Overview
Brief Summary
This is a Phase III, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multicentre, parallel-group study designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of ocrelizumab added to SOC (corticosteroid plus one of two immunosuppressant regimens) compared with placebo added to SOC in patients with WHO or ISN Class III or IV lupus nephritis.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Number of Participants Who Achieved Complete Renal Response (CRR)
Time Frame: Week 48
CRR was defined as: 1. Normal serum creatinine (and with no more than a 25 percent \[%\] increase from Baseline); 2. Improvement in urinary protein:urinary creatinine ratio to less than or equal to (≤) 0.5. PRR was defined as at least 50 percent (%) reduction in proteinuria from Baseline, without more than 25% increase of serum creatinine at Week 48, compared with Baseline. If Baseline urine protein:urine creatinine ratio was greater than (\>) 3, a urine protein:urine creatinine ratio of less than (\<) 3 needed to be achieved.
Percentage of Participants Who Achieved Overall Response
Time Frame: Week 48
Overall response rate (ORR) equals (=) CRR + PRR. CRR was defined as: 1. Normal serum creatinine (and with no more than a 25% increase from baseline) 2. Improvement in urinary protein:urinary creatinine ratio to ≤0.5. PRR was defined as at least 50 % reduction in proteinuria from Baseline, without more than 25% increase of serum creatinine at Week 48, compared with Baseline. If Baseline urine protein:urine creatinine ratio is \>3, a urine protein:urine creatinine ratio of \<3 needs to be achieved.
