BILAG severe flare is defined as a new British Isles Lupus Assessment Group Disease Activity Index 2004 (BILAG 2004) Grade A since previous visit in any system due to individual items that are new or worse qualifying for the Grade A (Isenberg et al, 2011). Determination of items that are new or worse qualifying for the Grade A will be according to the supplementary information for the numerical scoring of the BILAG-2004 index (Yee et al, 2010).

Low lupus disease activity state (LLDAS) is defined as:

• No significant disease activity as per SLEDAI-2K and BILAG 2004 (SLEDAI-2K score ≤4 with no activity in major organ systems (renal, central nervous system (CNS), cardiopulmonary, vasculitis, fever)
• No new and/or worsening disease activity defined as no SLEDAI-2K component documented as present that was not documented present at previous visit
• PGA ≤33 mm
• Prednisone equivalent systemic dose for systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) indication ≤7.5 mg per day
• Stable standard maintenance doses of immunosuppressive drugs as allowed by protocol

A study participant is considered to be a BILAG 2004-based Composite Lupus Assessment (BICLA) responder if all of the following is fulfilled:

1. British Isles Lupus Assessment Group Disease Activity Index 2004 (BILAG 2004) improvement without worsening (A scores at Baseline improved to B, C or D; B scores improved to C or D; no new A scores and ≤1 new B.); and
2. No worsening in the Systemic Lupus Erythematosus Disease Activity Index 2000 (SLEDAI-2K) total score compared to Baseline Visit (defined as no increase in SLEDAI-2K total score); and
3. No worsening in the Physician's Global Assessment of Disease (PGA) compared to Baseline Visit defined as ≤10 mm increase on a 100 mm visual analog scale

The parent studies Baseline will be used as reference point.
