Response based on the SRI-4 is defined by: 1) ≥ 4-point reduction in the SLEDAI-2K global score; 2) no new severe disease activity (BILAG A organ score) or more than 1 new moderate organ score (BILAG B); and 3) no deterioration from baseline in the Physician's Global Assessment (PGA) by ≥ 30 millimeters. The SRI-4 response in participants with moderate to severe SLE is associated with broad improvements in clinical and participant-reported outcomes. SRI-5 and SRI-6 are composite indices of SLE disease improvement that consist of scores derived from the SLEDAI-2K and the BILAG 2004 Index. The SRI-5 and SRI-6 are computed with a minimal five-point or six-point improvement in SLEDAI-2K being required, respectively.
Phase 2: Number of Participants With a Sustained Reduction From Baseline of Oral Corticosteroid (CS) (≤ 7.5 mg/Day and < Day 0 Dose) Between Day 150 and Day 210Day 150 to Day 210Effect of BOS161721 compared with placebo for response on clinical indicators of SLE activity was assessed in adult participants with moderate to severe SLE on limited background standard of care treatment.
Phase 1b: Mean Change From Baseline in Leukocyte ImmunophenotypeBaseline (Day 0); Day 180The optimal dose of BOS161721 was selected based on safety, tolerability, PK and PD data in participants with moderate to severe SLE.
Phase 2: Number of Participants With Physician's Global Assessment (PGA) WorseningDays 30, 60, 90, 120, 150, 180, and 210The PGA is used to assess Investigator's general impression on the patient's overall status of SLE disease activity via visual analogue scale (100 mm) with 0 being very good, asymptomatic and no limitation of normal activities with 100 mm being most severe possible disease ever seen in all SLE patients. PGA worsening is defined as an increase of ≥ 30 mm from baseline.
Phase 2: Number of Participants With a BILAG-based Composite Lupus Assessment (BICLA) Response at Day 210Day 210The BICLA is a responder index developed to measure response to therapy, and it includes scores from the BILAG, SLEDAI-2K, and Physician's Global Assessment (PGA). BICLA response is defined as: 1) at least 1 gradation of improvement in baseline BILAG 2004 scores in all body systems with moderate disease activity at entry (eg, all B \[moderate disease\] scores falling to C \[mild\], or D \[no activity\]); 2) no new BILAG A or more than 1 new BILAG B scores; 3) no worsening of total SLEDAI-2K score from baseline; 4) ≤ 10% deterioration in PGA score; and 5) no treatment failure. The PGA is measured on a 0 to 100 mm scale with score 0 to be No Disease Activity and score 100 to be the most Severe Disease Activity.
Phase 2: Number of Participants With a Cutaneous Lupus Erythematosus Area and Severity Index (CLASI) Response at Day 210Day 210The CLASI is a comprehensive tool for assessment of disease activity (CLASI-A) in cutaneous lupus, shown to be valid, reliable, and sensitive to changes in disease activity. Response is defined as at least 50% improvement from baseline in A scores. This assessment was applied to all participants as all were required to have cutaneous disease activity. The total score represents the sum of the individual scores and ranges from 0 to 70. Higher scores are awarded for more severe manifestations.
Phase 2: Number of Participants With Medication FailuresDays 30, 60, 90, 120, 150, 180, and 210Effect of BOS161721 compared with placebo for response on clinical indicators of SLE activity was assessed in adult participants with moderate to severe SLE on limited background standard of care treatment.
Phase 2: Mean Change From Baseline in CLASI at Day 210Baseline, Day 210The CLASI is a comprehensive tool for the assessment of disease activity (CLASI-A) and damage (CLASI-B) in cutaneous lupus, shown to be valid, reliable, and sensitive to changes in disease activity. Response is defined as 50% improvement from baseline in A or B scores. This assessment was applied to all participants as all were required to have cutaneous disease activity. The total score represents the sum of the individual scores and ranges from 0 to 70 (CLASI-A) and 0 to 58 (CLASI-B). Higher scores are awarded for more severe manifestations. Change from baseline was calculated as the post-baseline value minus the baseline value.
Phase 2: Mean Change From Baseline in PGABaseline, Day 210The PGA is used to assess Investigator's general impression on the patient's overall status of SLE disease activity via visual analogue scale (100 mm) with 0 being very good, asymptomatic and no limitation of normal activities with 100 mm being most severe possible disease ever seen in all SLE patients.
Phase 2: Mean Change From Baseline in the Total Number of Swollen Joints, Tender Joints, and Active Joints (Swelling and Tenderness in the Same Joint) in the American College of Rheumatology-28 (ACR-28) Joint CountBaseline, Day 210The ACR-28 joint count evaluated the number of tender and swollen joints in the shoulder, elbow, wrist, hand, and knee joints. Joints of the feet were excluded. Change from baseline was calculated as the post-baseline value minus the baseline value.
