SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: At week14 and week 28

Population: Intension-To-Treat Set included 36 subjects (12 of each Group). At week 14, 1 subject in Placebo Group had no end of Treatment result; at week 28, 1 subject of 50 mg and 2 subjects of Placebo had no results. The efficacy outcome was based on observed cases.

Number of Participants with 50% improvement of swollen/tender joints. A total of 66/68 joints was assessed for the swollen/tender joint count. A joint that is normal (no tenderness or swelling), without signs of inflammation will be graded as 0. A joint with tenderness will be graded as 1 for tender joint count and a joint with swelling will be graded as 1 for swollen joint count. Joints suspected or known to have ischemic osteonecrosis are not to be taken into consideration. Higher scores indicate more disease activity.

Number of Participants with 50% improvement in Cutaneous Lupus Erythematosus Disease Area and Sensitivity Index (CLASI) Activity score. The CLASI is an assessment over 13 body regions (scalp, ears, nose - including malar area, rest of the face, V-area neck - frontal, post. neck \& shoulders, chest, abdomen, back and buttocks, arms, hands, legs, feet) and consists of 2 scores: total activity score and total damage score. Only the activity score was used in this study. The minimum score possible on this scale is 0 and the maximum score is 70. The higher scores mean a worse outcome.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline to week 14 and at week 28

Population: Intension-To-Treat Set included 36 subjects (12 of each Group). At week 14, 1 subject in Placebo Group had no end of Treatment result; at week 28, 1 subject of 50 mg and 2 subjects of Placebo had no results. The efficacy outcome was based on observed cases.

Percent changes in Systemic Lupus Erythematosus Disease Activity Index 2000 (SLEDAI-2K) scores from baseline SLEDAI-2K score. The SLEDAI-2K is a global index that measures SLE disease activity. It includes 24 items for the 9 organs/systems. Scores range from 0 to 105; a score of 6 is considered clinically important. The index measures disease activity within the last 10 days. Higher scores mean worse outcome. Negative percent change means reduced disease activity.
