, for the treatment of patients with moderate to severe rheumatoid arthritis, who have responded inadequately to, or who are intolerant to one or more disease modifying anti-rheumatic drugs (DMARDs). Approval of the MAA will trigger $US65 million milestone payment to Incyte [18] . Earlier in December 2016, the European Medicines Agency's (EMA) Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use (CHMP) had issued a positive opinion, recommending the approval. The committee’s positive opinion was based on five phase III studies of baricitinib (RA-BEGIN, RA-BEAM, RA-BUILD, RA-BEACON and RA-BEYOND) [see below]. The product may be used as a monotherapy or in combination with methotrexate. Eli Lilly had submitted the MAA to the EMA in February 2016. The MAA submission triggered a milestone payment of $US20 million and approval resulted in $US65 million milestone from Lilly to Incyte [19] [15] [20] .

In January 2018, baricitinib was approved in Australia for the treatment of moderate to severe active rheumatoid arthritis (RA) in adult patients who have responded inadequately, or who are intolerant, to one or more disease modifying anti-rheumatic drugs (DMARDs). The drug can be used as monotherapy or in combination with cDMARDs, including methotrexate (MTX) [21] .

Baricitinib was approved in Kuwait and Switzerland in June 2017, for the treatment of patients with rheumatoid arthritis [14]

In April 2018, Eli Lilly and Company and Incyte reported that the US FDA's Arthritis Advisory Committee recommended approval of the once daily 2mg dose of baricitinib, and did not recommend approval of the 4mg dose of baricitinib, for the treatment of moderately-to-severely active rheumatoid arthritis, for adult patients, who have had an inadequate response or intolerance to methotrexate. The decision was taken based on the adequacy of the safety and benefit-risk profiles. The FDA also convened the Committee to discuss on the resubmitted NDA [22] [23] . In January 2018, the US FDA had accepted the resubmission of NDA. The NDA was originally filed in January 2016 [24] [25] [26] . However, in April 2017, in a complete response letter for the NDA, the FDA had indicated that additional clinical data were needed to determine the most appropriate doses and characterise safety concerns across the treatment arms [27] . The NDA was filed in January 2016. Incyte will receive a milestone payment of $US35 million from Lilly related to the NDA submission. Incyte will also receive a milestone payment of $US100 million from Lilly, if baricitinib is granted approval in the US. Lilly will lead launch and global commercialisation efforts for baricitinib in RA, if approved [28] [29] [30] .

In December 2021, Eli Lilly and Company presented updated results from pooled long-term safety data for baricitinib in rheumatoid arthritis at the American College of Rheumatology (ACR) convergence 2021 [31] . In November 2021, pooled long-term safety data for baricitinib in rheumatoid arthritis was released by Eli Lilly and Company [32] .

In November 2021, pooled data from the phase III RA-BEAM (NCT01710358, methotrexate (MTX)-IR patients) and RA-BEACON (NCT01721044, bDMARD-IR patients) [See below] presented at the ACR Convergence 2021 (ACR/ARP-2021) [33] .

The phase III programme for RA consists of four pivotal controlled trials. Upon the initiation of the phase III RA programme in November 2012, Incyte earned a $US50 million milestone payment from Eli Lilly and Company [34] [35] .

In November 2016, pooled analyses data from phase II and III studies, which evaluated the effect of baricitinib and statin therapy on lipid profile in patients with moderately to severely active rheumatoid arthritis, were presented at the 80th American College of Rheumatology and the 51st Annual Meeting of the Association of Rheumatology and Health Professionals (ACR/ARHP-2016) [36] .

In May 2017, Eli Lilly and Company completed a randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled phase III trial that evaluated the efficacy and safety of baricitinib in patients with moderate to severe RA who have had an inadequate response to methotrexate (14875; I4V-CR-JAGS; NCT02265705). Patients continued on background methotrexate, and the primary endpoint was the proportion of patients who achieved ACR20 improvement at 12 weeks. The trial was initiated in October 2014 and enrolled 288 patients in Argentina, Brazil and China. Results from the trial were presented at the 19th Annual Congress of the European League Against Rheumatism (EULAR-2018), in June 2018. Data from the trial were released by the company in June 2020 [37] [38] [39] .

In November 2022, pooled efficacy data from a phase III trial in rheumatoid arthritis from RA-BEYOND and RA-BEACON studies [see below] were presented at the ACR Convergence (ACR-2022) [40]

In October 2020, Eli Lilly and Company completed a long-term phase III extension trial for patients with RA who have participated in a previous trial of baricitinib (RA-BEYOND; 14060; I4V-MC-JADY; NCT01885078; EudraCT2012-003686-17; 14908; CCRN2341; CTRI2014-07-004736; JapicCTI142405). The randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial was initiated in June 2013 and enrolled 2089 patients in Argentina, Australia, Austria, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, China, Croatia, Czech Republic, Denmark, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, India, Israel, Italy, Japan, Latvia, Lithuania, Mexico, Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Puerto Rico, Romania, Russia, Slovakia, Slovenia, South Africa, South Korea, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Taiwan, Turkey, the United Kingdom, the US. Data from the long-term extension trial was presented at the 17th Annual Congress of the European League Against Rheumatism (EULAR-2016). In June 2022, long term efficacy results were presented at the 23rd Annual Congress of the European League Against Rheumatism (EULAR-2022) [41] [42] [43] .

In June 2016, Eli Lilly and Company in collaboration with Incyte Corporation reported statistically significant 52 and 24 weeks data of the phase III RA-BEGIN and RA-BEAM trials. The analysis of the trials demonstrated that in each study, patients treated with baricitinib achieved less impairment in work productivity and daily activities compared to patients taking the comparator (methotrexate or adalimumab), including significant improvements in pain, physical function, tiredness and morning joint stiffness, which were observed as early as one week after initial treatment with baricitinib. The data was presented at the 17th Annual Congress of the European League Against Rheumatism (EULAR - 2016) [44] .

In November 2015, Eli Lilly and Company presented detailed results from the RA-BEAM phase III trial at the 79th American College of Rheumatology and the 50th Annual Meeting of the Association of Rheumatology and Health Professionals (ACR/ARHP-2015) and in November 2016, Eli Lilly and Company and Incyte presented efficacy and safety data from the trial at the 80th American College of Rheumatology and the 51st Annual Meeting of the Association of Rheumatology and Health Professionals (ACR/ARH-2016). The data demonstrated statistical superiority of baricitinib in improvement of all seven ACR response rates in comparison with adalimumab [see Adis Insight Drug profile 800008414]. The study met its primary endpoints thereby demonstrating superior ACR20 responses in baricitinib treatment group relative to the placebo group as per top line results released by Eli Lilly and Company and Incyte Corporation in October 2015 and February 2017 (NCT01710358; EudraCT2012-002322-73). The company initiated the trial in October 2012 in patients with moderate to severe RA who have had an inadequate response to methotrexate. Patients were randomised to receive baricitinib, adalimumab or placebo, while continuing on background methotrexate. Enrolment of approximately 1280 patients was completed in May 2015 in the US, Canada, Puerto Rico, Argentina, Mexico, South Africa, the UK, Belgium, Netherlands, Croatia, Czech Republic, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Switzerland, Russia, China, Japan, South Korea and Taiwan; the study was completed in September 2015 [45] [46] [47] [48] [49] [50] [51] . In June 2019, the company presented the efficacy results of this study at the 20th Annual Congress of the European League Against Rheumatism (EULAR-2019) [52] . In June 2021, the company presented additional efficacy data from the trial at the 22nd Annual Congress of the European League Against Rheumatism (EULAR-2021) [53] . In November 2021, efficacy data from the trial presented at the ACR Convergence 2021 (ACR/ARP-2021) [54] .

Eli Lilly and Company, in September 2015, released results from the phase III RA-BEGIN trial wherein, the trial met its primary endpoints and baricitinib monotherapy was found to be non-inferior to methotrexate monotherapy based on ACR20 response rate after 24 weeks of treatment. Additionally, baricitinib was superior to methotrexate based on ACR20 response. A majority of patients completing the RA-BEGIN trial opted to enrol for the long term extension trial. Eli Lilly and Company had initiated a double-blind, placebo-controlled phase III trial in November 2012 in patients with moderate to severe RA who had limited or no prior treatment with methotrexate, and are naive to other conventional or biologic DMARDs (RA-BEGIN; NCT01711359; EudraCT2012-002324-32). Patients had been randomised to receive baricitinib alone, methotrexate alone, or a combination of the two. The primary endpoint is the proportion of patients who achieve ACR20 improvement at 24 weeks. Enrolment of 600 patients was completed in May 2015 in the US, Canada, Mexico, Argentina, Brazil, Puerto Rico, the UK, Austria, Belgium, Germany, Greece, Italy, Portugal, Sweden, South Africa, Japan, South Korea, Russia and India8. Baricitinib plus methotrexate indicated significant inhibition of progressive radiographic joint damage, versus methotrexate alone [55] [56] [57] . Data demonstrating that compared with methotrexate, baricitinib was not associated with an increase in number of patients with reduction in NK cells. However, treatment with methotrexate and baricitinib was associated with an increase in the number of patients with with low NK cell count, were presented at the 18th Annual Congress of the European League Against Rheumatism (EULAR-2017). In October 2018, the company presented additional data from the trial at the 82nd American College of Rheumatology and the 52nd Association of Rheumatology Health Professionals Annual Scientific Meeting (ACR/ARHP-2018) [58] [59] . In June 2019, the company presented efficacy data at the 20th Annual Congress of the European League Against Rheumatism (EULAR-2019) [60] .

In December 2014, Eli Lilly and Company completed a randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled phase III trial, which assessed the efficacy and safety of baricitinib (4 mg/daily) in patients with moderate to severe RA who have had inadequate response to or are intolerant to conventional DMARDs and who have not received a biologic DMARD (RA-BUILD; 14059; I4V-MC-JADX; NCT01721057; EudraCT2012-002339-27). The global trial enrolled 684 patients in the US, Argentina, Australia, Belgium, Canada, Croatia, Czech Republic, Mexico, Germany, Hungary, Italy, India, Japan, Puerto Rico, Portugal, Poland, Romania, Russia, Slovakia, Spain, South Korea and Taiwan and the UK [61] . In June 2015, the company presented data from the trial at the 16th Annual Congress of the European League Against Rheumatism [62] . In February 2015, the company reported that baricitinib effectively reduced rheumatoid arthritis disease activity, compared with placebo. The study also met its primary endpoint, which was an improved American College of Rheumatology 20% (ACR 20) response rate compared with placebo at 12 weeks [63] .