Phase 2: Mean Change From Baseline in SLEDAI-2K at Day 210Baseline, Day 210The SLEDAI-2K is a validated instrument that measures disease activity in SLE participants at the time of the visit and in the previous 30 days. It is a global index and includes 24 clinical and laboratory variables that are weighted by the type of manifestation, but not by severity. The total score falls between 0 and 105, with higher scores representing increased disease activity. A SLEDAI -2K of 6 or more generally represents moderately to severely active disease. Change from baseline was calculated as the post-baseline value minus the baseline value.
Phase 2: Mean Change From Baseline in Systemic Lupus International Collaborating Clinics/American College of Rheumatology (SLICC/ACR) Damage IndexBaseline; Day 180The SLICC/ACR damage index is a validated instrument to assess damage, defined as irreversible impairment, continuously persistent for 6 months (ascertained by clinical assessment), occurring since the onset of lupus, and it is based on a weighted scoring system. This index records damage occurring in participants with SLE regardless of cause, with demonstrated content, face, criterion, and discriminant validity. A score of 0=no damage. Total maximum score is 47 and increasing score indicates increasing disease severity.
Phase 2: Time to Medication FailureUp to Day 270Participants who received prohibited medications or undergo unallowable corticosteroid (CS) usage were considered medication failures.
Mean Percent Change in CS Administration From the Baseline Day 0 Dose Through Day 210 in Participants Receiving ≥ 7.5 mg/Day Prednisone Equivalent at Day 0Baseline; Day 210The percent reduction in CS administration from Day 0 through Day 210 was determined based on the average daily CS usage.
Phase 2: Duration of Longest SRI-4 ResponseUp to Day 270The SRI-4 is a composite index of SLE disease improvement that consists of scores derived from SLEDAI-2K, BILAG 2004 Index and PGA. Response based on the SRI-4 is defined by: 1) ≥ 4-point reduction in the SLEDAI-2K total score; 2) no new severe disease activity (BILAG A organ score) or more than 1 new moderate organ score (BILAG B) compare with baseline; and 3) no deterioration from baseline in the PGA by ≥ 30 millimeters. The total SLEDAI-2K score falls between 0 and 105, with higher scores representing increased disease activity. The PGA is used to assess Investigator's general impression on the patient's overall status of SLE disease activity via visual analogue scale (100 mm) with 0 being very good, asymptomatic and no limitation of normal activities with 100 mm being most severe possible disease ever seen in all SLE patients. The SRI-4 response in participants with moderate to severe SLE is associated with broad improvements in clinical and participant-reported outcomes.
Phase 2: Time to First BILAG Flare (≥ 1 New or Recurrent BILAG A or > 1 New or Recurrent BILAG B) Relative to Baseline Through Day 210Baseline; Day 210The BILAG-2004 index is an organ-specific 97-question assessment based on the principle of the doctor's intent to treat. Only clinical features attributable to SLE disease activity were recorded and based on the participant's condition in the last 4 weeks compared with the previous 4 weeks. It was scored as not present (0), improved (1), the same (2), worse (3), or new (4). Disease activity was graded separately for 9 body systems to 5 different grades (A to E) as follows: A is very active disease, B is moderate activity, C is mild stable disease, D is inactive now but previously active, and E indicates the organ was never involved. A shift from BILAG-2004 Grade A or B to a lower grade indicates a clinically relevant change in disease activity as the BILAG-2004 grades mirror the decision points for treatment interventions.
Phase 2: Number of Participants With AEsUp to Day 270The safety and tolerability of repeat doses of BOS161721 (120 mg) administered SC were assessed in adult participants with moderate to severe SLE on limited background standard of care treatment.
Phase 2: Number of Participants With New or Recurrent BILAG Flares (≥ 1 Qualifying BILAG A or > 1 Qualifying BILAG B) Through Day 210Days 30, 60, 90, 120, 150, 180, 210The BILAG-2004 index is an organ-specific 97-question assessment based on the principle of the doctor's intent to treat. Only clinical features attributable to SLE disease activity were recorded and based on the participant's condition in the last 4 weeks compared with the previous 4 weeks. It was scored as not present (0), improved (1), the same (2), worse (3), or new (4). Disease activity was graded separately for 9 body systems to 5 different grades (A to E) as follows: A is very active disease, B is moderate activity, C is mild stable disease, D is inactive now but previously active, and E indicates the organ was never involved. A shift from BILAG-2004 Grade A or B to a lower grade indicates a clinically relevant change in disease activity as the BILAG-2004 grades mirror the decision points for treatment interventions.
Phase 1b: Mean Change From Baseline in Complement 3 (C3) and Complement (C4) LevelsBaseline (Day 0); Day 210The optimal dose of BOS161721 was selected based on safety, tolerability, PK and PD data in participants with moderate to severe SLE.

