Systemic Lupus Erythematosus |
| Purpose: |
|
The purpose of this clinical research study is to learn if abatacept treatment of patients
with active lupus nephritis who are also taking mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) and steroids as
part of this study will control the nephritis despite a protocol-defined steroid taper; the
endpoint is a "complete renal response", a composite including normalization of renal
function (or stable normal function if function was normal at study entry) plus
disappearance of protein and cells/casts from the urinary sediment. The safety of this
treatment will also be studied

| Criteria: |
|
Inclusion Criteria:
- SLE as defined by meeting at least 4 of the 11 classification criteria of the
American College of Rheumatology for the classification of Systemic Lupus
Erythematosus, either sequentially or coincident. The 4 criteria need not be present
at study entry
- Renal Biopsy within 12 months of randomization (Day 1) indicating active
proliferative lupus glomerulonephritis ISN/RPS 2003 classification Class III or IV
[excluding Class III (C), IV-S (C) and IV-g (C)] or WHO 1982 Classification Class III
or IV (excluding Class IIIc, IVd).
- Active renal disease at the screening visit, as defined by: urinary
protein/creatinine ratio ≥0.5 AND an active urinary sediment as defined by at least
one of the following 3 criteria: i) >5 RBC/hpf OR ii) >5 WBC/hpf (with no evidence
of a urinary tract infection) OR iii) cylindruria AND
- A Stable serum creatine ≤3 mg/dL
Exclusion Criteria:
- Subjects with a rise in serum creatine of ≥1 mg/dL within 1 month prior to the
screening visit
- Subjects with drug-induced SLE, as opposed to idiopathic SLE
- Subjects with severe, unstable and/or progressive CNS lupus
- Subjects with autoimmune disease other than SLE as their main diagnosis (e.g.; RA,
MS)
- Subjects who have received treatment with cyclophosphamide within 3 months of
randomization (Day 1).
- Subjects who have received treatment with rituximab < 6 months prior to the screening