In September 2014, Eli Lilly and Company completed the global phase III RA-BEACON trial to assess the efficacy and safety of baricitinib (2mg or 4mg daily) in patients with moderate to severe RA who have had an inadequate response to a TNF inhibitor, despite ongoing treatment with conventional DMARDs (RA-BEACON; NCT01721044; EudraCT2012-002323-15). The randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial enrolled 527 patients in the US, Canada, Argentina, Mexico, Puerto Rico, Australia, Japan, South Korea, the UK, Austria, Belgium, Denmark, France, Germany, Greece, Italy, Netherlands, Poland, South Africa, Spain, Switzerland, Turkey, Israel and India [64] . In June 2015, the company presented data from the trial at the 16th Annual Congress of the European League Against Rheumatism [62] . According to top-line results reported in December 2014, the trial met its primary endpoint of improved ACR20 response at 12 weeks [65] . In November 2019, Eli Lilly presented the efficacy data from a phase III RA-BEACON trial in rheumatoid arthritis at the 83rd American College of Rheumatology and the 54th Association of Rheumatology Health Professionals Annual Scientific Meeting (ACR/ARHP-2019) [66] .

A phase IIb randomised clinical trial of baricitinib was initiated in October 2010, in 301 patients with active RA on background methotrexate therapy in the US, Europe, Ukraine, South America and India (NCT01185353; EudraCT2010-022504-42) [67] . The trial was conducted by Eli Lilly and Company in collaboration with Incyte and was completed in April 2012. Results for the primary endpoint (ACR20 response rate at 12 weeks) were released in June 2012 [68] . The trial achieved its primary endpoint, and 12-week data have been reported [50] . Patients, who completed the 12-week portion of the trial continued in the open-label extension of the trial. Results from the 52-week open-label extension portion of the trial were presented at the 14th Annual Congress of the European League Against Rheumatism (EULAR-2013) [69] . The initiation of this trial triggered a milestone payment of $US19 million from Eli Lilly and Company to Incyte [70] . As of October 2015, no further development has been reported in Ukraine.

In December 2013, Eli Lilly and Company completed a phase II clinical trial to assess baricitinib in patients with active RA on background methotrexate therapy. The trial enrolled 144 patients in Japan (NCT01469013) [71] .

Incyte completed a 6-month, double-blind, placebo-controlled, phase II trial of baricitinib in RA in July 2010, and positive results have been reported (NCT00902486; EudraCT2009-011206-42) [72] . The trial enrolled 127 patients from the US and the Czech Republic with RA who had inadequate response to any DMARD therapy [73] [74] [75] .

In October 2018, Eli Lilly and Company presented data from pooled analysis of clinical studies conducted in patients with rheumatoid arthritis at the 82nd American College of Rheumatology and the 52nd Association of Rheumatology Health Professionals Annual Scientific Meeting (ACR/ARHP-2018) [76] .

Atopic dermatitis

In December 2020, the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare approved baricitinib (Olumiant®, 2mg and 4mg tablets) for the treatment of atopic dermatitis in adult patients who have inadequate response to conventional therapies. The product was launched subsequently. Regulatory application seeking approval was submitted in January 2020 [77] [78] [79] .

Prior to October 2020, the European Commission approved baricitinib (Olumiant®) for the treatment of adult patients with moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis (AD) who are candidates for systemic therapy. In September 2020, Eli Lilly and Incyte announced that the Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use (CHMP) of the European Medicines Agency (EMA) issued a positive opinion for baricitinib as a treatment of adult patients with moderate to severe atopic dermatitis (AD). The positive opinion is based on Lilly's phase III BREEZE-AD clinical development programme [see below] for baricitinib evaluating its potential to treat atopic dermatitis [80] [81] . Eli Lilly had submitted a regulatory application in the EU seeking approval for the use of baricitinib as a treatment for patients with moderate to severe atopic dermatitis in January 2020 [78] [82] .

As of April 2022, Eli Lilly and Company received a Complete Response Letter (CRL) from the US FDA for baricitinib (Olumiant®) for the treatment of adults with moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis as the company was not in alignment with the US FDA on the indicated population [83] . In January 2022, Eli Lilly was under discussion with the US FDA regarding the status of the sNDA for baricitinib for the treatment of adults with moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis [84] . In July 2021, Eli Lilly and Company and Incyte reported that the US FDA was not be able to meet the Prescription Drug User Fee Act (PDUFA) target date and complete the review of the supplemental New Drug Application (sNDA) due to the FDA’s ongoing assessment of JAK inhibitors. In April 2021, the FDA had extended the review period for the sNDA by three months, which was submitted in the second quarter of 2020 for the treatment of moderate to severe AD to allow time for additional data analyses [85] [86] [87] [88] .

In July 2019, the EMA accepted the modification of an agreed paediatric investigation plan for baricitinib for the treatment of atopic dermatitis [89] .

In March 2020, Eli Lily and Company presented the pooled efficacy data from a phase III BREEZE-AD1 and BREEZE-AD2 trial in atopic dermatitis at the Annual Meeting of the American Academy of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology (2020) [90] .

In August 2021, Eli Lilly and Company and Incyte Corporation completed the phase III BREEZE-AD5 trial that evaluated the efficacy and safety of 1 mg and 2 mg doses of baricitinib monotherpay in adult patients with moderate to severe atopic dermatitis (I4V-MC-JAIW; 17049; NCT03435081). The randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled was initiated in February 2018 and recruited 450 patients in the US Canada and Puerto Rico. In January 2020, Eli Lilly and Incyte released topline results from its phase III BREEZE-AD5 trial demonstrating the meeting of primary endpoint of proportion of patients achieving at least a 75% or greater change from baseline in their Eczema Area and Severity Index (EASI) at week 16 along with secondary endpoints [91] [92] .

In January 2019, Eli Lily and Company initiated the phase III BREEZE-AD-PEDS trial to assess the pharmacokinetics, efficacy and safety of baricitinib in paediatric patients with moderate to severe atopic dermatitis (I4V-MC-JAIP; EudraCT2018-000349-38; NCT03952559).The randomised, double-blind trial intends to enrol 465 patients aged 2-17 years in Argentina, Germany, Poland, Spain and United Kingdom and will expand to Australia, Austria, Brazil, Czech Republic, France, Greece, Hungary, Israel, Mexico, Russia, Switzerland, Taiwan, Ukraine and the US [93] .

Scientific Summary

  • Adverse Events Occasional: Diarrhoea; Headache; Nasopharyngitis; Respiratory tract infections; Tuberculosis

Pharmacokinetics

After administration of baricitinib to rodents, a free drug fraction of approximately 50%, oral bioavailability of 53% and an elimination half-life of approximately 5 hours were noted [216] .

In a phase I trial, baricitinib administration in healthy volunteers, rapidly declined the plasma concentrations following attainment of peak concentrations, with a mean terminal half-life of 5.7 to 7.3 hours. Steady state plasma concentrations was achieved after the second day of QD dosing, with minimal accumulation of baricitinib in plasma (up to 10%) during 7 days of QD oral doses of 2 to 10mg baricitinib. Single-and multiple dose mean values for AUC (0-∞) and C max resulted in increase in an approximately dose-proportional manner across the dose range [185] [184] .

Adverse Events

Phase III

In the phase III BREEZE-AD1 and BREEZE-AD2 trial, at week 16, the treatment-emergent adverse events and serious adverse events were similar to that of placebo, in patients with moderate to severe atopic dermatitis who received baricitinib. Nasopharyngitis and headache were observed to be the most common treatment-emergent adverse events. No venous thromboembolic events (VTEs), major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE), or deaths were reported [100] [101] [102] .

In the phase III JUVE-BASIS trial, treatment with baricitinibn showed 126 (57.3%) patients reported ≥1 treatment emergent adverse event (TEAE), while 6 (2.7%) reported ≥1 serious adverse event (SAE). In the DBW, 38 (46.9%) and 54 (65.9%) patients reported ≥1 TEAE for PBO and baricitinib, respectively, whereas those with ≥1 SAE were 3 (3.7%) and 4 (4.9%). The mean weeks of exposure was higher in the baricitinib vs PBO group during DBW (26.34 vs 18.91) due to study design. There were no deaths, cardiovascular events or uveitis and 1 case of herpes zoster [159] Earlier in the phase III JUVE-BASIS trial, treatment with baricitinib for the treatment of patients with juvenile rheumatoid arthritis (2 to 17 years of age) demonstrated that safety findings were consistent with the known safety profile in adult rheumatoid arthritis indications. In the pharmacokinetic/safety assessment (PKS) and open-label lead-in (OLLI) periods, 126 (57.3%) pts reported ≥1 treatment emergent adverse event (TEAE), while 6 (2.7%) reported ≥1 serious adverse event (SAE). In the double-blind withdrawal (DBW), 38 (46.9%) and 54 (65.9%) patients reported ≥1 TEAE for placebo (PBO) and baricitinib, respectively, whereas those with ≥1 SAE were 3 (3.7%) and 4 (4.9%). The mean weeks of exposure was higher in the baricitinib vs PBO group during DBW (26.34 vs 18.91) due to study design. There were no deaths, cardiovascular events or uveitis and 1 case of herpes zoster [158] [157] .

Compared with methotrexate, baricitinib monotherapy was associated with lower rates of liver abnormalities, lymphopaenia and adverse events leading to interruption. Interim results from the phase III RA-BEGIN trial demonstrated that the incidence of treatment-emergent adverse events and serious adverse events was similar across all treatment groups. No reports of cases of tuberculosis or gastrointestinal perforation cases were found during the study and the most common adverse events observed were consistent with previous studies of baricitinib in RA. Patients receiving the combination of baricitinib plus methotrexate demonstrated more discontinuations due to adverse events. The randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial enrolled 581 patients who received 4mg baricitinib, administered orally, once daily for 52 weeks, with rescue with methotrexate (4mg) for non-responders at week 24 [55] [56] .

In the phase III RA-BALANCE trial, during weeks 0-24, treatment emergent adverse events and infections were seen in 74.5% and 42.1% of baricitinib patients and 62.1% and 28.3% of placebo patients, respectively. Across the groups, serious adverse events were reported in 2.8% of patients. One non serious oesophageal candidiasis case was observed in the baricitinib group for week 0-24. Three and one herpes zoster events were reported for week 0-24, in the drug and placebo-treated groups, respectively. Major cardiovascular events, deaths, tuberculosis, venous thromboembolic events or malignancies were not reported in the study through week 52 for the drug and through week 24 for placebo group. Unexpected safety signals were not observed [38] [39] .

Baricitinib was generally well tolerated during the RA-BEYOND phase III trial. The incidence of treatment-emergent adverse events, serious adverse events and discontinuation or interruption in treatment were similar between baricitinib and placebo. The long-term extension trial enrolled 2600 patients with rheumatoid arthritis [42] .

