Eligibility criteria

Key Inclusion Criteria:

  • Kidney biopsy within the 36 months prior to screening with a histologic diagnosis of LMN (International Society of Nephrology [ISN] and the Renal Pathology Society [RPS] 2003 classification of lupus nephritis), either Class V alone, or Class V in combination with Class II.
  • Urine protein excretion ≥ 1.5 grams per day
  • Estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) ≥ 40 mg/min/1.73m\^2 based on the modification of diet in renal disease (MDRD) formulation at screening
  • No evidence of active or latent tuberculosis (TB) as assessed during screening

Key Exclusion Criteria:

  • Prior treatments as follows:

    • Previous treatment with a janus kinase (JAK) inhibitor within 3 months of Day 1
    • Use of rituximab or other selective B lymphocyte depleting agents (including experimental agents) within 6 months of Day 1. Enrollment is permitted if the last dose was given > 6 months and CD19-positive B cells are detectable at Screening.
  • Use of any concomitant prohibited medications as described in the protocol

Note: Other protocol defined Inclusion/Exclusion criteria may apply.

Study arms

  • Experimental
    Lanraplenib 30 mg

    Participants receive lanraplenib 30 mg tablet + filgotinib placebo tablet orally once daily for 16 weeks in Blinded Treatment Phase. Participants who achieve ≥ 35% reduction in urinary protein excretion from baseline continue to receive same blinded study treatment for additional 16 weeks. Participants who did not achieve a ≥ 35% reduction in urinary protein excretion will switch treatment. After 32 weeks of blinded treatment, participants who have ≥ 35% reduction in urinary protein excretion from baseline continue their assigned blinded treatment for additional 20 weeks in Extended Blinded Treatment Phase.

    Drug: Lanraplenib · Drug: Filgotinib placebo

  • Experimental
    Filgotinib 200 mg

    Participants receive filgotinib 200 mg tablet + lanraplenib placebo tablet orally once daily for 16 weeks in Blinded Treatment Phase. Participants who achieve ≥ 35% reduction in urinary protein excretion from baseline continue to receive same blinded study treatment for additional 16 weeks. Participants who did not achieve a ≥ 35% reduction in urinary protein excretion will switch treatment.

    Drug: Filgotinib · Drug: Lanraplenib placebo

  • Experimental
    Lanraplenib 30 mg to Filgotinib 200 mg

    At Week 16, participants who do not achieve a ≥ 35% reduction in urinary protein excretion from baseline to Week 16 switch treatment and receive filgotinib 200 mg + lanraplenib placebo for additional 16 weeks. At Week 32, participants who do not achieve a ≥ 35% reduction in urinary protein excretion from Week 16 to Week 32 can continue whichever treatment that lead to the greatest reduction in urinary protein excretion, or either treatment per investigator's discretion for additional 20 weeks in Extended Blinded Treatment Phase.

    Drug: Filgotinib · Drug: Lanraplenib placebo

  • Experimental
    Filgotinib 200 mg to Lanraplenib 30 mg

    At Week 16, participants who do not achieve a ≥ 35% reduction in urinary protein excretion from baseline to Week 16 switch treatment and receive lanraplenib 30 mg + filgotinib placebo for additional 16 weeks. At Week 32, participants who do not achieve a ≥ 35% reduction in urinary protein excretion from Week 16 to Week 32 can continue whichever treatment that lead to the greatest reduction in urinary protein excretion, or either treatment per investigator's discretion for additional 20 weeks in Extended Blinded Treatment Phase.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Percent Change in Urine Protein From Baseline (Day 1) to Week 16

    Urine protein was assessed by urinary protein excretion during a 24-hour urine collection.

    Time frame: Baseline; Week 16

Secondary outcomes

  1. Change From Baseline (Day 1) in Urine Protein at Week 16

    Urine protein was assessed by urinary protein excretion during a 24-hour urine collection.

    Time frame: Baseline; Week 16

  2. Change From Baseline (Day 1) in Estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate (eGFR) at Week 16

    Time frame: Baseline; Week 16

  3. Change From Baseline (Day 1) in Urine Protein Creatinine Ratio (UPCR) at Week 16

    UPCR was assessed by urine protein excretion during a 24-hour urine collection.

    Time frame: Baseline; Week 16

  4. Percentage of Participants With Partial Remission at Week 16

    Partial Remission was defined as urine protein excretion below \< 3 g/day and urine protein excretion decrease by ≥ 50% among participants with baseline (Day 1) nephrotic range proteinuria \[urine protein excretion ≥ 3 g/day\]; or urine protein excretion decrease by ≥ 50% among participants with subnephrotic range proteinuria \[urine protein excretion \< 3 g/day\]).

    Time frame: Week 16

  5. Percentage of Participants With Complete Remission at Week 16

    Complete Remission was defined as urine protein excretion below 0.5 g/day, with no hematuria.

    Time frame: Week 16

Limitations and caveats
Gilead made a decision to discontinue enrollment after very low enrollment over 16 months. This decision was not due to any safety concerns. Only 9 participants were enrolled and 3 participants completed study, no inferential analyses were performed.

Participant flow

Participants were enrolled at study sites in United States. The first participant was screened on 06 October 2017. The last study visit occurred on 03 February 2020.
