Brief summary
The purpose of the OBSErve-LN study is to assess the real-world use and effectiveness of belimumab in routine practice for the treatment of adults with active LN in multiple countries of interest. This study aims to provide the first long-term (up to 5 years) assessment of renal function preservation in belimumab treated participants.
Detailed description
This is a Phase 4 study and will involve both prospective and retrospective data collection from participants.

Eligibility
Inclusion criteria
* Participants to provide a signed informed consent at the time of enrollment per protocol, * Male or female aged 18 or over at initiation of belimumab, * Participants received belimumab in any formulation (subcutaneous or intravenous) for the treatment of active LN prescribed as per local label in combination with standard immunosuppressive therapy/ies at initiation of belimumab, * Participants initiated belimumab 6 to 24 months prior to study enrollment, * Accessibility of medical records starting at belimumab initiation (including accessibility of medical records for the prior 12 months and confirmatory biopsy at any time prior to belimumab initiation), * Biopsy-confirmed LN diagnosis at any time prior to belimumab initiation for treatment of LN * Class III (focal LN) with or without Class V (membranous LN), * Class IV (diffuse LN) with or without Class V, * Class V.
Exclusion criteria
* Participants receiving renal replacement therapy (i.e., dialysis, kidney transplant, or those in end-stage kidney disease) at initiation of belimumab, * Participant is concomitantly receiving another SLE targeted monoclonal antibody (MAb), or a MAb expected to compromise immune responses, at initiation of belimumab, * Participants in a clinical trial during the observation period (with the exception of allowing participation in other non-interventional studies), * Participant is pregnant at the initiation of belimumab, * Participant with a kidney transplant at the initiation of belimumab, * Participants will be excluded from the study if they are planning to become pregnant or are pregnant at study enrollment.
Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Number of Participants Maintaining Renal Function (Less than Equal to [<=] 30 Percentage [%] Decline in Estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate [eGFR] from the Initiation of Belimumab) and Not Requiring Renal Replacement Therapy | At Month 24 | Renal replacement therapy will involve participants requiring dialysis, kidney transplant, or those in end-stage kidney disease. |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|

| Number of Participants Maintaining Renal Function (<=30% Decline in eGFR from the Initiation of Belimumab) and Not Requiring Renal Replacement Therapy (in Those that Remain Adherent to Belimumab) at Month 24 | At Month 24 | Renal replacement therapy will involve participants requiring dialysis, kidney transplant, or those in end-stage kidney disease. |
| Change in the Daily Dose of Steroid (in milligrams per day) from the Initiation of Belimumab | Baseline (Day 1) to Month 60 | — |
| Estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate (eGFR) Slope over Time | Up to Month 60 | — |
| Time to Achieving eGFR 30% and 40% Reduction | Up to Month 60 | — |