Baricitinib 4mg, administered orally, once daily for 24 weeks in patients with moderate to severe rheumatoid arthritis who had an inadequate response to at least one disease-modifying antirheumatic drug (cDMARD) exhibited incidence of treatment-emergent and serious adverse events including serious infections that were similar to placebo, in phase III RA-BUILD study. No opportunistic or gastrointestinal perforations were observed in the study. A patient was reported with tuberculosis after receiving baricitinib. Discontinuation rates due to adverse events were found to be similar between the treatment groups [63] .

Treatment with baricitinib in a phase III RA-BEACON trial was observed to be safe and well tolerated in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) up to 8.4 years. The rate of treatment-emergent adverse events was higher for baricitinib 4mg (77%) and baricitinib 2mg (71%) than for placebo (64%). The incidence of serious adverse events were 10% in 4mg arm, 4% in 2mg arm of baricitinib and 7% for placebo. One death was reported due to stroke in the baricitinib 4mg arm. There were no cases of opportunistic infections, tuberculosis or gastrointestinal perforations. The most commonly reported adverse events in patients on baricitinib were headache, upper respiratory tract infection and nasopharyngitis. The trial enrolled 527 patients with moderate to severe RA who had an inadequate response to a TNF inhibitor, despite ongoing treatment with conventional DMARDs. Baricitinib was dosed at 2mg or 4mg daily for 6 months [37] [213] [214] [65] [64] .

In the RA-BEAM phase III trial, a once-daily, oral baricitinib (4mg) demonstrated similar serious adverse events (SAEs) compared with placebo, and lower SAEs in adalimumab treatment arm (40 mg/biweekly). Serious infection rates were found to be similar across all groups. No gastrointestinal perforations were reported. One event of tuberculosis was reported in each of the baricitinib and adalimumab arms. Five deaths were reported; one in the placebo arm, two in the baricitinib arm, one in the adalimumab arm and one placebo rescued to baricitinib. The rates of treatment emergent adverse events (TEAEs) including, infections were higher for baricitinib and adalimumab arms compared with placebo. Two potential opportunistic infections were reported in the baricitinib arm; neither was reported serious. The most common adverse events reported in baricitinib treatment arm were nasopharyngitis and bronchitis with no cases of gastrointestinal perforations reported. Rates of discontinuations due to AEs were similar across all arms. Specifically, through week 24, 3%, 5% and 2% of patients stopped the therapy due to adverse events in placebo, baricitinib and adalimumab groups, respectively. Serious adverse event rates through 24 weeks were similar with placebo and baricitinib (5% each) and lower with adalimumab (2%). Through week 52, 7% and 4% patients stopping therapy due to AEs for baricitinib and adalimumab groups, respectively. Serious adverse event rates were 8% for baricitinib and 4% for adalimumab. Major adverse cardiovascular events were reported in < 1% of patients in both the baricitinib and adalimumab groups (baseline through 52 weeks). The study evaluated baricitinib, adalimumab or placebo in patients with moderate to severe rheumatoid arthritis who have had an inadequate response to methotrexate [45] [46] [47] [48] [51] .

Results from the phase III BREEZE-AD3 trial in moderate to severe atopic dermatitis (AD) demonstrated a safety profile consistent with the known safety findings of baricitinib in previous 16-week, placebo-controlled AD studies [97] [98] .

Results from the phase III BREEZE-AD4, study in patients with moderate to severe atopic dermatitis showed that the safety profile of baricitinib was consistent with the known safety findings baricitinib. Nasopharyngitis, headache, and influenza were the most common treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) reported. No venous thromboembolic events (VTEs) or deaths were reported in the trial. The trial is enrolling 500 patients [82] [96] .

Safety data of the phase III BREEZE-AD7 trial in patients with moderate to severe atopic dermatitis were consistent with the known safety profile of baricitinib. Nasopharyngitis, upper respiratory tract infection and folliculitis were the most common treatment-emergent adverse events reported. One case of pulmonary embolism and one opportunistic infection were reported in the baricitinib and placebo group, respectively. No malignancies, major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE), or deaths were reported in the study. The trial is enrolling 300 patients [95] [94] .

In phase III COV-BARRIER sub-study, by day 28, the frequency of adverse events, serious adverse events and serious infections were similar in the baricitinib group (88%, 50% and 44%, respectively) compared to placebo (95.9%, 71.4% and 53.1%, respectively). Venous thromboembolic events were reported in six percent of patients treated with baricitinib and 6.1 percent of patients treated with placebo. No new safety signals were identified [122]

In the phase III BREEZE-AD5 trial in patients in moderate to severe atopic dermatitis, baricitinib exhibited a consistent safety profile with the known safety findings. The most common treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs)reported were upper respiratory tract infections, nasopharyngitis, and diarrhea. There were no venous thromboembolic events (VTEs) or deaths were reported in the trial [91] [92]

Treatment with once-daily baricitinib in a phase III BRAVE-AA2 study was observed to be safe and well tolerated in adults with severe alopecia areata. No deaths or major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) or venous thromboembolic events (VTEs) were reported from the study [145] [151]

Results from a phase III COV-BARRIER demonstrated that, the frequency of adverse events and serious adverse events were generally similar in the baricitinib (44.5% and 14.7%, respectively) and placebo (44.4% and 18.0%, respectively) groups. Serious infections and venous thromboembolism (VTE) occurred in 8.5 percent and 2.7 percent of patients treated with baricitinib, respectively, versus 9.8 percent and 2.5 percent of patients treated with placebo. No new safety signals potentially related to the use of baricitinib were identified [124] [126] .

Phase II/III:

The results from the phase II/III BRAVE-AA1 trial in patients with alopecia areata showed that baricitinib was well tolerated. There were no serious adverse events reported in the study for a period of up to 36 weeks. The treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) observed were mild or moderate and the most common included upper respiratory tract infections, nasopharyngitis and acne. Interim results from phase II/III BRAVE-AA1 trial in patients with severe or very severe alopecia areata demonstrated that at week 36, the most common adverse event was upper respiratory tract infection which occurred in 11.1% and 22.2% of patients in the 2 mg and 4 mg treated groups respectively, as compared with 17.9% patients in the placebo group. No serious adverse events, deaths, thrombotic events or new safety concerns were reported. The double-blind, randomised trial enrolled approximately 725 patients [143] [152] [146] .

Phase II:

Results of phase II proof of concept trial indicated that baricitinib at a dose of 4 mg/day was observed to be safe for management of patients with relapsing giant cell arteritis (GCA). At week 52, 14/15 (93%) patients had at least one adverse event recorded with the most frequent events including: infection not requiring antibiotics (n=8), infection requiring antibiotics (n=5), nausea (n=6), leg swelling (n=2), fatigue (n=2), diarrhoea (n=1), abdominal pain (n=1). Two patients contracted COVID-19 during the study, both with mild symptoms, neither hospitalized. Only one patient had a serious adverse event during the study (transient thrombocytopenia attributed to concomitant use of antimicrobial therapy) [179] [180] .

Phase II:

Baricitinib was well tolerated in a phase II study conducted in patients with moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis. In topical corticosteroid (TCS) alone arm, 49% patients showed treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAE), while it was 46% and 71% in 2mg and 4mg baricitinib arms, respectively. The most common TEAE were upper respiratory tract infections and nasopharyngitis, headache, and increases in asymptomatic laboratory changes, namely increases in creatine phosphokinase were the most common TEAE in 4mg baricitinib with TCS arm. A randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled study was carried out in 124 patients [103] [104] .

The most frequently reported adverse events associated with baricitinib (1mg, 2mg, 4mg and 8mg) or placebo administered for 12 weeks were infections. The rate of infection was similar between the baricitinib and placebo groups (12%) in the phase IIb JADA trial in 301 patients with rheumatoid arthritis. There were no deaths or opportunistic infections in all baricitinib groups. Seven serious adverse events were reported in six patients (two events in the placebo group, four and one in the 2mg and 8mg baricitinib groups, respectively). Dose-dependent changes in laboratory parameters were also observed; these were more pronounced in the 8mg baricitinib group [68] . 24-week outcomes were similar to those observed in the first 12 weeks, with no opportunistic infections or deaths over the study period [215] . Following the 52-week open-label extension portion of the trial, treatment-emergent adverse events occurred in 53% of patients receiving 4mg baricitinib, serious adverse events in 10%, infections in 31% and serious infections in 4%. Among patients receiving the 8mg dose, treatment-emergent adverse events occurred in 63%, serious adverse events in 9%, infections in 40% and serious infections in 2%. No opportunistic infections or cases of tuberculosis were reported. One death occurred in the 8mg dose group due to a suspected myocardial infarction [69] .

Once-daily, oral baricitinib (4, 7 and 10 mg) was well tolerated in 12-week results from a phase II trial of the drug in patients with inadequately controlled rheumatoid arthritis. All doses of baricitinib were generally well tolerated in this study. Most adverse events (AEs) were mild-to-moderate in intensity with a frequency similar to that observed in the placebo group. One unrelated serious AE (a gastrointestinal bleed) was observed. There were no cases of thrombocytopenia, and haemoglobin and haematocrit levels remained steady in patients treated with baricitinib at 4 or 7 mg/day, whilst the 10 mg dose of the drug showed a modest decrease in these parameters over time [74] . In final results from this trial, The frequency of treatment-emergent adverse events in placebo, and baricitinib 4mg, 7mg and 10mg groups was 61.3%, 48.4%, 59.4% and 74.2%, respectively, with headache (10.6% vs. 6.5% for placebo), upper respiratory tract infection (5.3% vs. 9.7% for placebo) and diarrhoea (5.3% vs. 6.5% for placebo) being the most frequently reported. One subject reported an unrelated serious AE (GI bleed). At week 12, two cases of herpes zoster were reported (2.1% vs. 0% for placebo). Increases were observed in HDL and LDL, and HDL:LDL ratios tended to increase with therapy (10.06% vs. 0.41% for placebo). The rates of malignancy, serious infection and herpes zoster did not increase over time including long-term observations [44] .

In a phase II trial conducted in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus, rates of adverse events leading to treatment discontinuation and serious AEs were higher for both baricitinib dose groups compared with placebo. Treatment emergent adverse events (TEAEs) were reported in 68 (64.8%), 75 (71.4%) and 76 (73.1%) patients in the placebo, 2 mg and 4 mg arms, respectively. The most common TEAEs in the baricitinib group were upper respiratory tract infections, including viral upper respiratory infections, and urinary tract infections. Serious adverse events were reported in 5 (4.8%), 11 (10.5%) and 10 (9.6%) patients in the placebo, 2 mg and 4 mg arms, respectively. Serious infections were reported in 1 (1%), 2 (1.9%) and 6 (5.8%) patients in the placebo, 2 mg and 4 mg arms, respectively. The percentage of patients who discontinued the therapy through 24-week period was 21%, 18% and 17% in the placebo, 2mg and 4mg dosing arms of baricitinib, respectively. There were no deaths, malignancies, major adverse cardiovascular events, tuberculosis, or serious herpes zoster infections; one SAE of deep vein thrombosis was reported in a patient with risk factors in the 4mg group. The trial was conducted in 314 patients [172] [171] [170] .

