Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: To evaluate the efficacy of ravulizumab compared with placebo to reduce proteinuria in adult participants with LN or IgAN;Secondary Objective: Safety and tolerability of ravulizumab and additional efficacy measures;Primary end point(s): Percentage change in proteinuria ;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Baseline and Week 26

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary end point(s): Common to both disease cohorts: - Percentage change in proteinuria - Change from baseline in eGFR For LN: - Percentage of participants meeting the criteria for Complete Renal Response - Percentage of participants meeting the criteria for Partial Renal Response - Time to UPCR (Urine Protein to Creatinine Ratio) < 0.5 g/g - Percentage of participants achieving corticosteroid taper to 7.5 mg/day - Percentage of participants with Renal Flare - Percentage of participants with Extrarenal SLE (Systemic Lupus Erythematosus) Flare - Percentage of participants with Suboptimal Response through Week 50 For IgAN: - Percentage of participants meeting the criteria for Partial Remission ;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Throughout, Week 26 and/or Week 50