Phase 2: Number of Participants With an SLE Responder Index 4 (SRI-4) Response at Day 210

The SRI-4 is a composite index of SLE disease improvement that consists of scores derived from the SLE Disease Activity Index 2000 (SLEDAI-2K), the British Isles Lupus Assessment Group (BILAG) 2004 Index and the Physician's Global Assessment (PGA). Response based on the SRI-4 is defined by: 1) ≥ 4-point reduction in the SLEDAI-2K total score; 2) no new severe disease activity (BILAG A organ score) or more than 1 new moderate organ score (BILAG B) compared with baseline; and 3) no deterioration from baseline in the PGA by ≥ 30 millimeters. The SLEDAI-2K total score falls between 0 and 105, with higher scores representing increased disease activity.The SRI-4 response in participants with moderate to severe SLE is associated with broad improvements in clinical and participant-reported outcomes.

Time frame: Day 210

Population: Full Analysis Set: Defined as all participants who received at least 1 dose (partial or complete) of study treatment and had at least 1 evaluable post-baseline efficacy evaluation.

Phase 2: Duration of Longest SRI-4 Response

The SRI-4 is a composite index of SLE disease improvement that consists of scores derived from SLEDAI-2K, BILAG 2004 Index and PGA. Response based on the SRI-4 is defined by: 1) ≥ 4-point reduction in the SLEDAI-2K total score; 2) no new severe disease activity (BILAG A organ score) or more than 1 new moderate organ score (BILAG B) compare with baseline; and 3) no deterioration from baseline in the PGA by ≥ 30 millimeters. The total SLEDAI-2K score falls between 0 and 105, with higher scores representing increased disease activity. The PGA is used to assess Investigator's general impression on the patient's overall status of SLE disease activity via visual analogue scale (100 mm) with 0 being very good, asymptomatic and no limitation of normal activities with 100 mm being most severe possible disease ever seen in all SLE patients. The SRI-4 response in participants with moderate to severe SLE is associated with broad improvements in clinical and participant-reported outcomes.

Phase 2: Mean Change From Baseline in CLASI at Day 210

The CLASI is a comprehensive tool for the assessment of disease activity (CLASI-A) and damage (CLASI-B) in cutaneous lupus, shown to be valid, reliable, and sensitive to changes in disease activity. Response is defined as 50% improvement from baseline in A or B scores. This assessment was applied to all participants as all were required to have cutaneous disease activity. The total score represents the sum of the individual scores and ranges from 0 to 70 (CLASI-A) and 0 to 58 (CLASI-B). Higher scores are awarded for more severe manifestations. Change from baseline was calculated as the post-baseline value minus the baseline value.

The total score represents the sum of the individual scores and ranges from 0 to 70. Higher scores are awarded for more severe manifestations.

Time frame: Day 210

Phase 2: Number of Participants With an SRI-4, SRI-5, and SRI-6 Response at Each Visit

The SRI-4 is a composite index of SLE disease improvement that consists of scores derived from the SLE Disease Activity Index 2000 (SLEDAI-2K) and the British Isles Lupus Assessment Group (BILAG) 2004 Index. Response based on the SRI-4 is defined by: 1) ≥ 4-point reduction in the SLEDAI-2K global score; 2) no new severe disease activity (BILAG A organ score) or more than 1 new moderate organ score (BILAG B); and 3) no deterioration from baseline in the Physician's Global Assessment (PGA) by ≥ 30 millimeters. The SRI-4 response in participants with moderate to severe SLE is associated with broad improvements in clinical and participant-reported outcomes. SRI-5 and SRI-6 are composite indices of SLE disease improvement that consist of scores derived from the SLEDAI-2K and the BILAG 2004 Index. The SRI-5 and SRI-6 are computed with a minimal five-point or six-point improvement in SLEDAI-2K being required, respectively.

Phase 2: Number of Participants With New or Recurrent BILAG Flares (≥ 1 Qualifying BILAG A or > 1 Qualifying BILAG B) Through Day 210

The BILAG-2004 index is an organ-specific 97-question assessment based on the principle of the doctor's intent to treat. Only clinical features attributable to SLE disease activity were recorded and based on the participant's condition in the last 4 weeks compared with the previous 4 weeks. It was scored as not present (0), improved (1), the same (2), worse (3), or new (4). Disease activity was graded separately for 9 body systems to 5 different grades (A to E) as follows: A is very active disease, B is moderate activity, C is mild stable disease, D is inactive now but previously active, and E indicates the organ was never involved. A shift from BILAG-2004 Grade A or B to a lower grade indicates a clinically relevant change in disease activity as the BILAG-2004 grades mirror the decision points for treatment interventions.
