Patients treated with baricitinib 4\u2005mg were rerandomized to baricitinib 4\u2005mg (continuous dosing), baricitinib 2\u2005mg (downtitration) or placebo (treatment withdrawal, 4-mg cohort), and patients treated with baricitinib 2\u2005mg were rerandomized to baricitinib 2\u2005mg (continuous dosing), baricitinib 1\u2005mg (downtitration), or placebo (treatment withdrawal, 2-mg cohort).
