简要总结
The data collected during this study are confidential and proprietary to the Sponsor or designee. Any publications or abstracts arising from this study must adhere to the publication requirements set forth in the Clinical Trial Agreement (CTAg) governing [study site or investigator] participation in the study. These requirements include, but are not limited to, submitting proposed publications to the Sponsor or designee at the earliest practicable time prior to submission or presentation and otherwise within the time period set forth in the CTAg. Scientific publications (such as abstracts, congress podium presentations and posters, and manuscripts) of the study results will be a collaborative effort between the study Sponsor and the external authors. No public presentation or publication of any interim results may be made by any principal investigator, sub-investigator, or any other member of the study staff without the prior written consent of the Sponsor. Authorship of publications at BMS is aligned with the criteria of the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors (ICMJE, www.icmje.org). Authorship selection is based upon significant contributions to the study (ie, ICMJE criterion #1). Authors must meet all 4 ICMJE criteria for authorship:
- Substantial intellectual contribution to the conception or design of the work; or the acquisition of data (ie, evaluable participants with quality data), analysis, or interpretation of data for the work (eg, problem solving, advice, evaluation, insights and conclusion); AND
- Drafting the work or revising it critically for important intellectual content; AND
- Final approval of the version to be published; AND
- Agreement to be accountable for all aspects of the work in ensuring that questions related to the accuracy or integrity of any part of the work are appropriately investigated and resolved.
Those who make the most significant contributions, as defined above, will be considered by BMS for authorship of the primary publication. Sub-investigators will generally not be considered for authorship in the primary publication. Geographic representation will also be considered. Authors will be listed by order of significant contributions (highest to lowest), with the exception of the last author. Authors in first and last position have provided the most significant contributions to the work. For secondary analyses and related publications, author list and author order may vary from primary to reflect additional contributions.

- •i) Changes to CS doses are allowed as described in Section 7.7.2.
- •If CS are being used (with or without a non-CS SLE treatment), they must be in use for at least 4 weeks and at a stable dose for at least 2 weeks prior to screening.
- •Background non-CS SLE treatments must be in use for at least 8 weeks and at a stable dose for at least 4 weeks prior to screening.
- •Required discontinuation periods for other immunomodulatory drugs or biologic drugs are provided in APPENDIX 18 of the protocol.
- •If a drug is not specifically listed, consult the medical monitor for guidance.
- •Usual discontinuation periods are 4 weeks or 5 half-lives whichever is longer.
- •Inclusion Criteria for LTE 1) Signed Written Informed Consent i.
- •Participants must have signed and dated an Institutional Review Board (IRB)/Independent Ethics Committee (IEC)-approved written ICF in accordance with regulatory, local, and institutional guidelines.
- •This must be obtained before the performance of any protocol-related procedures that are not part of normal patient care.
- •Participants must be willing and able to complete all study-specific procedures and visits.
- •Type of Participant and Target Disease Characteristics i.
- •Completion of study treatment through Week
- •In the opinion of the investigator, the participant may benefit from continuation in the optional LTE period.
- •• Note: If any participant had been given prohibited medications during the placebo-controlled treatment period and was continued in the study, participation of these subjects in the LTE must be discussed with the Medical Monitor.
- •Reproductive Status i.
- •WOCBP must have a negative urine pregnancy test at the initial visit (minimum sensitivity 25 IU/L or equivalent units of human chorionic gonadoptropin) 1) If a urine test cannot be confirmed as negative (ie, an ambiguous result), a serum pregnancy test is required.
- •WOCBP must agree to continue using highly effective (with a failure rate of < 1% per year) method(s) of contraception, preferably with low user dependency as described in APPENDIX 4, during the intervention period and for at least 21 days after the last dose of study intervention, and agrees not to donate eggs (ova, oocytes) for the purpose of reproduction for the same time period 4) Male participants will be required to always use a latex or other synthetic condom during any sexual activity (eg, vaginal, anal, oral) with WOCBP, even if the participants have undergone a successful vasectomy or if their partner is already pregnant or breastfeeding.
