Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
The proportion of subjects with adjudicated renal response at Week 24 will be defined based on the following parameters: - UPCR of =60 mL/min/1.73 m2 or no confirmed decrease from baseline in eGFR of >20%, and - Received no rescue medication for LN, and - Did not receive >10 mg/day prednisone for >=3 consecutive days or for >=7 days in total between Week 16 and Week 24.
