MeasureTime frameDescription
Evaluation of Immunogenicity of Anifrolumab IV Infusions and SC Injections by the Measurement of Anti-drug Antibody (ADA).Pre-dose and at Days 5 and Day 29, up to 85 daysImmunogenicity was assessed in all groups by the presence or absence of ADA, which was determined in serum samples using validated bioanalytical methods. The reported results are based on the confirmatory assay (positive/negative) of the ADA. The number of participants with positive, negative and missing results are reported for each time point using the safety analysis set.

Secondary

Evaluation of Immunogenicity of Anifrolumab IV Infusions and SC Injections by the Measurement of Anti-drug Antibody (ADA).

Immunogenicity was assessed in all groups by the presence or absence of ADA, which was determined in serum samples using validated bioanalytical methods. The reported results are based on the confirmatory assay (positive/negative) of the ADA. The number of participants with positive, negative and missing results are reported for each time point using the safety analysis set.

Time frame: Pre-dose and at Days 5 and Day 29, up to 85 days

Population: The safety analysis set included all subjects who received at least 1 dose of IMP (anifrolumab or placebo) and for whom any safety post-dose data were available.
