The purpose of this study is to investigate how a new experimental medication called anifrolumab is distributed in the body when given as subcutaneous (under the skin) injections to subjects with the autoimmune disease called Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE), also known as Lupus. The study will also explore if anifrolumab may improve Lupus skin symptoms.

A Multicenter, Randomized, Double-blind, Placebo-controlled, Phase 2 Study Characterizing the Pharmacokinetics, Pharmacodynamics, and Safety of Anifrolumab following subcutaneous administration in Adult Systemic Lupus Erythematosus Subjects with Type I Interferon test high result and active skin manifestations

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: To characterize the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of anifrolumab.; Secondary Objective: 1. To characterize the safety and tolerability anifrolumab 2. To characterize the immunogenicity of anifrolumab ; Primary end point(s): • Anifrolumab concentration and PK parameters, e.g., maximum concentration (Cmax) after first IP dose and trough concentration (Ctrough) after subsequent dosing. Additional PK parameters may be determined where appropriate. • 21-gene type I IFN signature score and neutralization ratio (relative to baseline) ;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: 12 Weeks

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary end point(s): Safety and tolerability variables including: • Adverse events (AEs) and serious adverse events (SAEs) • Adverse events of special interest (AESIs) including herpes zoster, influenza, opportunistic infections, tuberculosis (TB), malignancies, non-SLE related vasculitis, anaphylaxis, and major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) • Laboratory variables • Physical examinations • Vital signs • ECG Immunogenicity as assessed by measurement of anti-drug antibodies (ADA). ;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: 52 weeks
