• Have significant uncontrolled cerebro-cardiovascular (e.g., myocardial infarction [MI], unstable angina, unstable arterial hypertension, severe heart failure, or cerebrovascular accident), respiratory, hepatic, renal, gastrointestinal, endocrine, hematologic, neuropsychiatric disorders, or abnormal laboratory values that developed during a previous baricitinib study that, in the opinion of the investigator, pose an unacceptable risk to the participant if investigational product continues to be administered.
• Have a known hypersensitivity to baricitinib or any component of this investigational product.
• Had investigational product permanently discontinued at any time during a previous baricitinib study, except for participants who had investigational product discontinued during originating study because of rescue with an oral systemic AD therapy (e.g., corticosteroid, cyclosporine, methotrexate).
• Had temporary investigational product interruption continue at the final study visit of a previous baricitinib study and, in the opinion of the investigator, this poses an unacceptable risk for the participant's participation in the study.
