Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Proportion of LLDAS in week 24week 24

Lupus low disease activity status (LLDAS) was defined as SLEDAI-2K ≤4, no activity in any major organ, no new disease activity feature, PGA ≤1, prednisone ≤7.5 mg/day, and allowance for maintenance of IS and antimalarials

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Improvement in SLEDAI-2Kweek 24 and 52

Proportion of patients with SLEDAI-2K scores improvement ≥4 compared with baseline

Number of participants with Adverse Eventsup to week 52

An AE is any untoward medical occurrence in a patient or clinical investigation subject administered a pharmaceutical product and which does not necessarily have a causal relationship with this treatment. A SAE is any untoward medical occurrence that at any dose resulting in death, is life threatening, requires inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization, results in persistent or significant disability/incapacity, is a congenital anomaly/birth defect, is medically significant and which the investigator regards as serious based on appropriate medical judgment.
