Summary

This study looks at whether baricitinib, a drug for rheumatoid arthritis, can improve blood clotting and cholesterol levels better than standard treatments. About 100 adults with active rheumatoid arthritis will take baricitinib or continue their usual therapy for 3 months. Researchers will measure changes in clotting markers and cholesterol to see if baricitinib offers extra heart-related benefits.
