About this trial
This is a phase IIb, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multicenter study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of orelabrutinib in adult subjects with SLE who are receiving standard of care (SOC) therapy.

Treatment groups
Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
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.
Secondary outcomes
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.
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.
Time to 1st flare
The proportion of subjects whose average prednisone dose has been reduced by≥25% from baseline to ≤7.5 mg/day
