Tablets may be crushed to facilitate dispersion. It is not known if powder from the crushed tablets may constitute a reproductive hazard to the preparer. If tablets are crushed, use proper control measures (e.g., ventilated enclosure) or personal protective equipment (i.e., N95 respirator). Dispersed tablets are stable in water for up to 4 hours. Preparation Instructions for Alternative Administration : Oral administration of dispersed tablets in water: For patients who are unable to swallow whole tablets, 1-mg, 2-mg, or 4-mg baricitinib tablet(s), or any combination of tablets necessary to achieve the desired dose up to 4-mg may be placed in a container with approximately 10 mL (5 mL minimum) of room temperature water, dispersed by gently swirling the tablet(s) and immediately taken orally. The container should be rinsed with an additional 10 mL (5 mL minimum) of room temperature water and the entire contents swallowed by the patient ( Table 7 ). Administration via G tube: For patients with a G tube, 1-mg, 2-mg, or 4-mg baricitinib tablet(s), or any combination of tablets necessary to achieve the desired dose up to 4-mg may be placed in a container with approximately 15 mL (10 mL minimum) of room temperature water and dispersed with gentle swirling. Ensure the tablet(s) are sufficiently dispersed to allow free passage through the tip of the syringe. Withdraw entire contents from the container into an appropriate syringe and immediately administer through the gastric feeding tube. Rinse container with approximately 15 mL (10 mL minimum) of room temperature water, withdraw the contents into the syringe, and administer through the tube ( Table 7 ). Administration via NG or OG tube: For patients with a NG or OG tube, 1-mg, 2-mg, or 4-mg baricitinib tablet(s), or a combination of tablets necessary to achieve the desired dose up to 4-mg may be placed into a container with approximately 30 mL of room temperature water and dispersed with gentle swirling. Ensure the tablet(s) are sufficiently dispersed to allow free passage through the tip of the syringe. Withdraw the entire contents from the container into an appropriate syringe and immediately administer through the enteral feeding tube. To avoid clogging of small diameter tubes (smaller than 12 Fr), the syringe can be held horizontally and shaken during administration. Rinse container with a sufficient amount (minimum of 15 mL) of room temperature water, withdraw the contents into the syringe, and administer through the tube ( Table 7 ).

Adverse Reactions in Patients with COVID-19 The safety of OLUMIANT was evaluated in two randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trials of hospitalized adults with COVID-19 for up to 29 days, in which 1307 patients received at least one dose of OLUMIANT 4 mg once daily, and 1310 patients received placebo, for up to 14 days or until hospital discharge, whichever occurred first. In these studies, prophylaxis for venous thromboembolic event (VTEs) was recommended or required for all patients unless a major contraindication was noted. Overall, the safety profile observed in patients with COVID-19 treated with OLUMIANT was consistent with the safety profile in patients with rheumatoid arthritis. Overall Infections – During the first 29 days of the randomized clinical trials, infections were reported in 194 patients (14.8%) treated with OLUMIANT 4 mg and by 219 patients (16.7%) treated with placebo. The most commonly reported infection with OLUMIANT was pneumonia (3.1%). Serious Infections – During the first 29 days of the randomized clinical trials, serious infections were reported in 98 patients (7.5%) treated with OLUMIANT 4 mg and 120 patients (9.2%) treated with placebo. The most commonly reported serious infections with OLUMIANT were COVID-19 pneumonia (2.1%) and septic shock (2.1%). Opportunistic Infections – During the first 29 days of the randomized clinical trials, opportunistic infections were reported in 12 patients (0.9%) treated with OLUMIANT 4 mg and 14 patients (1.1%) treated with placebo. Tuberculosis was reported in 1 patient (0.1%) treated with OLUMIANT 4 mg and 0 patients treated with placebo. Venous Thrombosis Events - During the first 29 days of the randomized clinical trials, pulmonary embolism was reported in 20 patients (1.5%) treated with OLUMIANT 4 mg and 11 patients (0.8%) treated with placebo.

Patients were randomized to placebo (371 patients), OLUMIANT 2 mg (365 patients), or OLUMIANT 4 mg (540 patients). Of these, a total of 845 patients were treated with OLUMIANT for at least 1 year. Table 10 summarizes adverse reactions that occurred at a frequency of at least 1% in patients treated with OLUMIANT 2 mg once daily or OLUMIANT 4 mg once daily and more frequently than in patients treated with placebo during the 36-week placebo-controlled period of the alopecia areata clinical trials. Table 10: Adverse Reactions That Occurred in ≥1% of Patients Treated with OLUMIANT 2 mg or OLUMIANT 4 mg in Alopecia Areata Trials a %-study size adjusted percentages. b URTI includes: acute sinusitis, influenza, laryngitis, nasopharyngitis, oropharyngeal pain, pharyngitis, pharyngotonsillitis, rhinitis, sinusitis, tonsillitis, upper respiratory tract infection, viral upper respiratory tract infection, viral sinusitis, viral pharyngitis, respiratory tract infection viral, rhinovirus infection and adenoiditis c Acne includes: acne and dermatitis acneiform. d Hyperlipidemia includes: hyperlipidaemia, hypercholesterolaemia, hypertriglyceridaemia, dyslipidaemia, lipids increased, low density lipoprotein increased, blood cholesterol increased, and blood triglycerides increased. e UTI includes: cystitis, urinary tract infection, white blood cells urine positive, urinary tract infection bacterial, and pyelonephritis. f Liver enzyme elevations includes: transaminases increased, aspartate aminotransferase increased, alanine aminotransferase increased, hepatic enzyme increased, gamma-glutamyl transferase increased, and hepatic function abnormal. g Folliculitis was most commonly localized in the scalp region associated with hair regrowth h LRTI includes: bronchitis, bronchiolitis, lower respiratory tract infection, pneumonia, COVID-19 pneumonia, and respiratory tract infection. i Genital Candida infections includes: vulvovaginal candidiasis, vulvovaginal mycotic infection, and genital infection fungal. j Neutropenia includes: neutropenia and neutrophil count decreased. k Abdominal pain includes: abdominal pain, abdominal pain lower, abdominal pain upper, and abdominal discomfort.

Additional adverse reactions observed after Week 52: venous thromboembolic events (VTE), including deep venous thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE), and malignancy including non-melanoma skin cancer. Overall, the adverse reactions observed in patients with alopecia areata treated with OLUMIANT were consistent with the adverse reactions in patients with rheumatoid arthritis. 6.2 Postmarketing Experience The following adverse reactions have been identified during post-approval use of OLUMIANT. Because these reactions are reported voluntarily from a population of uncertain size, it is not always possible to reliably estimate their frequency or establish a causal relationship to drug exposure: Immune System Disorders : Drug hypersensitivity (events such as rash, urticaria, and angioedema have been reported) [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.6 )] .

In patients taking strong Organic Anion Transporter 3 (OAT3) inhibitors (e.g., probenecid) the recommended dosage should be reduced. ( 2.7 , 7.1 ) 7.1 Strong OAT3 Inhibitors Baricitinib exposure is increased when OLUMIANT is co-administered with strong OAT3 inhibitors (such as probenecid), hence the dosage of baricitinib should be reduced by half the recommended dose [see Dosage and Administration ( 2.2 , 2.3 ) and Clinical Pharmacology ( 12.3 )] . 7.2 Other JAK Inhibitors or Biologic DMARDs OLUMIANT has not been studied in combination with other JAK inhibitors or with biologic DMARDs [see Indications and Usage ( 1.1 , 1.2 )] .
