Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Area under the concentration time curve (AUC)
Time Frame: From baseline to 12 weeks
AUC is defined as the area under the plot of plasma concentration of Epratuzumab against time after administration per subject. All measurements taken in the study (at administration day \[day 0, 7, 14, 21\] and the next four days of each administration day and week-4, 6, 8, 10, 12) are used to calculate AUC
Half-life (t1/2)
Time Frame: From baseline to 12 weeks
Half-life is defined as the time taken for plasma concentrations of Epratuzumab to decline by one half per subject. All measurements taken in the study (at administration day \[day 0, 7, 14, 21\] and the next four days of each administration day and week-4, 6, 8, 10, 12) are used to calculate Half-life.
Maximum plasma Concentration (Cmax)
Time Frame: From Baseline to 12 weeks
Plasma concentration of Epratuzumab for each pharmacokinetics parameter is measured at administration day (day 0, 7, 14, 21) and the next four days of each administration day and week-4, 6, 8, 10, 12.
Secondary Outcomes
- Incidence of anti-epratuzumab in plasma during administration over 12 weeks(Day 0 (initial administration day) and week 12 (end of the evaluation period))
