Intervention/exposure
Study type
Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Treatment: Drugs - Baricitinib
Treatment: Drugs - Placebo

Active comparator: Baricitinib - Baricitinib is an oral JAK1/JAK2-selective inhibitor. Dosage: The dose of baricitinib is 1 x 4mg tablet once daily Duration of administration: 48 weeks Mode of administration: Orally, with or without food

Placebo comparator: Placebo - One placebo tablet once daily for a duration of 48 weeks. Placebo tablets contain lactose monohydrate, microcrystalline cellulose, croscarmellose sodium and magnesium stearate.


Treatment: Drugs: Baricitinib
Participants will take one tablet of study drug per day for 48 weeks, and will be followed up for 48 weeks after study drug treatment has finished. Two-thirds of participants will receive Baricitinib.

Treatment: Drugs: Placebo
Participants will take one tablet of study drug per day for 48 weeks, and will be followed up for 48 weeks after study drug treatment has finished. One-third of participants will receive Placebo.

Outcomes
Primary outcome [1] 0 0
The primary endpoint of the study is the change from baseline of plasma C-peptide area under the curve (AUC) over 2 hours following a mixed meal.
Timepoint [1] 0 0
Measured at 48 weeks post commencement of intervention.
Secondary outcome [1] 0 0
Change from baseline in plasma C-peptide AUC over 2 hours following a mixed meal.
Timepoint [1] 0 0
Measured at weeks 12, 24, 72 and 96 post commencement of intervention.
Secondary outcome [2] 0 0
Change from baseline in mean daily insulin use over 7 consecutive days.
Timepoint [2] 0 0
Measured during the 2 weeks prior to the assessment at weeks 12, 24, 48, 72 and 96 post commencement of intervention.
Secondary outcome [3] 0 0
Change from baseline in glycosylated haemoglobin (HbA1c) levels.
Timepoint [3] 0 0
Measured at weeks 12, 24, 48, 72 and 96 post commencement of intervention.
Secondary outcome [4] 0 0
Number of participants with responder status. Responder status is defined as glycosylated haemoglobin (HbA1c) less than or equal to 6.5 percent and mean daily insulin use less than 0.5 international units per kilogram per day (IU/kg/day).
Timepoint [4] 0 0

Secondary outcome [5] 0 0
Change in estimated C-peptide (CPEST) from baseline. CPEST is calculated based on six variable routine measures: disease duration, BMI, insulin dose, HbA1c, fasting plasma C-peptide and fasting plasma glucose.
Timepoint [5] 0 0
Measured at weeks 12, 24, 48, 72 and 96 post commencement of intervention.

Secondary outcome [7] 0 0
The composite outcome assessing both the frequency, and when relevant, the severity of all adverse events.
Timepoint [7] 0 0
Adverse events will be monitored throughout the entire study duration at weeks 0, 2, 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24, 36, 48, 72 and 96.
