At least 4 criteria must have been present for the diagnosis of SLE. It is not necessary that the 4 criteria are present at the time of selection. • Active lupus nephritis defined as follows: NL Class III or IV [exclusive III (C), IV-S (C) and IV-G (C)] according to WHO or ISN confirmed by biopsy (within 6 months prior to randomization). Patients may present Class V (see Table 1) coexisting. When possible, biopsies should be classified and reported according to the ISN / RPS classification scheme. And presence of: protein index in urine to creatinine in urine (Upr: Ucr)> 1 (which should not have improved 50% in the previous 6 months). • Patients with reproductive potential (men and women) should use a reliable contraceptive method during the study (eg, hormonal contraceptive, intrauterine device, barrier method) according to local regulations and the recommendations of the attending physician. The relevant section of the product information of CYC, MMF or AZA must be respected (as applicable). • Women with a capacity to procreate must present a negative serum pregnancy test at the screening visit prior to enrollment on Day 1.

Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Outcome name:A complete renal response (CRR) is defined as follows: 1. Creatinine in normal serum (and with an increase of not more than 25% from baseline) 2. Inactive urine sediment 3. Improvement in the protein index in urine to creatinine in urine to <0.5. Measure:Patients who achieve a Complete Renal Response Timepoints:week 48 ; Outcome name:A partial renal response (RRPI is defined as follows: A reduction of at least 50% in proteinuria from baseline, with an increase of no more than 25% of serum creatinine in week 48 compared to the evaluation basal. Measure:Patients who reach a partial renal response Timepoints:week 48 | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Outcome name:• Proportion of patients that reach a renal response (partial or complete) in Week 36 and maintain or improve this response until Week 48. • Proportion of patients that reach a complete renal response in Week 48. • Proportion of patients that reach a complete or partial renal response in Week 48. • Time to complete renal response. • AUC of IFGc between the baseline evaluation and week 48. Measure:Disease activity in Week 48 Timepoints:week 48 ; Outcome name:• Proportion of patients that achieve a renal response (partial or complete) and maintain or improve this response for 48 weeks. • Time to the first renal exacerbation, of those patients who demonstrate at least a partial renal response.
