The reason for this study is to see if the study drug baricitinib given orally is safe and effective in participants with active juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA)-associated uveitis or chronic anterior antinuclear antibody-positive uveitis from 2 years to less than 18 years old.
Phase 3 trials are pivotal studies with large patient populations (hundreds to thousands) designed to prove efficacy and safety for FDA submission. A successful Phase 3 readout is typically the last major hurdle before a New Drug Application (NDA) or BLA filing.
Enrollment is complete. The trial is in its follow-up or data collection phase — a readout may occur on or near the primary completion date.
Eli Lilly and Company (LLY) is the sponsoring company for this trial. BiotechSign currently grades this company C (54/100) based on composite catalyst signals across its full pipeline. This trial is one data point in that overall catalyst picture.
