Study design details

Main study objective

To monitor the incidence rate and profile of the following aggregate outcomes serious infections and opportunistic infections, MACE, malignancies, and VTE among patients with long-term exposure to baricitinib compared to patients with long-term exposure to other medications for moderate to severe RA. Also to monitor the occurrence of more rare individual outcomes.

Outcomes

Primary outcomes: -serious infections (including herpes zoster) and opportunistic infections (including TB, Candida infections, and PML).-MACE-Malignancies (including lymphoma and typically virus-induced malignancies such as cervical and many oropharyngeal cancers)-venous thromboembolism
Secondary outcomes: -rhabdomyolysis-arganulocytosis-PML-gastrointestinal perforations-drug induced liver injury

Data analysis plan

Analysis of BSRBR, RABBIT, and ARTIS data is under the control of each individual registry and will not (with the exception of ARTIS) include input from Lilly. In general, each registry will provide incidence rates and outcomes and a final comparative report.
