Outcome(s)

Primary OutcomeBritish Isles Lupus Assessment Group-based Composite Lupus Assessment (BICLA) response [ Time Frame: At week 52 ] BICLA response is a composite binary endpoint whereby responders are defined by meeting all of the following criteria: - Improvement from baseline in disease activity as measured by BILAG-2004. Improvement is defined as a reduction of all baseline BILAG-2004 A to B/C/D and baseline BILAG-2004 B to C/D and no BILAG-2004 worsening in other organ systems, where worsening is defined as 1 new BILAG-2004 A or more or 2 new BILAG 2004 B or more. - No worsening from baseline in SLEDAI-2K, where worsening is defined as an increase from baseline of > 0 points in SLEDAI-2K. - No worsening from baseline in the patient's lupus disease activity, where worsening is defined as an increase 0.30 points or more on a 3-point PGA VAS.
