| Secondary | Change From Baseline in Overall Disease Activity With Systematic Lupus Erythematosus Disease Activity Index (SLEDAI) | SLEDAI stands for Systemic Lupus Erythematosus Disease Activity Index and was a well established global score index based on assessment of 24 items measuring a disease activity in the 10-day period prior to the assessment. SLEDAI item weights range from 1 for fever to 8 for seizures. A maximum theoretical score is 105. Total score range from 1 to 105. A flare has been defined as a SLEDAI score increase of 3 or more to a level of 8 or higher. During flares SLEDAI scores of 25 to 30 are common. | Intent-to-treat (ITT) population included all randomized patients who received at least one dose of study drug.
