Scientific Background: Baricitinib acts as an inhibitor of janus kinase (JAK), blocking the subtypes JAK1 and JAK2, therby reducing cytokine release and suppressing the innate and adaptive immune systems. It was recently shown to significantly improve COVID-19 symptoms in a preliminary human trial, presumably through suppression of the cytokine release syndrome (“cytokine storm”) induced by SARS-CoV-2 infection.
