What is Olumiant used for?

Olumiant (baricitinib) is a Janus kinase (JAK) inhibitor. According to its FDA label (Eli Lilly prescribing information), it is used to treat:

• Moderately to severely active rheumatoid arthritis in adults when one or more TNF blockers did not work well enough.
• Severe alopecia areata (an autoimmune hair-loss condition) in adults and children 12 years and older.
• COVID-19 in hospitalized adults who need oxygen, a ventilator or ECMO.

Olumiant comes as 1 mg, 2 mg and 4 mg tablets taken once a day. The label lists 2 mg once daily for rheumatoid arthritis and as the starting dose for alopecia areata (4 mg in some cases), 4 mg for COVID-19 in the hospital, and lower doses for reduced kidney function. The label has a boxed warning: Olumiant raises the risk of serious infections, including tuberculosis, that can lead to hospital stays or death, and lymphoma and other cancers have been seen. In a study of another JAK inhibitor in people with rheumatoid arthritis aged 50 and older with a heart risk factor, there were more deaths, cancers, heart attacks and strokes, and blood clots than with TNF blockers. Your prescriber decides which medicine is right for you.
