10.Received CYC or RTX within 12 weeks before screening or within 12 weeks before CYC or RTX is started for remission induction within 2 weeks before screening.; If subject is on AZA, MMF or MPS or MTX at the time of screening, these drugs be discontinued prior to receiving the first dose of CYC or RTX.
11.Received > 3 g cumulative intravenous GCs within 4 weeks before screening.
12.a.Received an oral daily dose of a GC of > 10 mg prednisone-equivalent for more than 6 weeks continuously prior to screening.
b.Received an oral daily dose of a GC of > 80 mg prednisone equivalent within 2 weeks before screening.
13.Received a CD20 inhibitor, anti-tumor necrosis factor treatment, abatacept, alemtuzumab, any other experimental or biological therapy, intravenous immunoglobulin or plasma exchange, antithymocyte globulin, or required renal dialysis within 12 weeks before screening.
14.Received a live vaccination within 4 weeks before screening or planned between screening and Week 2774.
