Brief summary

The objective of this study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of 48 weeks subcutaneous (SC) dosing with LY2127399 for participants who have participated in a prior LY2127399 clinical study. At the end of the 48-week treatment period, participants will participate in a 24-week follow-up period. Additional follow up after Week 72 may continue to assess B-cell recovery.