In a phase I trial, baricitinib administration reported incidence of treatment-emergent AEs (TEAEs) in 33.3% of healthy volunteers with mild severity. No serious AEs were reported with no withdrawn due to AEs. An apparent increase in the incidence of drug-related TEAEs was reported over the 2 to 10mg dose range, with a comparable incidence same as placebo at the 10mg dose [185] [184] .

Pooled analysis

Results from a post-hoc analysis of the phase III RA-BUILD and RA-BEAM studies demonstrated similar rates of adverse events, serious adverse events and serious infections between patients treated with placebo and baricitinib in patients younger than 65 years and patients 65 years or older [212] [51] [61] .

Pooled data from clinical studies conducted in 3 492 patients with rheumatoid arthritis demonstrated that for arterial thrombotic events (ATE) and major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE), the frequency of reported events and incidence rates (IR) were low, comparable across treatments and analysis sets, and did not increase with prolonged exposure. For deep vein thrombosis and/or pulmonary embolism (DVT/PE), events (n = 6) were reported for baricitinib 4 mg but not placebo during the 24-week placebo-controlled period. This imbalance was not replicated during 24 weeks after switch to baricitinib 4-mg from placebo (N = 928, one event) or active comparator (N = 451, zero events). DVT/PE IRs were comparable between baricitinib 2- and 4-mg doses at longer exposure, and the frequency of permanent discontinuation following a DVT/PE event was low (n = 5; 0.1%; IR = 0.06) [76] .

In a post hoc analysis of a long-term study of baricitinib in patients with active rheumatoid arthritis who were inadequate responders to conventional synthetic disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (csDMARD) or biologic DMARDs (bDMARD), non new safety concerns were observed through 2.3 years of treatment [16] .

In a pooled analysis of nine trials including 3 770 patients with rheumatoid arthritis who had received a total of 13 148 patient years of exposure with time on treatment ranging to a maximum of 8.4 years (median 4.2 years), no new safety concerns were reported [16] .

Updated results of the phase III ACTT-2 trial demonstrated that the combination of baricitinib and remdesivir had slightly fewer serious adverse effects in patients (n = 1 033) with hospitalised COVID-2019 infections [134] [135] . Interim results showed that adverse events and serious adverse events were reported in 41% and 15% of patients treated with baricitinib in combination with remdesivir, respectively, vs. 48% and 20% in patients treated with remdesivir. Infections and venous thromboembolism (VTE) occurred in 6% and 4% of patients treated with baricitinib in combination with remdesivir, respectively, vs. 10% and 3% of patients treated with remdesivir. No new safety signals were identified for baricitinib-treated patients [132] [129] .

Pooled data from the BRAVE-AA1 and BRAVE-AA2 trials of baricitinib in 1303 patients who received ≥1 dose of baricitinib, reflecting 2218 patient-years of exposure indicated that the majority (93.2%) of treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs), in all-BARI were mild to moderate in severity and the incidence rates of SAEs (IR=2.9) and treatment discontinuations due to adverse events (IR=1.9) were low. In all-BARI, the IR of serious infections was low (n=16, IR=0.7) and the most common serious infections were COVID-19 (IR=0.1) and COVID-19 pneumonia (IR=0.2). There was 1 opportunistic infection (multi-dermatomal herpes zoster) (IR<0.05), 44 cases of herpes zoster (IR=2.0), 1 positively adjudicated MACE (myocardial infarction) (IR<0.05; baricitinib 2mg), 2 pulmonary embolisms (IR=0.1; baricitinib 2mg), 4 malignancies other than non-melanoma skin cancer (IR=0.2; n=2 baricitinib 2mg and 4mg) and 1 gastrointestinal perforation (IR<0.05; baricitinib 4mg). No deaths were reported. The commonly reported treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) were included upper respiratory tract infections, headache and acne. No deaths or venous thromboembolic events (VTEs) were reported in the trials. The safety profile of baricitinib in the studies was consistent with its known safety profile in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and atopic dermatitis (AD) [145] [146] [148] [144] .

Pooled long-term safety data for baricitinib in rheumatoid arthritis across nine randomised studies and one long-term extension study in 3770 patients with a median exposure of 4.6 years and a maximum exposure of 9.3 years showed that, the overall incidence rate of adverse events per 100 patient years of exposure was 22.6, and the incidence rate of serious adverse events was 7.4. Incidence rates remained stable over time across the 14 744 patient years of exposure. The incidence rate of serious infections was 2.58 per 100 patient years of exposure. Adverse events of special interest included venous thromboembolic events (pulmonary embolism, incidence rate=0.26; deep vein thrombosis, incidence rate=0.35; deep vein thrombosis and/or pulmonary embolism, incidence rate=0.49) and major adverse cardiovascular events (incidence rate=0.51) within the range of incidence rates described in epidemiological studies in the general RA population. Incidence rates of safety events of special interest among those treated with baricitinib remained stable through exposures up to 9.3 years and were generally similar between the baricitinib 2-mg and 4-mg groups. In a subgroup of patients over 50 years old who had at least one cardiovascular risk factor (current smoker, hypertension, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol <40 mg/dL, diabetes, or arteriosclerotic cardiovascular disease), the incidence rate of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) was 0.77 (0.56, 1.04) per 100 patient years of exposure vs. 0.51 in the total study population. The IR (95% CI) of MACE for patients age ≥50 years was 0.68 (0.52, 0.88). The SIR (95% CI) for malignancies excluding NMSC based on the SEER17 standard was 1.07 (0.90, 1.26); the SMR (95% CI) was 0.74 (0.59, 0.92) showing that the incidence of malignancy and death in patients treated with bari appear similar to the general US population. EAIRs (95% CI) for patients while receiving bari 2-mg (PYE=2678) and bari 4-g (PYE=11 872) were as follows, DVT 2-mg 0.41 (0.21, 0.73) and 4-mg 0.35 (0.25, 0.48); PE 2-mg 0.26 (0.11, 0.54) and 4-mg 0.27 (0.18, 0.38); and DVT/PE 2-mg 0.49 (0.26, 0.83) and 4-mg 0.51 (0.39, 0.66). In this study, age-adjusted incidence rates for malignancy (incidence rate=0.92) and mortality (incidence rate=0.6) for patients treated with baricitinib appeared similar to the general US population [31] [32] .

In a 52-week pooled analyses (BRAVE-AA1 and BRAVE-AA2 trials) of baricitinib 4mg and 2mg long-term safety in patients with alopecia areata, incidence rates of frequently reported adverse events up to 52 weeks (median 56 weeks exposure) were consistent with the 36-week, placebo-controlled period and included upper respiratory tract infection, headache, acne, urinary tract infection and increases in muscle-related blood markers. There were no new safety signals [142] .

Pharmacodynamics

Summary

Updated results of the phase II JAHH trial in patients (n = 270) with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) showed that baricitinib treatment resulted in a rapid and sustained significant decrease in anti-dsDNA antibodies compared with placebo, among anti-dsDNA positive SLE patients. Baricitinib 4 mg treatment resulted n a statistically significant decrease in IgG and anti-cardiolipin IgM levels at Weeks 12 and 24, and in anti-Smith at Week 24, suggesting baricitinib may affect B-cell activity in SLE. Among patients with low levels of C3 and C4 at baseline, no significant differences in median change from BL were observed over time with baricitinib compared with placebo. In patients with high levels of anti-Smith and aCL IgM at baseline, significant decreases in median levels were observed over time for baricitinib. No significant changes in median values from BL were observed for aCL IgG, aCL IgA, anti-RNP, Ro/SSA and Ro/SSB autoantibodies. Previously, the trial results showed that baricitinib 4 mg treatment was associated with statistically significant decreases of serum IL-12/23p40 and IL-6 at week 12 which continued through week 24. Serum IFN-α or IFN-γ were not reduced with baricitinib treatment. At week 0, serum IL-17A, IL-12/23p40, IL-6, IFN-γ and IFN-α were readily detectable. The IL-12/23p40 was detectable in 100% of patients versus 100% of controls, IFN-γ in 89% of patients versus 66% of controls, IL-6 in 53% of patients versus. 12% of controls and in IFN-α 41% of patients versus 2% of controls. Detection of serum IL-2, GM-CSF, IL-5, IL-10 and IL-17A was variable. At baseline (week 0), IL-12/23p40 was positively correlated with SLEDAI and IFN gene signature and negatively correlated with serum C4. The IL-6 was positively correlated with joint swelling, joint tenderness, IFN-γ and C3. Serum IFN-α was positively correlated with serum IFN-γ, anti-Sm and anti-RNP, and the IFN gene signature. Treatment with baricitinib 4 mg significantly decreased serum IL12/23p40 and IL-6 cytokine levels at week 12 (p < 0.05) but not serum IFN-α or IFN-γ levels [176] [175] [170] [177]

Pooled analyses data from phase II and III studies, conducted in patients with moderately to severely active rheumatoid arthritis, showed that baricitinib 4mg od was associated with increased LDL-C, HDL-C, and TG levels, with a stable LDL-C/HDL-C ratio. The lipid elevation plateaued after week 12. By nuclear magnetic resonance, baricitinib did not significantly affect total LDL particle number while the small, dense potentially more atherogenic LDL particle numbers decreased. Baricitinib significantly increased HDL-C, the total number of HDL particles, all HDL subfractions, and TG-rich lipoproteins. The magnitude of lipid change was not significantly different between baseline statin users and nonusers. In patients who initiated statin therapy before week 24, the elevation in total cholesterol (n = 18), LDL-C and TG decreased to pretreatment levels in response to statin therapy, while HDL-C remained elevated with statin therapy. Similar results in lipids changes and response to initiation of statin therapy were observed for apolipoprotein A1 and apolipoprotein B corresponding to HDL-C and LDL-C [36] .

Janus kinases JAK1 and JAK2 were inhibited by baricitinib 0.3 nmol/L in vitro. This inhibition was selective, relative to > 26 other kinases including JAK3. The signalling of multiple pro-inflammatory cytokines, including interleukin (IL)-6 and IL-23, was inhibited by baricitinib at concentrations of < 50 nmol/L. Cytochrome P450 enzymes were not inhibited by baricitinib [216] .

