Official title
A Phase 3, Randomized, Double-blind, Placebo-controlled, Multicenter Study of Nipocalimab in Adults With Moderate to Severe Systemic Lupus Erythematosus
Overview
The purpose of this study is to evaluate how well nipocalimab works as compared to placebo in participants with moderate to severe Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE, a long-term disease where the immune system mistakenly attacks its own healthy tissues, causing swelling and redness in various organs).
Interventions
- Drug Nipocalimab
Nipocalimab will be administered. - Drug Placebo
Placebo will be administered. - Drug Standard of care treatment
Protocol-defined topical and systemic standard of care background treatments.
Primary outcome measures
- Percentage of Participants Achieving Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) Responder Index (SRI)-4 Composite Response at Week 52 [Time frame: Week 52]
Secondary outcome measures (9)
- Percentage of Participants Achieving SRI-4 Composite Response at Week 52 with High Baseline IFN Gene Signature (Interferon [IFN] high) [Time frame: Week 52]
- Percentage of Participants Achieving SRI-4 Composite Response at Week 52 with Sustained Reduction in Oral Glucocorticoid (GC) Dose [Time frame: Week 52]
- Percentage of Participants Who Achieve Lupus Low Disease Activity State (LLDAS) At Week 52 [Time frame: Week 52]
- Percentage of Participants with < 2 Active Joints at Week 52 in Participants with >= 2 Active Joints at Baseline [Time frame: Week 52]
- Change From Baseline in Lupus Symptoms Joint Pain Score at Week 52 [Time frame: Baseline, Week 52]
- Percentage of Participants Achieving Sustained Reduction in Oral GC Dose at Week 52 in Participants Treated with Oral GC >5 mg/Day Prednisone (or equivalent) at Baseline [Time frame: Week 52]
- Change from Baseline in Functional Assessment of Chronic Illness Therapy Fatigue (FACIT) Fatigue Score at Week 52 [Time frame: Baseline, Week 52]
- Percentage of Participants With BILAG Flare Free Status Through Week 52 [Time frame: Up to Week 52]
- Percentage of Participants Achieving SRI-4 Composite Response at Week 52 with High Baseline Autoantibodies (Autoantibody High) [Time frame: Week 52]
