E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
To evaluate the efficacy of ustekinumab as measured by a reduction in disease activity for subjects with active SLE |
|
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
To evaluate:
• The safety and tolerability of ustekinumab in subjects with SLE.
• The effect of ustekinumab administration on health-related quality of life in subjects with SLE.

E.2.3 | Trial contains a sub-study | Yes |
E.2.3.1 | Full title, date and version of each sub-study and their related objectives |
Protocol A0 - dated 19 December 2014 - Subjects who provide consent will be enrolled in the cutaneous lupus substudy evaluating the histology of cutaneous biopsies and/or skin photographs. Subjects participating in the cutaneous lupus substudy are not required to undergo biopsies, and may allow only photographs to document changes in an identified lesion or area of active disease |
|
E.3 | Principal inclusion criteria |
- Subjects must have documented medical history to meet SLICC classification criteria for SLE for a minimum of 3 months prior to first dose
- At least 1 welldocumented (subject file, referring physician letter, or laboratory result), unequivocally positive, documented test for autoantibodies in medical history including either of the following: ANA, and/or antidsDNA antibodies, and/or antiSmith
antibodies
- At least 1 unequivocally positive autoantibody test including ANA and/or antidsDNA
antibodies and/or antiSmith antibodies detected during screening
- At least 1 BILAG A and/or 2 BILAG B domain scores observed during screening prior to first administration of study agent Demonstrate active disease based on SLEDAI2K score greater than or
equal to (>=) 6 observed during screening and assessed approximately 2 to 6 weeks prior to randomization. Must also have SLEDAI2K score >= 4 for clinical features (ie, SLEDAI excluding laboratory results) at Week 0 prior to the first administration of study agent |
|
E.4 | Principal exclusion criteria |
- Have other inflammatory diseases that might confound the evaluations of efficacy, including but not limited to rheumatoid arthritis (RA), psoriatic arthritis (PsA), RA/lupus overlap, psoriasis or active Lyme disease
- Are pregnant, nursing, or planning a pregnancy or fathering a child while enrolled in the study or within 4 months after receiving the last administration of study agent
- Have received systemic or topical cream/ointment preparations of cyclosporine A or other systemic immunomodulatory agents other than those described in inclusion criteria within the past 3 months prior to first administration of study agent
- Have received a single B cell targeting agent within 3 months prior to first study agent administrationÍž or received more than 1 previous B cell targeting therapy including belimumab or epratuzamab within 6 months prior to first administration of the study agentÍž or received B cell depleting therapy (eg, rituximab) within 12 months prior to first administration of the study agent or have evidence of continued Bcell depletion following such therapy
- Have ever received ustekinumab
- Participant has a history of malignancy within 5 years before screening (exceptions are squamous and basal cell carcinomas of the skin that has been treated with no evidence of recurrence for at least 3 months before the first study agent administration and carcinoma in situ of the cervix that
has been surgically cured) |
