Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn the effects of baricitinib (the study drug) in patients with Oral Lichen Planus. The main questions it aims to answer are:

* What is the efficacy of baricitinib in treating moderate to severe Oral Lichen Planus?
* Can baricitinib treatment in Oral Lichen Planus change quality of life?
* What side effects do patients with Oral Lichen Planus experience when treated with baricitinib?

Participants will be required to come in to monthly visits for up to eight months. During visits, participants will be:

* Evaluated for the extent of their disease
* Asked to fill out a questionnaire about their quality of life
* Given baricitinib for them to take at home for six months
* Evaluated for any potential side experienced while on treatment
* Asked to return 1 month after completing treatment

7. Must be willing to not receive any live vaccines during and up to 30 days after the end of treatment.
8. Vaccination status of subjects should be reviewed prior to study entry. Subjects must be encouraged to receive non-live vaccines following centers of disease control (CDC) guidelines for vaccination of those ≥18 years of age to prevent infectious disease 30 days before baseline.
9. Individuals who can potentially become pregnant must have a negative urine pregnancy test at screening and must be confirmed negative at time of enrollment (baseline visit).
10. Individuals who can potentially become pregnant must agree to use a highly effective form of birth control when engaging in sexual intercourse with a male partner during the study and for 30 days after the last dose.
11. Male subjects must be willing to use a highly effective method of contraception or practice true abstinence from sexual intercourse during the study and for 30 days after the last dose.
12. Must be able to comply with study instructions and attend all study visits.

7. Chronic liver disease with severe hepatic impairment as defined in the protocol.
8. Inadequate renal function tests defined as an estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) based on the most recent available creatinine using the chronic kidney disease epidemiology collaboration equation (CKD-EPI) creatinine 2009 equation of \<60 millimeters/minute/1.73 meters squared (m\^2) within 30 days of starting study drug.