In rats with adjuvant-induced arthritis, the clinical score and histological signs of disease improved after daily administration of baricitinib at doses of ≤2 mg/kg [216] .

Antimicrobial Activity

Summary

Therapeutic Trials

In a phase II trial conducted in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus, a significantly greater proportion of patients receiving baricitinib 4-mg achieved resolution of SLEDAI-2K arthritis or rash, compared with placebo (67% vs 53%, p<0.05); and SRI-4 response (64% vs 48%, p < 0.05) at week 24. At week 24, the proportion of patients achieving flare reduction (SELENA-SLEDAI Flare Index [SFI]), Lupus Low Disease Activity State (LLDAS), and tender joint count (TJC) change from baseline were also significantly improved for baricitinib 4-mg compared with placebo. No statistically significant differences were observed between baricitinib 2-mg and placebo in any of the endpoints. Treatment-induced changes were reported in the bari 4-mg versus PBO group at early time points (Wks 2 and 4; bari 4-mg > 2-mg). No changes were observed in the serum cytokine levels at 4 mg dose of baricitinib. Statistically significant changes were reported for type I and II IFN responsive genes, and in the JAK/signal transducer and activator of transcription (STAT) canonical and noncanonical signaling pathways, in the bari 4-mg versus PBO group comparisons. A decrease in gene expression from BL was reported with bari, compared to PBO, for interleukin (IL)-3, -5, -6, -7, and granulocyte macrophage colony-stimulating factor pathways, which attributed to inhibition of JAK/STAT signaling. Among patients who were anti-dsDNA positive at baseline, significant decreases of anti-dsDNA antibodies were observed for BARI 2-mg and 4-mg compared to placebo beginning at weeks 2 and 4, respectively, and continuing through week 24. Moreover, reductions of IgG levels were found for BARI-treated patients including significant decreases for BARI 4-mg compared to placebo at weeks 12 and 24. Among patients who had low levels of C3 and C4 at baseline, no significant differences in median change from baseline were observed over time with BARI compared to placebo. For patients who were anti-dsDNA positive at baseline, no relationship in SRI-4 responder rate was observed for those who stayed positive or achieved normal levels by week 24, possibly due to the limited sample size [174] [173] [171] [170] .

Giant cell arteritis

Phase II:

Results of phase II proof of concept trial indicated that baricitinib at a dose of 4 mg/day was observed to be effective for management of patients with relapsing giant cell arteritis (GCA). At week 52, erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) and C-reactive protein (CRP) were significantly lower at week 24 and week 52 compared to pre-enrollment values. Patient global assessment at week 0 was also significantly improved at both week 24 and week 52. Only 1 of 14 (7%) patients relapsed during the study (same patient at week 24 and week 52) The remaining 13 patients achieved steroid discontinuation and remained in disease remission during the duration of the 52-week study. Among patients completing the study, 4/14 (29%) flared during the 12-week follow up period after baricitinib discontinuation [179] [180] .

Rheumatoid arthritis

Phase III

Data from the phase III RA-BEAM trial of baricitinibcitinib 4mg demonstrated that, baricitinib 4-mg + MTX treatment provided superior pain relief compared to adalimumab + MTX in patients with RA who did not achieve ≥ 50% improvement in swollen joint count at W12 and W24. Most patients achieved swollen joint count 50% improvement when treated with baricitinib + MTX (365/487, 74.9%) and adalimumab + MTX (228/330, 69.1%) at W12. For patients who did not achieve 50% improvement in swollen joint count at W12, those treated with baricitinib 4-mg + MTX reported significantly greater improvements in pain (-24.3 vs -13.4, p< 0.001) than adalimumab + MTX. This difference was not observed consistently in the group achieving swollen joint count 50%. The significant interaction test (p=0.008) between treatment and subgroup defined by swollen joint count 50% improvement at W12 implies a differential effect of baricitinib on pain not associated with the improvement in inflammation. A similar trend was found at W24. Additionally, at W12, the magnitude of pain reduction difference between baricitinib + MTX and adalimumab + MTX in the groups achieving or not achieving swollen joint count 20% improvement was directionally similar to results using swollen joint count 50% as the threshold, but this analysis is limited by small sample size in the non-responder group [54] . Updated results of the phase III RA-BEAM trial of baricitinibcitinib 4mg over 52 weeks in patients (n = 487) with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and an inadequate response to methotrexate showed that majority of patients achieved low disease activity (LDA) and had no structural progression. Patients with high baseline disease activity were associated with longer time to achieve LDA. Patients with higher baseline structural damage in addition to high disease activity were less likely to achieve LDA, but consistent with the other groups, had similar low rate of joint damage progression. Long-term maintenance and continued improvement in Clinical Disease Activity Index (CDAI) were observed with baricitinibcitinib treatment. baricitinibcitinib 4mg treated patients were classified into three groups based on their CDAI trajectory patterns, group 1 (n = 344, 71%), group 2 (n = 56, 11%), and group 3 (n = 87, 18%). Group 1 had lower baseline CDAI (34), achieved CDAI≤10 (LDA) rapidly and maintained LDA up to 52 weeks. Group 2 had higher CDAI at baseline (48), responded quickly, and although patients took longer to attain LDA, they continued to show CDAI improvement. Group 3 had similar baseline CDAI values (48) to Group 2 but higher baseline damage (mean total Sharp score [mTSS] of 50, versus 41 for Groups 1 and 2). Most Group 3 patients did not achieve LDA but continued to show improvement over time. The majority of patients had no radiographic progression with the highest proportion in Group 1. The trajectories of average pain VAS, Health Assessment Questionnaire–Disability Index (HAQ-DI), tender joint count 28, and swollen joint count 28 were consistent in all three groups [52] . Additional results from the trial reported statistically significant improvements (P<0.05) with baricitinibcitinib and adalimumablimumab versus placebo were reported as early as week 1 for pain, MJS severity, HAQ-DI, and PtGA and at week 4 for FACIT-F and SF-36 PCS scores. Statistically significantly larger improvements (P<0.05) were reported as early as week 2 for pain, PtGA, week 3 for MJS severity, and week 4 for HAQ-DI and SF-36 PCS scores. These improvements were maintained to week 12 [53] . Interim results of the RA-BEAM trial of once-daily, oral baricitinibcitinib (4mg) met its primary objective by demonstrating superiority over adalimumablimumab and placebo arm after 12 weeks of treatment based on ACR20 response. A significantly higher proportion of patients taking baricitinibcitinib showed low disease activity, assessed by the 28-joint Disease Activity Score (using high-sensitivity C reactive protein [DAS28-CRP]), Simplified Disease Activity Index (SDAI) and CDAI scores, as compared with adalimumablimumab at weeks 12 and 52. baricitinibcitinib significantly improved joint pain, severity of morning joint stiffness and tiredness, compared to placebo, as early as day 3 and significantly improved duration of morning joint stiffness by day 5. Improvements were significantly greater in the baricitinibcitinib arm compared with the adalimumablimumab arm by day 17 (joint pain), day 19 (severity of morning joint stiffness) and day 21 (tiredness). At 12 weeks, 75% of patients treated with baricitinibcitinib reported clinically meaningful improvement in physical function versus 71% of patients treated with adalimumablimumab (p = 0.302). At 24 weeks, 73% of patients treated with baricitinibcitinib reported clinically meaningful improvement in physical function compared with 64% of patients treated with adalimumablimumab (p < 0.05) and at 52 weeks, 68% of patients treated with baricitinibcitinib reported clinically meaningful improvement in physical function compared with 58% of patients treated with adalimumablimumab (p < 0.01). Also, at 52 weeks, the treatment with baricitinibcitinib was associated with significant improvement in pain, and the physical health components of quality of life, including clinically meaningful improvement in fatigue compared with patients treated with adalimumablimumab. Improvements in ACR50 and ACR70 responses were statistically significant as compared with adalimumablimumab at weeks 12, 20, 28, 32 and 40. At week 52, baricitinibcitinib treatment significantly improved all seven components of the American College of Rheumatology (ACR) composite score, including ACR20, ACR50 and ACR70 response rates as compared with injectable adalimumablimumab (40 mg/biweekly), although only ACR 50 was statistically significant. At 52 weeks, baricitinibcitinib significantly improved the mean number of swollen and tender joints, physical function, and reduction in pain versus adalimumablimumab. Additionally, significant improvement in the structural changes in the joints were observed in both baricitinibcitinib and adalimumablimumab arms compared with placebo. baricitinibcitinib exhibited improved ACR20 response rate versus adalimumablimumab arm after 12 weeks of treatment, and prevented progressive radiographic structural joint damage followed by 24 weeks of treatment, compared with the placebo group. The baricitinibcitinib treatment related benefits observed at 12 and 24 weeks of study were consistent through 52 weeks of therapy. The 52-week study evaluated 1 305 patients who had active, moderate-to-severe RA and were undergoing methotrexate treatment. The patients were divided into two groups of baricitinibcitinib (n = 487) and placebo (n = 488) or adalimumablimumab (n = 330)treatment [45] [46] [44] [47] [48] [51] .

Once daily baricitinib resulted in low rates of radiographic progression of structural joint damage, for up to a period of two years, in the phase III long term extension RA-BEYOND trial in subjects with rheumatoid arthritis. The 4 mg dose was associated with the most robust benefit. Among DMARD-naive subjects, rates were significantly lower for patients who received initial baricitinib, compared with those initially treated with methotrexate. For patients with an inadequate response to the methotrexate/conventional synthetic DMARD regimen, rates of progression were significantly lower in the initial baricitinib cohort versus the initial placebo cohort, and comparable with the initial adalimumab cohort. Previously reported data demonstrated superior efficacy with baricitinib, through 48 weeks. The long-term extension trial enrolled 2600 patients with rheumatoid arthritis. In the long term extension placebo-treated patients achieved comparable response rates to patients in the baricitinib 4mg arm by week 48 (24 weeks after switch to baricitinib 4mg) and up to week 360. Of patients enrolled to RA-BEYOND, approximately 50% in baricitinib 4 mg, 65% in 2mg and 61% in placebo remained active at week 156, 17%, 26% and 26% at week 360, respectively. Simple disease activity index (SDAI) low-disease activity (LDA) response rates were 47%/70% and 61%/74% for patients treated with baricitinib 4mg and 2mg, at week 156 (year 3)/ 360 (year 6.9), respectively; SDAI remission response rates were 15%/26% and 6%/26% for baricitinib 4mg and 2mg, at week 156/360, respectively. SDAI and CDAI had comparable response rates. DAS-28CRP LDA response rates were similar to SDAI and CDAI, while remission response rate were about twice those of SDAI and CDAI. HAQ-DI = 0.5 response rates was 15%/26% (baricitinib 4mg), 21%/15% (baricitinib 2mg), and 9%/3% (placebo) at 3/6.9 yrs [41] [211] [42] [43] .

