Brief summary

The purpose of this SLE study is to evaluate the long-term safety and efficacy of LY2127399 in eligible SLE participants who have completed the core studies (NCT01196091) (NCT01205438).

Interventions

120 mg LY2127399 administered via subcutaneous (SC) injection for 216 weeks Participants randomized to active treatment in the core studies will remain on the same active dose. In order to ensure that the original randomization arm from the preceding core studies is not unblinded, the first dose in BCDX will be blinded, with all participants receiving 2 injections of blinded study drug.

DRUGPlacebo

Placebo administered via SC injection at first dose to maintain blinding of previous study treatment.
