A Phase IIB, Multi-Center, Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Study to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of Abatacept vs Placebo on a Background of Oral Glucocorticosteroids in the Treatment of Subjects With Systemic Lupus Erythematosus and the Prevention of Subsequent Lupus Flares
In Brief
A Phase 2 clinical trial evaluating Abatacept, Placebo, and 1 other intervention for Systemic Lupus Erythematosus. Completed, enrolled 183 participants across 52 sites in 15 countries.
Detailed Summary
The purpose of this clinical research study is to learn whether Abatacept can treat and prevent lupus flares; specifically, in patients with active lupus flares in at least one of three organ systems: skin (discoid lesions); inflammation of the lining of the heart (pericarditis), or inflammation of the lining of the lung (pleuritis/pleurisy); or inflammation of more than 4 joints (arthritis). All participants will receive prednisone or prednisone-equivalent treatment in combination with study medication. The safety of this treatment will also be studied.