In the phase III JUVE-BASIS trial, baricitinib significantly reduced time to and frequency of juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) flares in patients with JIA versus placebo (PBO), and improved JIA-ACR scores in the majority of patients within 12 weeks. Out of 220 patients enrolled, 29 participated in the PKS, 219 entered the open-label lead-in (OLLI), and 163 entered the double-blind withdrawal (DBW). The JIA-ACR30/50/70/90 response at week 12 was 76.3%/63.5%/46.1%/20.1%, respectively. During the DBW, time of flare was significantly shorter with PBO vs baricitinib (hazard ratio 0.24 [95% CI 0.13,0.45], p< 0.001. The proportion of patients with a flare during the DBW was significantly lower for baricitinib vs PBO (14 (17.1%) vs. 41 (50.6%), p< 0.001) [159] Earlier, in the phase III JUVE-BASIS trial, baricitinib significantly reduced time to and frequency of Juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) flares in patients with JIA versus placebo (PBO), and improved JIA-ACR scores in the majority of patients within 12 weeks. Of 220 patients enrolled, 29 participated in the pharmacokinetic/safety assessment (PKS), 219 entered the open-label lead-in (OLLI), and 163 entered the double-blind withdrawal (DBW). The JIA-ACR30/50/70/90 response at week 12 was 76.3%/63.5%/46.1%/20.1%, respectively. During the DBW, time of flare was significantly shorter with PBO vs baricitinib (hazard ratio 0.24 [95% CI 0.13,0.45], p < 0.001). The proportion of patients with a flare during the DBW was significantly lower for baricitinib vs PBO (14 (17.1%) vs. 41 (50.6%), p < 0.001) [158] [157] .

In the phase III RA-BALANCE trial, a significantly greater primary ACR20 response was displayed by baricitinib-treated patients, as compared with placebo, wherein the respective values for the two groups were 58.6% and 28.3%, (p≤0.001). ACR20/50/70, DAS28-hsCRP, CDAI low disease activity and SDAI low disease activity values significantly improvemed in patients receiving baricitinib versus placebo at weeks 12 and 24, many as early as by week 1. Significantly less radiographic progression was seen in patients receiving baricitinib, as compared with placebo at week 16, with numerical improvement seen at week 24. In the twelfth week, significant improvement in HAQ-DI minimum clinically important difference ≥0.3 (physical function), duration of morning joint stiffness, severity of morning joint stiffness numeric rating scale (NRS), worst tiredness NRS and reduced pain (0-100mm VAS) were observed in patients receiving baricitinib, as compared with placebo. In addition, 52% of patients initially treated with baricitinib were observed to be in the state of low disease activity (LDA) at week 24 and maintained up to week 148 [37] [38] [39] .

In the RA-BEGIN phase III trial, 81% of patients receiving baricitinib (bari) monotherapy and 79% of patients receiving baricitinib plus methotrexate achieved clinically meaningful improvement in physical function versus 70% among those receiving methotrexate alone therapy (p < 0.05), at 24weeks. At 52 weeks, 68% of patients on baricitinib monotherapy and 72% of patients on baricitinib in combination with methotrexate achieved clinically meaningful improvements in physical function compared to 57% of those treated with methotrexate alone (p < 0.05). LDA and remission response rates in the delayed-start group resulted in an increase from 60% to 78% and 18% to 31%, respectively, within 4 weeks after switching to bari 4-mg. Remission rates reached 47% within 1 year after switching, but were not different from the group that initiated bari. The delayed-start group showed a rapid improvement in HAQ-DI. Reduction in the rate of structural damage was reported in initiating bari, whereas delayed initiation of bari for 1 year resulted in numerically higher mTSS [60] . Baricitinib (as monotherapy or in combination with methotrexate) was also associated with significant improvement in pain and the physical health components of the quality of life assessment, including clinically meaningful improvement in fatigue compared with methotrexate alone treatment, at 24 as well as 52 weeks treatment. All of the improvements with baricitinib were statistically significant at week 24 and week 52, compared to methotrexate alone. Updated results showed that the mean baseline pain VAS ranged from 58.7 to 65.2 with a 6-month mean change in pain of -28.3 to -33.5 for the methotrexate arm. Similar HAQ-DI and changes in HAQ-DI for the methotrexate arm were observed. At week 24, baricitinib showed numerically greater improvement over methotrexate in pain, than that for tocilizumab, adalimumab and tofacitinib. Patients treated with baricitinib showed significantly greater improvement in HAQ-DI at week 24 than tocilizumab and adalimumab, but not tofacitinib. The 52-week study evaluated baricitinib used as monotherapy or in combination with methotrexate versus methotrexate alone treatment in patients with rheumatoid arthritis, who had limited or no previous treatment with any disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARDs) [58] [58] [44] [57] .

Baricitinib 4mg, administered orally, once daily at 24 weeks demonstrated statistically significant improvement in rheumatoid arthritis disease activity in comparison with placebo in the second consecutive study of phase III RA-BUILD trial in patients with moderate to severe rheumatoid arthritis who showed inadequate response to at least one disease-modifying antirheumatic drug (cDMARD) [63] .

Pooled analysis

Results from a post-hoc analysis of the phase III RA-BUILD and RA-BEAM studies demonstrated that efficacy of baricitinib was not affected by the age of the patients. At week 12, 67% patients younger than 65 and 68% older than 65 years achieved ACR20 and 20% improvement across various aspects of RA, whereas ACR20 was achieved by 40% of patients younger than 65 years and 43% older than 65 years of age. Proportion of patients in the low, middle and high BMI groups who achieved an ACR20 response were 68.4%, 68% and 64.7%, respectively. At week 12, in the baricitinib 4 mg groups, 67.9%, 67.3% and 66.9% of patients achieved an ACR20 response, and previously used methotrexate alone, methotrexate + 1 csDMARD and methotrexate + ≥2 csDMARDs, respectively. ACR50 responses were also similar across the groups (42.5%, 42.9% and 39.2%, respectively) and ACR70 responses were 21.4%, 19.5% and 13.3% respectively [212] [51] .

Pooled data from the phase III RA-BEAM (NCT01710358, methotrexate (MTX)-IR patients) and RA-BEACON (NCT01721044, bDMARD-IR patients) showed that, Irrespective of being MTX-IR or bDMARD-IR, baricitinib 4-mg had a proportion of effects on fatigue that were independent of disease activity in patients with active RA. The direct fatigue relief effect of baricitinib 4-mg over placebo was significant starting week 16, whereas that of adalimumab was not. In MTX-IR patients (RA-BEAM trial), disease activity-mediated effect accounted for 50-60% of the fatigue improvement in both baricitinib 4-mg and adalimumab over PBO. The total effect, direct effect (i.e., those not associated with disease activity), and mediation effect of treatment on fatigue relief continuously increased in baricitinib 4-mg group from week 12 to week 24 (Table 1). Additionally, the total effect and mediation effect of baricitinib 4-mg over PBO on FACIT-F were numerically greater than that of adalimumab over PBO from week 12 to 24. The direct fatigue relief effect of baricitinib 4-mg over placebo was significant starting week 16, but that of adalimumab was not. In bDMARD-IR patients (RA-BEACON trial), about 20-30% of the effects of baricitinib 4-mg on FACIT-F were independent of disease activity [33] .

Results from a phase III long-term extension study showed that that 4 mg once daily was the most efficacious dose of baricitinib for patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA); increases in disease activity were consistently seen with dose reduction from 4 mg to 2 mg in well-controlled patients. Among patients who achieved sustained disease control with baricitinib 4 mg, dose reduction to 2 mg resulted in significant increases in disease activity at 12, 24, and 48 weeks; however, the majority of patients in both groups maintained the state of low-dose activity (LDA) or remission. Rescue rates were 7.3% for baricitinib 4 mg, 17.1% for baricitinib 2 mg. Most rescued patients could regain LDA or remission [217] [51] [64] [61] .

The randomised, double-blind phase III RA-BEACON trial of baricitinib in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) met its primary endpoint of improved ACR20 response at 12 weeks, compared to placebo. Updated results from phase III trial showed that the baricitinib 2mg treated patients was classified into three groups based on their CDAI trajectory patterns, group 1 (n = 90, 52%), group 2 (n =29, 17%), and group 3 (n = 55, 32%). Group 1 had lower baseline CDAI (34), achieved 53% improvement in group mean of CDAI at week 4 and 64% improvement at week 12, maintained similar improvement till week 24. Group 2 had higher CDAI at baseline (51), 32% improvement in group mean of CDAI at week 4 and higher improvement at week 12 (52%) and week 24 (66%). Group 3 had similar baseline CDAI values (48) to Group 2 but smaller improvement in CDAI and 18% at week 24. The majority of patients had no radiographic progression with the highest proportion in Group 1. The trajectories of average pain VAS, Health Assessment Questionnaire–Disability Index (HAQ-DI), tender joint count, and swollen joint count showed a trajectory similar to corresponding 3 groups were consistent in all three groups. As compared to group 1 and 2, group 3 had more pain, worse physical function and large proportion of patients at baseline [66] . At week 12, ACR20 response rates were 53%, 49% and 32% for 4mg, 2mg and placebo, respectively (p ≤ 0.001) and were 45%, 39% and 21% for 4mg, 2mg and placebo, respectively (p ≤ 0.001), at week 24. Improvement in physical component score of SF-36 was statistically significant in patients treated with baricitinib compared with placebo at week 4, which was sustained through week 24. Baricitinib also significantly improved fatigue and reduced the duration of morning joint stiffness, as early as week 4, compared with placebo; this effect was maintained throughout the study. There were also significant improvements in physical functioning and pain in the baricitinib-treated groups at week 12 and week 24, compared with placebo. A significantly greater proportion of patients treated with baricitinib also achieved a DAS28-CRP score below 2.6 and HAQ-DI of 0.3 at week 12. Significant improvements in ACR response rates, DAS28-CRP and HAQ-DI with baricitinib compared with placebo at week 12 were maintained through week 24. The trial enrolled 527 patients with moderate to severe RA who had an inadequate response to a TNF inhibitor, despite ongoing treatment with conventional DMARDs. Baricitinib was dosed at 2mg or 4mg daily for 6 months [213] [214] [65] [64] .

