Brief summary
This study is designed to evaluate the safety and tolerability of multiple intravenously administered doses of PD-0360324 in patients with cutaneous lupus erythematosus. Changes in disease activity will also be evaluated.
Detailed description
The trial was terminated prematurely on Oct 15, 2013 due to a business decision. The decision to terminate the trial was not based on any clinical safety or efficacy concerns.
Interventions
Subjects will receive PD-0360324 intravenously in 3 different cohorts. The cohorts will be evaluated in ascending fashion. The doses planned are 100 mg every other week for 3 months, 150 mg every other week for 3 months, and 200 mg every 4 weeks for 3 months.
Placebo is normal saline. The timing of placebo administration will depend of the dosing frequency of the cohort (either every other week for 3 months or every 4 weeks for 3 months).

Eligibility
Inclusion criteria
* Male and/or female subjects between the ages of 21 to 70 who have a clinical diagnosis of either discoid cutaneous lupus erythematosus or subacute cutaneous lupus erythematosus with or without systemic lupus erythematosus prior to screening that has been confirmed by evaluation of skin biopsy sample. * Active disease at both screening and baseline (Day 1) defined by a CLASI score of greater than or equal to 10. * Intolerance to antimalarial therapy or more than 3 months of antimalarial therapy with disease activity.
Exclusion criteria
* Use of greater than or equal to 20 mg or prednisone (or equivalent) within 3 months of Day 1. * Signs or symptoms or relevant history of a viral, bacterial, fungal, and parasitic infection, or recent history of repeated infections * Subjects with evidence of past or active tuberculosis * Pregnant, planning to get pregnant, and/or lactating females or males planning to father a child within time period of the study or subsequent exclusionary period.
