Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Percentage of Participants Who Achieve Remission of Arthritis and/or Rash Defined by the Systemic Lupus Erythematosus Disease Activity Index 2000 (SLEDAI-2K)	Participants were defined as responder as follows using SLEDAI-2K definitions of arthritis and rash. If only arthritis is present at baseline, then arthritis must be absent at Week 24 to meet the primary endpoint. If only rash is present at baseline, then rash must be absent at Week 24 to meet the primary endpoint. If both arthritis and rash are present at baseline, then the primary endpoint is met if either arthritis, or rash, or both arthritis and rash are absent at Week 24.	Week 24
Secondary	Percentage of Participants Who Achieve SLE Responder Index 4 (SRI-4) Response	SRI-4 response is defined as: 1) Reduction of =4 points from baseline in Systemic Lupus Erythematosus Disease Activity Index 2000 (SLEDAI-2K) score; 2) no new British Isles Lupus Assessment Group (BILAG) A or no more than 1 new BILAG B disease activity scores; and 3) no worsening (defined as an increase of =0.3 points [10 mm] from baseline) in Physician's Global Assessment of Disease Activity. The SRI-4 is a composite index used to assess disease activity in SLE. SLEDAI-2K assessment consists of 24 items with total score of 0 to 105, with higher scores representing increased disease activity. BILAG Index: assessing clinical signs, symptoms, or laboratory parameters related to SLE, divided into 9 organ systems. For each organ system: A=severe disease, B=moderate disease, C=mild stable disease, D=inactive, but previously active, E=inactive and never affected. PGA is a visual analog scale scored from 0 to 3 (0=none, 1=mild, 2=moderate, 3=severe).	Week 24
Secondary	Change From Baseline in SLEDAI-2K Score	SLE Disease Activity Index 2000 (SLEDAI-2K) score is a weighted, cumulative index of lupus disease activity. SLEDAI-2K is calculated from 24 individual descriptors across 9 organ systems; 0 indicates inactive disease and the maximum theoretical score is 105. Least Squares (LS) mean was determined by mixed-model repeated measures (MMRM) model with baseline of response, region, baseline disease activity (SLEDAI-2K <10, >=10), baseline anti-dsDNA status (positive, negative), treatment, time, treatment*time (type III sum of squares).	Baseline, Week 24
Secondary	Change From Baseline in Patient's Global Assessment of Disease Activity	The Patient's Global Assessment of Disease Activity is a single-item, patient reported scale developed for the assessment of the patient's overall rating of their disease activity due to SLE. The scale measures disease activity through a 5 point Likert scale ranging from 0 ("No disease activity") to 4 ("Severe disease activity") at its worst over the past 7 days. LS mean was determined by MMRM model with baseline of response, region, baseline disease activity (SLEDAI-2K <10, >=10), baseline anti-dsDNA status (positive, negative), treatment, time, treatment*time (type III sum of squares).	Baseline, Week 24
Secondary	Population Pharmacokinetics (PK): Area Under the Concentration-Time Curve of Baricitinib at Steady State (AUCt, ss)	Plasma samples for pharmacokinetic (PK) analysis were obtained in week 0, week 4, week 8, week 16 and 24. AUC takes all time points post dose into account and one value is reported.	Week (Wk) 0: 15-30 minutes (min) postdose; Wk 4: Predose, 1.5 - 4 hour (hr) postdose; Wk 8: 1 - 3 hr postdose; Wk 16: Predose
Secondary	Population Pharmacokinetics (PK): Maximum Observed Drug Concentration at Steady State (Cmax,ss)	Plasma samples for pharmacokinetic (PK) analysis were obtained in week 0, week 4, week 8, week 16 and 24. Cmax takes all time points post dose into account and one value is reported.	Week (Wk) 0: 15-30 minutes (min) postdose; Wk 4: Predose, 1.5 - 4 hour (hr) postdose; Wk 8: 1 - 3 hr postdose; Wk 16: Predose