Phase II

Treatment with baricitinib resulted in a significantly greater difference in the ACR20 response between the combined 4mg and 8mg groups compared with placebo at 12 weeks (76% vs 41%, p < 0.001), the primary endpoint of the phase IIb JADA trial in rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Significant improvement was observed as early as 2 weeks after the start of therapy and was maintained through week 12. There were significant improvements in response rates for the ACR20, ACR50 and ACR70 criteria for all baricitinib dose groups, compared with placebo. Results from week 24 showed that in patients who continued to receive baricitinib 2mg, 4mg or 8mg, improvements in the ACR20, 50 and 70 response rates were maintained over this time. Improvements observed at week 24 were sustained through week 52 in the extension portion of the trial. In this randomised, double-blind, dose ranging trial, 301 patients with active disease, inadequately controlled on methotrexate, received once daily baricitinib 1mg, 2mg, 4mg and 8mg or placebo for 12 weeks [69] [68] . Data from an MRI substudy in patients with erosive RA (n = 154) demonstrated that significant improvements in the Total Inflammation Score and the Total Joint Damage score were achieved in the baricitinib 4mg and 8mg groups at 12 weeks, compared with the placebo group, an effect that was maintained through to 24 weeks [215] .

Positive three-month results from a phase II trial of baricitinib showed that all three once-daily, oral doses of the product were associated with rapid increases in ACR scores, in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). In this trial, patients with inadequately controlled disease by any DMARD therapy, were randomised to receive one of three dose levels of baricitinib (4, 7 or 10 mg) or placebo, once-daily. After three months, ACR scores were shown to have improved rapidly for all three doses of baricitinib, compared with baseline; all doses of the drug were approximately equally effective at this time point. In the baricitinib groups, ACR20, 50 and 70 scores at 12 weeks included response rates of up to 60%, 36% and 16%, respectively; the corresponding response rates for the placebo group were 32%, 13% and 3%, respectively. Baricitinib was also demonstrated to be as effective in patients previously treated with biologics (mostly anti-TNF therapies) as in patients previously treated with traditional DMARDs (mostly methotrexate) [74] . In final results from this trial, ACR20 responses for biologic experienced subjects was 33% for placebo and 53%, 73% and 43% for baricitinib 4mg, 7mg and 10mg, respectively. ACR50 responses for biologic experienced subjects was 11% for placebo and 33%, 45% and 29% for baricitinib 4mg, 7mg and 10mg, respectively [73] .

In a post hoc analysis of a long term efficacy study in patients with active rheumatoid arthritis who were inadequate responders to conventional synthetic disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (csDMARD) or biologic DMARDs (bDMARD), low disease activity at week 120 was observed in 27.5% and 18.4% of subjects in the csDMARD-IR and bDMARD-IR cohorts, respectively, in a non-responder imputation analysis. For subjects remaining on treatment, low disease activity was maintained at 2.3 years in 85% and 86% of subjects in the csDMARD-IR and bDMARD-IR cohorts, respectively [16] .

In a pooled analysis of phase III trials assessing baricitinib 4 mg od as monotherapy or in combination with methotrexate or other synthetic DMARDs and baricitinib 2 mg od in combination with other synthetic DMARDs in patients who were either DMARD-naïve or inadequate responders to synthetic DMARD and methotrexate, low rates of radiographic progression, assessed by the van der Heijde modified Total Sharp Score, were maintained for up to 5 years [16] .

Pooled data from the study showed that baricitinib maintained efficacy and normative physical function bDMARD-IR population up to 6.9 yrs (360 weeks). Patients in baricitinib 4 and 2 mg arms had higher LDA and (remission) REM RR vs PBO at LTE entry (week 24). PBO-treated patients achieved comparable RR to patients in the BARICITINIB 4 mg arm by week 48 (24 weeks after switch to baricitinib 4 mg) and up to week 360. Of patients enrolled to RA-BEYOND, approx. 50% in baricitinib 4 mg, 65% in 2 mg and 61% in PBO remained active at week 156; 17%, 26% and 26% at week 360, respectively. SDAI LDA RR were 47%/70% and 61%/74% for patients treated with baricitinib 4 mg and 2 mg, at week 156 (year 3)/ 360 (year 6.9), respectively; SDAI REM RR were 15%/26% and 26%/26% for baricitinib 4 mg and 2 mg, at week 156/360, respectively (Table 1). SDAI and CDAI had comparable RR. DAS-28CRP LDA RR were similar to SDAI and CDAI, while REM RR were about twice those of SDAI and CDAI. HAQ-DI ≤ 0.5 RR was 15%/26% (baricitinib 4 mg), 21%/15% (baricitinib 2mg), and 9%/3% (PBO) at 3/6.9 yrs [40] [64] [43] .

Phase III:

Results from the phase III BREEZE-AD7 trial in patients with moderate to severe atopic dermatitis showed that baricitinib in combination with topical corticosteroids significantly improved severity of the disease at week 16. The validated Investigator's Global Assessment for AD (vIGA) score of "clear or almost clear" skin (vIGA 0, 1) was reported in 23.9%, 30.6% (p ≤ 0.01) and 14.7% of patients treated with baricitinib 2mg, baricitinib 4mg and placebo, respectively. At week 16, about 43.1% (p ≤ 0.01) of baricitinib 2mg patients, 47.7% (p ≤ 0.001) of baricitinib 4mg patients and 22.9% of placebo patients achieved Eczema Area and Severity Index 75 (EASI75). A 4-point improvement in Itch NRS at Week 16 was seen in 38.1% (p ≤ 0.01), 44% (p ≤ 0.01) and 20.2% of patients treated with baricitinib 2mg, baricitinib 4mg and placebo, respectively. The trial is enrolling 300 patients [95] [94] .

Results from the phase III BREEZE-AD3 trial in moderate to severe atopic dermatitis (AD) showed 45.7% of responders and partial responders on 4-mg of baricitinib had a vIGA-AD score of 0 or 1, while 40% had a validated Investigator Global Assessment score of "clear or almost clear" skin (vIGA-AD) score of 0 or 1 after 68 weeks of continuous therapy. At the start of BREEZE-AD3 46.3% of responders and partial responders on 2-mg of baricitinib had a vIGA-AD score of 0 or 1, while 50% had a vIGA-AD score of 0 or 1 after 68 weeks of continuous therapy. Baricitinib 4-mg and 2-mg dose groups were able to maintain clear or almost clear skin response rates through the 68-week treatment period [97] [98] .

Results from the phase III BREEZE-AD5 trial in patients with moderate to severe atopic dermatitis demonstrated that 2 mg dose of baricitinib monothrapy met the primary endpoint of proportion of participants achieving Eczema Area and Severity Index (EASI75) at week 16. The EASI75 was reported in 43 (29.5%) and 19 (12.9%) of the patients treated with baricitinib 1mg and baricitinib 2mg doses respectively as compared to placebo 12 (8.2%). The validated Investigator's Global Assessment for atopic dermatitis (AD) (vIGA) score of clear or almost clear skin (vIGA 0, 1) was reported in 35 24.0% and 19 (12.9%) of the patients treated with baricitinib 1mg and baricitinib 2mg doses as compared to placebo 8 (5.4%). A 4-point improvement in Itch NRS at week 16 was seen in the 33 (25.2 %) and 21 (15.9%) of the patients treated with baricitinib 1mg and baricitinib 2mg doses as compared to placebo 7 (5.7%) respectively. Key secondary endpoints including measure of skin inflammation defined by clear or almost clear skin and at least 2 points on the validated Investigator's Global Assessment for AD (vIGA 0 or 1 at week 16) was also reported along with the reduction in the itch severity [91] [92] .

Phase II:

Results from a phase II study conducted in patients with moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis demonstrated significantly improved signs and symptoms with baricitinib in combination with a mid-potency topical corticosteroid (TCS) than TCS alone. After 16 weeks of treatment, 50% or greater reduction in overall disease severity, measured by the Eczema Area and Severity Index (EASI-50), was noted in 61% patients treated with 4mg baricitinib in combination with TCS (n=38), than 37% with TCS alone (n=49), (P < 0.05). 57% patients in 2mg baricitinib in combination with TCS (n=37) arm achieved EASI-50, however results observed were not statistically different compared to treatment with TCS alone (P=0.065). After four weeks of treatment, EASI-50 was achieved by 68% patients treated with 4mg baricitinib in combination with TCS and 62% patients with 2mg of baricitinib in combination with TCS. The patient percentage was restricted 16% in TCS alone arm (P < 0.001). A randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled study was carried out in 124 patients [103] [104] .

Results from the phase III BREEZE-AD4, study in patients with moderate to severe atopic dermatitis showed that the trial met its primary endpoint of at least a 75% or greater change from baseline in their Eczema Area and Severity Index (EASI) at week 16. The 4mg dose of baricitinib plus TCS met the primary end point in the study, with EASI75 achieved by 31.5% of patients treated with that dose compared with 17.2% of patients in the placebo plus TCS group (p ≤ 0.05). Among patients treated with 1mg and 2mg of baricitinib, 22.6% and 27.6% of patients, respectively achieved EASI75, though not statistically significant. Additionally, the 4mg dose of baricitinib plus TCS met key secondary end point of Investigator’s Global Assessment (vIGAa) of 0 (clear) or 1 (almost clear) in 21.7% patients compared with 9.7% of placebo patients (p ≤ 0.05). About 12.9% of patients in 1mg baricitinib group and 15.1% patients in the 2mg group achieved vIGAa at week 16. A 4-point improvement in Itch Numeric Rating Scale at week 16 was also reported in 38.2% of patients in the 4mg dose of baricitinib plus TCS compared with 8.2% of placebo patients (P ≤ 0.001). About 23.1% (p ≤ 0.05) and 22.9% (p ≤ 0.01) of baricitinib patients in the 1mg and 2mg group, respectively met the 4-point improvement in Itch Numeric Rating Scale at week 16. The trial is enrolling 500 patients [82] [96] .

In the phase III BREEZE-AD1 and BREEZE-AD2 trial, at week 16, among patients with atopic comorbidities, significantly more patients in the baricitinib-treated groups (4 mg, 2 mg, and 1 mg, respectively) against placebo had Investigator’s Global Assessment (IGA) rated mild or less (IGA < 2) (29.8%, 25.0%, and 18.6% vs. 9.8%) or EASI 50 (32.7%, 29.0%, and 20.3%, vs. 11.5%), p < 0.01 for all comparisons. Patients with atopic comorbidities experienced improvement in itch (> 4 points) with baricitinib 4 mg (21.6%), 2 mg (16.6%), and 1 mg (10.1%) against placebo (4.4%; p < 0.05 for all). No significant treatment related effect differences observed in patients with or without atopic comorbidities [90] [101] [102] ..

