Rheumatoid Arthritis – Emerging Therapies – Olumiant (Baricitinib) Launch Tracking Wave 3
Eli Lilly’s Olumiant is the second-in-class Jak inhibitor approved for rheumatoid arthritis (RA) in the United States. Its launch comes years after the launch of Pfizer’s Jak inhibitor, Xeljanz (approved for RA in 2012). With several other Jak inhibitors in late-phase development for RA (e.g., filgotinib [Galapagos/Gilead], upadacitinib [AbbVie]), physicians’ perceptions of Olumiant and the product’s market performance thus far will offer important insight to Eli Lilly and other companies hoping to penetrate this increasingly crowded space. The Rheumatoid Arthritis Emerging Therapy series includes three waves that will track the awareness, trial, and uptake of Olumiant since its U.S. launch in June 2018 for the treatment of RA. In addition, the series will examine anticipated future trends in RA treatment, particularly Olumiant’s uptake, and assess Lilly’s promotional efforts.
