A Study of Baricitinib (LY3009104) in Healthy Chinese Participants

A Single- and Multiple-Dose Study to Evaluate the Safety, Tolerability, and Pharmacokinetics of LY3009104 in Healthy Chinese Subjects

The main purpose of this study is to investigate the safety and tolerability of the study drug known as baricitinib in healthy Chinese participants. The study will measure how the body absorbs, breaks down and gets rid of baricitinib. The study will last about 20 days, not including screening. This study is for research purposes only, and is not intended to treat any medical condition.

• Have clinical laboratory test results within normal reference range for the population or investigator site, or results with acceptable deviations that are judged to be not clinically significant by the investigator.
• Have given written informed consent approved by Lilly and the ethical review board (ERB) governing the site.

• Have a history of stomach or intestinal surgery.
• Current or recent history (<30 days prior to screening of a clinically significant bacterial, fungal, parasitic, viral (not including rhinopharyngitis), or mycobacterial infection.
