Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: Key Inclusion Criteria Subjects with evidence of active nephritis, defined as follows: Kidney biopsy result within 2 years prior to screening indicating Class III, IV S, IV-G (alone or in combination with Class V), or Class V LN with a doubling or greater increase of urine protein creatinine ratio (UPCR) within the last 6 months to a minimum of >=1.5 mg/mg for Class III/IV or to a minimum of >=2 mg/mg for Class V at screening. Biopsy results over 6 months prior to screening must be reviewed with a medical monitor to confirm eligibility. OR Kidney biopsy result within 6 months prior to screening indicating Class III, IV S, or IV-G (alone or in combination with Class V) LN with a UPCR of >=1.5 mg/mg at screening. OR Kidney biopsy result within 6 months prior to screening indicating Class V LN and a UPCR of >=2 mg/mg at screening. A biopsy can be performed during screening, if not available. The above criteria must be fulfilled at baseline.
