Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

SLE Responder Index (SRI) - 4 response rate

SRI-4 response is defined as: 1)≥4 point reduction from baseline in SLE disease activity index-2000 (SLEDAI-2K) score; 2) no worsening (increase of \<0.3 points from baseline) in Physician's Global Assessment (PGA); 3) no new A organ domain score or no more than 1 new B organ domain scores compared with baseline in British Isles Lupus Assessment Group (BILAG)-2004.

Time frame
Week 48

Secondary outcomes

1

SLE Responder Index (SRI) - 6 response rate

SRI-6 response is defined as: 1)≥6 point reduction from baseline in SLE disease activity index-2000 (SLEDAI-2K) score; 2) no worsening (increase of \<0.3 points from baseline) in Physician's Global Assessment (PGA); 3) no new A organ domain score or no more than 1 new B organ domain scores compared with baseline in British Isles Lupus Assessment Group (BILAG)-2004.

2

British Isles Lupus Assessment Group-based Composite Lupus Assessment (BICLA) response rate

BICLA response is defined as: 1) In BILAG-2004, reduction of all baseline A to B/C/D and baseline B to C/D, and no worsening in other organ systems (as defined by no new A organ domain score or no more than 1 new B organ domain scores); 2) No worsening from baseline in SLEDAI-2K, where worsening is defined as an increase from baseline of \>0 points in SLEDAI-2K; 3) No worsening (increase of \<0.3 points from baseline) in PGA.
