Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy and safety of voclosporin compared to placebo in achieving renal response following 24 weeks of therapy in adolescent and pediatric subjects with active lupus nephritis (LN).

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This is a 24 week, dose escalation study of voclosporin in addition to standard of care with mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) and steroids, consisting of 3 treatment periods: Period 1 is double-blind, placebo controlled receiving 15.8 mg twice daily, Period 2 is open-label receiving 23.7 mg twice daily, Period 3 is open-label receiving 15.8 mg twice daily.
