E.2 Objective of the trial

E.2.1

Main objective of the trial

The main objective of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of elsubrutinib, upadacitinib and ABBV-599 (elsubrutinib/upadacitinib) combination vs placebo for the treatment of signs and symptoms of Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) at 24 and 48 weeks in subjects with moderately to severely active SLE and to define optimal dose(s) for further development.

E.2.2

Secondary objectives of the trial

Not applicable.

E.2.3

Trial contains a sub-study

E.3

Principal inclusion criteria

• Adult male or female, 18 to 65 years of age, inclusive, at Screening
•Clinical diagnosis of SLE at least 24 weeks prior to Screening, meeting at least 4 of the 11 ACR criteria OR meeting at least 4 of the SLICC criteria including at least 1 clinical and 1 immunologic criterion.
• At Screening, must have at least one of the following:
∙ ANA+ (titer ≥ 1:80)
∙ anti-dsDNA+
∙ anti-Smith+
• SLEDAI-2K ≥ 6 despite background therapy as reported and
independently adjudicated (clinical score ≥ 4, excluding lupus headache and/or organic brain syndrome) at Screening:
∙ If 4 points of the required entry points are for arthritis there must also be a minimum of 3 tender and 3 swollen joints
∙ If 4 points of the required clinical score are for proteinuria attributable to active lupus nephritis, it must be > 0.5 g /day equivalent (0.5 mg/mg).
∙ If subject has rash and PI considers it to be attributable to SLE,
subject must consent to skin photograph collection for adjudication.
∙ Score must be re-confirmed at the Baseline Visit
•The subject must be on background treatment throughout the study.
The background treatment must be stable for 30 days prior to Baseline and throughout the study with:
· Antimalarial(s), prednisone (or prednisone-equivalent) (= 20 mg), azathioprine (= 150 mg), mycophenolate (= 2 g), leflunomide (= 20 mg), cyclosporine, tacrolimus, and/or MTX (= 20 mg).
· The combination of background treatment with antimalarial(s) and/or prednisone (or equivalent) is permitted.
· And a single, but not multiple, additional immunosuppressant from the list above, is permitted.

E.4

Principal exclusion criteria

• Women of childbearing potential must not have a positive serum pregnancy test at the screening visit and must have a negative urine pregnancy test at baseline prior to the first dose of study drug. Note: Subjects with borderline serum pregnancy tests at Screening must have a serum pregnancy test ≥ 3 days later to document continued lack of positive result.
• Must not be using IV or IM corticosteroids greater than or equal to a 40 mg prednisone-equivalent bolus within 30 days weeks of planned randomization
• Must not have active lupus nephritis (progressive Class IV or >1g/day equivalent [1 mg/mg]) or have undergone induction therapy within the last 6 months.
• Must not have active neuropsychiatric SLE as defined by the CNS portion of SLEDAI-2K (excluding lupus headache).
Subjects must be naïve or have discontinued, if not currently benefiting from, the following prior to the first dose of study drug per the applicable washout period below or should be at least 5 times the mean terminal elimination half-life of a drug:
∙ ≥6 months for Plasmapheresis
∙ ≥3 months for Benlysta
∙ ≥1 year for rituximab OR ≥ 6 months if B cells have returned to ≥ 50 B cells per microliter
∙ ≥3 months for cyclophosphamide
∙ ≥4 weeks for abatacept, any anti-TNF therapy, and all other biologics
• Must not have positive titers for all 3 antiphospholipid antibodies known to be associated with venous thrombotic events at Screening: lupus anticoagulant, anti-beta 2 glycoprotein 1, and anticardiolipin
antibody.
• Must not have confirmed COVID-19: the Baseline visit must be at least 14 days from onset of signs/symptoms or positive SARS-CoV-2 test; symptomatic subjects must have recovered, defined as resolution of fever without use of antipyretics and improvement in symptoms.
• Must not have suspected COVID-19: subjects with signs/symptoms suggestive of COVID-19, known exposure, or high-risk behavior should undergo molecular (e.g., PCR) testing to rule out SARS-CoV-2 infection or must be asymptomatic for 14 days from a potential exposure.

E.5 End points

E.5.1

Primary end point(s)

Achievement of SLE Responder Index (SRI)-4 and steroid dose ≤ 10 mg prednisone equivalent QD. SLE Responder Index (SRI)-4 is defined as ≥ 4-point reduction in Systemic Lupus Erythematosus Disease Activity Index 2000 (SLEDAI-2K) score without worsening of the overall condition (no worsening in Physician's Global Assessment [PhGA], < 0.3 point increase) or the development of significant disease activity in new organsystems (no new British Isles Lupus Assessment Group ([BILAG]) A or >1 new BILAG B).

E.5.1.1

Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point

Week 24.

E.5.2

Secondary end point(s)
