E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
To provide continuing treatment to subjects with SLE who complete HGS1006-C1056 or HGS1006-C1057.
To evaluate the long-term safety and tolerability of belimumab in subjects with SLE. |
|
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial | |
E.2.3 | Trial contains a sub-study | No |
E.3 | Principal inclusion criteria |
1. Have completed the HGS1006-C1056 or HGS1006-C1057 Protocol through the week 72 or week 48 visits, respectively.
2. Be able to receive the 1st dose of belimumab for HGS1006-C1074 four weeks (minimum of 2 weeks, maximum of 8 weeks) after the last dose in HGS1006-C1056 or HGS1006 C1057.
3. A female subject is eligible to enter the study if she is:
• not pregnant or nursing;
• of non-childbearing potential (ie, women who had a hysterectomy, are postmenopausal which is defined as 1 year without menses, have both ovaries surgically removed or have current documented tubal ligation); or
• of childbearing potential (ie, women with functional ovaries and no documented impairment of oviductal or uterine function that would cause sterility). This category includes women with oligomenorrhoea [even severe], women who are perimenopausal or have just begun to menstruate. These women must have a negative urine pregnancy test at Day 0, and agree to 1 of the following:
- complete abstinence from intercourse from the administration of the 1st dose of study agent until 16 weeks after the last dose of study agent; or
- consistent and correct use of 1 of the following acceptable methods of birth control for 1 month prior to the start of the study agent and 16 weeks after the last dose of study agent:
• implants of levonorgestrel;
• injectable progesterone;
• any intrauterine device (IUD) with a documented failure rate of less than 1% per year;
• oral contraceptives (either combined or progesterone only);
• double barrier method: ie, condom, cervical cap or diaphragm with spermicidal agent;
• transdermal contraceptive patch;
• male partner who is sterile prior to the female subject’s entry into the study and is the sole sexual partner for the female subject.
4. Have the ability to understand the requirements of the study provide written informed consent (including consent for the use and disclosure of research-related health information) and comply with the study procedures (including required study visits).
|
|
E.4 | Principal exclusion criteria |
1. Have developed clinical evidence of significant, unstable or uncontrolled, acute or chronic diseases not due to SLE (ie, cardiovascular, pulmonary, hematologic, gastrointestinal, hepatic, renal, neurological, malignancy or infectious diseases), or experienced an adverse event (AE) in the Phase 3 study that could, in the opinion of the principal investigator, put the subject at undue risk.
2. Have developed any other medical diseases (eg, cardiopulmonary), laboratory abnormalities, or conditions (eg, poor venous access) that, in the opinion of the principal investigator, makes the subject unsuitable for the study.
