Inclusion criteria

  • Male or female patients.
  • Women of childbearing potential and men able to father a child must be ready and able to use two reliable methods of birth control simultaneously, one of which must be highly effective. Highly effective birth control per International Conference on Harmonisation (ICH) M3(R2) is a method that result in a low failure rate of less than 1% per year when used consistently and correctly. The reliable methods of birth control must be used before starting Mycophenolate mofetil/Azathioprine (MMF/AZA) and the trial drug; then continue during the trial period; and for at least 50 days after the last dose of MMF/AZA and trial medication. In case a female patient is treated with AZA the contraception shall continue for 90 days after treatment with AZA.A list of contraception methods meeting these criteria is provided in the patient information.
  • Sexually active men must be ready to use condoms during treatment with MMF/AZA and for at least 90 days after cessation of MMF/AZA.
  • Permanent sterilisation methods include hysterectomy, bilateral oophorectomy and bilateral salpingectomy.
  • Tubal ligation is NOT a method of permanent sterilisation.
  • A postmenopausal state is defined as no menses for 12 months without an alternative medical cause.
  • Signed and dated written informed consent in accordance with ICH-GCP and local legislation prior to admission to the trial.

For Group 1 patients only:

- Achieved either a Complete renal Response (CRR) or a Partial Renal Response (PRR) or proteinuria ≤ 1g/d (or UP/UC ≤ 1) at the end of 1293.10.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Evidence of current or previous clinically significant diseases or medical conditions other than lupus, or findings of the medical examination (including vital signs and ECG) that, in the opinion of the investigator, would compromise the safety of the patient or the quality of the data. This criterion provides an opportunity for the investigator to exclude patients based on clinical judgment, even if other eligibility criteria are satisfied.
  • Significant central nervous system symptoms related to Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) based on investigators assessment.
  • Clinically important acute or chronic infections including but not limited to HIV, hepatitis B or C.
  • Impaired hepatic function defined as serum Aspartate Aminotransferase/Alanine Aminotransferase (AST/ALT), bilirubin or alkaline phosphatase > 2 x Upper Limit of Normal (ULN).
  • Estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) \< 30 ml/min/1.73m2 at screening (using CKD-EPI formula).
  • Known hypersensitivity to any constituents of the trial medication; and/or contraindications to Mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) or Azathioprine (AZA) or glucocorticoids.
  • The use of any restricted medications or any drug considered likely to interfere with the safe conduct of the trial.
  • Unable to comply with the protocol in the investigator's opinion.
  • Chronic alcohol or drug abuse or any condition that, in the investigator's opinion, makes them an unreliable trial patient or unlikely to complete the trial.
  • Women who are pregnant, nursing, or who plan to become pregnant while in the trial.

Complete renal response (CRR) was defined as urine protein (UP) \< 0.5 g/day and either estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) within normal range or decrease in eGFR \< 20% from baseline if eGFR was below normal range (below lower limit of normal \[LLN\], where LLN = 90 mL/min.

Change from baseline in Systemic Lupus Erythematosus Disease Activity Index (SLEDAI) total score at Week 42 is reported. Change from baseline at Week 42 is calculated as: value at Week 42 - value at baseline. SLEDAI assessment consists of 24 items capturing non-renal and renal symptoms. The total score captures non-renal and renal symptoms. Each of the 24 items has a score ranging from 1 to 8. A participant will get the score if the event of the item presents, while 0 if not. 8 items have the score 8, 6 items have the score 4, 7 items have the score 2, and 3 items have the score 1. The SLEDAI Total score is the sum of the scores of the 24 items, ranging from 0 (better health) to 105 (worse health).

Timeline

Tracking since Sep 25, 2026
ElapsedEstimatedEstimated, not yet reachedSimilar studies: half by the dot; the band is the middle halfHalf of similar studies reached it by the dot; the band is the middle half, from a quarter to three quarters

Ran from Jan 2018 to primary completion in May 2021, 40 months.

Results were first posted in Jul 2022, 1 year 1 month after primary completion.

Of 31 phase 2 interventional studies under Lupus Nephritis, half reached primary completion within 40 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 28 and three quarters within 57. This study's 40 months is close to that.

How these figures are worked out, and which studies are left out of them.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Jul 13, 2022, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
