Eligibility criteria:
Have participated in Study JAIW (NCT03435081), and meet specific completion requirements for that study, and do not meet any of the following Exclusions:

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.
