E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of LY2127399 120 mg Q4W + SoC or 120 mg Q2W + SoC compared to placebo + SoC as assessed by the proportion of patients who achieve a response as defined by the SRI-5 at Week 52 in patients with SLE.
Response is defined as follows: - Reduction of ≥5 points from baseline in SELENA-SLEDAI score; - No new BILAG A or no more than 1 new BILAG B disease activity scores; and - No worsening (defined as an increase of ≥0.3 points from baseline) in PGA. |
|
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
The secondary objectives of the study are as follows: - To evaluate the efficacy of LY2127399 120 mg Q4W + SoC or 120 mg Q2W + SoC compared to placebo + SoC from baseline to Week 52 - To evaluate the impact of LY2127399 120 mg Q4W + SoC or 120 mg Q2W + SoC compared to placebo + SoC from baseline to Week 52 on key patient-reported outcomes (PROs) - To evaluate the safety and tolerability of LY2127399 120 mg Q4W + SoC or 120 mg Q2W + SoC compared to placebo + SoC. - To characterize the time course of change in absolute B cell counts and changes in serum Ig levels to treatment with LY2127399 versus placebo over the study period. - To characterize the population PK of LY2127399 and explore PK/pharmacodynamic (PD) relationships. - To assess the potential development of anti-LY2127399 antibodies and the impact on patient safety, efficacy, and LY2127399 PK. |
