FDA Approves Lilly's Olumiant (Baricitinib) for Pediatric Patients 12 Years of Age and Older with Severe Alopecia Areata
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved Eli Lilly’s once-daily Olumiant for patients aged 12 and older with severe alopecia areata.
The approval expands Olumiant’s U.S. label, which already covers adults with moderately to severely active rheumatoid arthritis and severe alopecia areata.
The decision was based on 36-week data from the adolescent group in BRAVE-AA-PEDS, a Phase 3 study of pediatric patients with severe alopecia areata.
Eli Lilly reported that the safety profile in patients aged 12 and older was consistent with that observed in adults with severe alopecia areata.
Eli Lilly received extended approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Regulatory Agency (FDA) for Olumiant, a medicine intended for paediatric patients 12 years of age or older suffering from severe alopecia.