Alopecia Areata

Pooled analysis:

Updated results from the phase III BRAVE-AA1 and BRAVE-AA2 trials demonstrated the proportions with baseline Clinician-Reported Outcome Measure Eye Brows (ClinRO EB) (2,3) were 2mg (23%,77%), 4mg (26%,74%). Those with ClinRO EL (2,3) were 2mg (29%,71%); 4mg (34%,66%). Patients with SALT≥95 were 2mg 76%; 4mg 72%. Patients with a ≥4-year current episode duration were 2mg 35%; 4mg 39%. Among 2mg-treated patients, at Weeks 36/52 respectively, there were 15%/20% EB-responders, and 12%/25% EL-responders. Among EB responders, there were 43%/46% SALT≤20 co-responders. Among EL responders, 33%/35% SALT≤20 co-responders. Among 4mg-treated patients, at Weeks 36/52 respectively, there were 29%/42% EB-responders, and 34%/45% EL-responders. Among EB responders, there were 54%/50% SALT≤20 co-responders. Among EL responders, 50%/51% SALT≤20 co-responders [147] In phase III BRAVE-AA1 and BRAVE-AA2 trials, treatment with baricitinib demonstrated significant scalp, eyelash and eyebrow hair regrowth in patients with alopecia areata. Also 75% of patients who responded to baricitinib 4mg, achieved 90% scalp coverage at 52 weeks. Among patients received baricitinib 4mg, two out of five (39.0%, n = 201/515) achieved significant scalp hair regrowth with a severity of alopecia tool (SALT) score of 20 (primary outcome), or 80% or more scalp hair coverage. Three out of four patients (74.1%, n = 149/201) also achieved a SALT score of 10, or 90% hair coverage, at 52 weeks. Separately, more than two out of five patients with clinician-reported outcome (ClinRO) baseline scores of 2 (secondary outcome) (eyebrow: 44.1%, n = 154/349; eyelash: 45.3%, n = 139/307) showed full regrowth or regrowth with minimal gaps in eyebrow and eyelash hair. Among patients received baricitinib 2mg, more than one out of five (22.6%, n = 77/340) achieved significant scalp hair regrowth and two out of three (67.5%, n = 52/77) achieved 90% or more hair coverage at 52 weeks. Also more than one in five and one in four patients, respectively (eyebrow: 22.9%, n = 55/240; eyelash: 25.5%, n = 51/200), showed full regrowth or regrowth with minimal gaps in eyebrow and eyelash hair. The double-blind, placebo-controlled phase III trials enrolled 1200 patients in several countries [142] . Pooled data from the BRAVE-AA1 and BRAVE-AA2 trials in patients with alopecia areata showed that the trials achieved the primary endpoint of hair regrowth across the two dosing regimens at week 36. Across both studies, the proportion of patients self-reporting at least 80 percent scalp hair coverage was significantly greater in the 2-mg and 4-mg groups compared to placebo (p ≤ 0.001) by Week 36. In both the studies, over the nine-month treatment period, patients with severe alopecia areata treated with baricitinib 2mg and 4mg doses experienced significantly greater scalp hair regrowth compared to patients treated with placebo [149] [145] [146] [148] .

Treatment with baricitinib in a phase III BRAVE-AA2 trial in patients with alopecia areata at week-52 showed that, 86/234 baricitinib 4mg treated patients were responders. Following rerandomization, 44 patients remained on baricitinib 4mg, and 42 down-titrated to baricitinib 2mg. At Week-104, a SALT score ≤20 was maintained in 90.2% of responders who remained on baricitinib 4mg. Overall, 45.2% of patients who down-titrated to baricitinib 2mg experienced a loss of treatment benefit by Week-104. For patients who had achieved SALT score ≤20 by Week-36 and maintained it up to Week-52 (sustained response) loss of treatment benefit occurred in 39.4% (13/33) compared to 66.7% (6/9) for patients who had not. During 36 weeks of retreatment, 71.4% (5/7) recaptured SALT score ≤20 [153] . Earlier results show that baricitinib in patients with alopecia areata, achieved its primary endpoint of hair regrowth across the two dosing regimens at week 36. The results showed that the proportion of patients reaching 80% or more scalp hair coverage was achieved by 33% (p ≤ 0.001) of patients treated with baricitinib 4 mg/day, 17% (p ≤ 0.001) of patients treated with baricitinib 2 mg/day and 3% of patients in the placebo group, at week 36 [149] [148] [151] [145] .

Phase II/III:

In a phase II/III BRAVE-AA1 trial of baricitinib in patients with alopecia areata achieved its primary endpoint of hair regrowth across the two dosing regimens at week 36. The results showed that the proportion of patients reaching 80% or more scalp hair coverage was achieved by 35% (p ≤ 0.001) of patients treated with baricitinib 4 mg/day, 22% (p ≤ 0.001) of patients treated with baricitinib 2 mg/day and 5% of patients in the placebo group at week 36.Interim results from phase II/III BRAVE-AA1 trial in patients with severe or very severe alopecia areata and Severity of Alopecia Tool (SALT) score of 50 demonstrated that significantly greater proportion of patients achieved the primary endpoint of Severity of Alopecia Tool (SALT) score of 20. At week 36, SALT score of 20 defined as having 20% or less of scalp hair loss and considered as clinically meaningful improvement, was significantly greater in patients treated with baricitinib (2 mg) (33.3%, p=0.016), and (4 mg) (51.9%, p=0.001) as compared with placebo (3.6%). At week 36, the treated groups also showed no hair loss or limited hair loss on the patient-reported outcomes (PRO) for scalp hair assessment (p<0.05). Patients who were treated with 4 mg dose improved the growth of eyebrows and eyelashes, as assessed by the clinician-reported outcome and PRO measures (p<0.05 vs placebo). The double-blind, randomised trial enrolled approximately 725 patients [149] [148] [152] [146] .

COVID-2019 infections

Phase III

Updated results of the phase III ACTT-2 trial demonstrated that the combination of baricitinib and remdesivir reduced median time to recovery in hospitalised COVID-2019 patients (n = 1 033) from eight days to seven days. Patients who required high-flow oxygen or non-invasive ventilation during their hospitalisation showed that their median time to recovery was shortened from 18 days to 10 days. The patient's conditions at day 15 of the study (as measured by an eight-category ordinal scale which ranked the severity of their condition) was significantly improved with the combination therapy [134] [135] . Interim results showed that the ACTT-2 trial met the primary endpoint, where the overall patient population treated with baricitinib in combination with remdesivir improved their median time to recovery from 8 to 7 days in comparison to remdesivir, a 12.5% improvement (incidence rate ratio: 1.16; 95% CI: 1.01, 1.32; p = 0.04). The treatment with baricitinib plus remdesivir showed statistically significant reduction in the time to recovery for patients in comparison with remdesivir alone, observed in hospitalised adult patients requiring supplemental oxygen (grade 5 on the eight-point ordinal scale) and those who required high-flow oxygen/non-invasive ventilation (grade 6) at baseline. The study also met a pre-specified secondary endpoint. Using the ordinal scale that ranged from recovered to death, the odds of improvement in clinical status at Day 15 were 30% greater in patients being treated with baricitinib in combination with remdesivir compared with remdesivir (odds ratio 1.3; 95% CI: 1.0, 1.6; p = 0.04). The proportion of patients who progressed to ventilation (non-invasive or invasive) or died by day 29 was lower in baricitinib in combination with remdesivir (23%) compared to remdesivir alone (28%) [odds ratio: 0.74; 95% CI: 0.56, 0.99; p = 0.039]. A numerical decrease in death (35%) through Day 29 was observed in patients treated with baricitinib in combination with remdesivir compared to remdesivir in the overall population (5.1% vs 7.8%, respectively; hazard ratio: 0.65; 95% CI: 0.39, 1.08; p = 0.09). The reduction in mortality was more pronounced for patients receiving oxygen, as mortality at Day 29 was 60% lower and 43% lower for the OS5 and OS6 subgroups respectively [132] [133] [113] [131] [129] .

In phase III COV-BARRIER sub-study, patients with COVID-19 on mechanical ventilation or extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) who received baricitinib plus standard of care were 46% less likely to die by day 28 compared to patients who received placebo plus standard of care (nominal p-value = 0.0296; hazard ratio [HR] [95% CI] = 0.54 [0.31, 0.96]; analysis not adjusted for multiplicity). The cumulative proportion of patients who died by Day 28 was 39.2% (n/N: 20/51) in the baricitinib arm versus 58% in the placebo arm (n/N: 29/50). Similar mortality benefit was observed by day 60 (HR [96% CI] = 0.56 [0.33, 0.97]) with a cumulative proportion of death of 45.1% (n/N: 23/51) for baricitinib compared to 62.0% for placebo (n/N: 31/50). Baricitinib showed a 38% reduction in mortality in hospitalised patients, rising to 46% for those on supplemental oxygen. These findings are consistent with the reduction in mortality observed in the overall COV-BARRIER patient population. Treatment with baricitinib significantly reduced all-cause mortality by day 28 compared to placebo [39.2% vs 58.0%, respectively; hazard ratio (HR) = 0.54 (95%CI 0.31, 0.96), p=0.030, relative risk (RR) = 0.68 (95%CI 0.45, 1.02); Figure 1A]. One additional death was prevented for every six baricitinib-treated patients. Significant reduction in mortality was also observed by day 60 [45.1% vs 62.0%; HR = 0.56 (95%CI 0.33, 0.97), p=0.027, RR = 0.73 (95%CI 0.50, 1.06)]. Patients treated with baricitinib showed a numerical reduction in the duration of invasive mechanical ventilation (IMV) and duration of hospitalization versus placebo and more baricitinib treated patients recovered [218] [123] [122] [126] .

Results from a phase III COV-BARRIER demonstrated that, the trial did not met statistical significance on the primary endpoint of the difference in the proportion of participants progressing to the first occurrence of non-invasive ventilation or invasive mechanical ventilation or death by day 28. Baricitinib-treated patients were 2.7 percent less likely than those receiving standard of care (SoC) to progress to ventilation (non-invasive or mechanical) or death, a difference that was not statistically significant (odds ratio [OR]: 0.85; 95% CI; 0.67, 1.08; p=0.1800). Treatment with baricitinib in addition to SoC (which included 79% receiving corticosteroids and 19% receiving remdesivir, with some receiving both) resulted in a significant reduction (nominal p-value=0.0018) in death from any cause by 38 percent (n/N: 62/764 [8.1%] baricitinib, 100/761 [13.1%] placebo; hazard ratio [HR]: 0.57; 95% CI: 0.41, 0.78) by Day 28. A numerical reduction in mortality was observed for all baseline severity subgroups of baricitinib-treated patients and was most pronounced for patients receiving non-invasive mechanical ventilation at baseline (17.5% versus 29.4% for baricitinib plus SoC versus SoC; hazard ratio [HR]: 0.52; 95% CI: 0.33, 0.80; nominal p-value=0.0065). A reduction in mortality was also seen for the pre-specified subgroups of patients being treated with or without corticosteroids at baseline [124] [126] .
