Highly effective methods of contraception include, true abstinence, intrauterine device (IUD), or hormonal contraception associated with inhibition of ovulation (oral, transdermal, implanted, and injected), intrauterine hormone-releasing system (IUS), bilateral tubal occlusion, vasectomised partner. True abstinence is defined when this is in line with the preferred and usual lifestyle of the subject." [Periodic abstinence (e.g., calendar, ovulation, symptothermal, post-ovulation methods), declaration of abstinence for the duration of a trial, and withdrawal are not acceptable methods of contraception]
  • If the patient is using oral , the weekly cumulative dose must not exceed 80 mg of prednisone equivalent; the weekly dose must be stable over the 4 weeks preceding the 1st dose of study drug.

Terms in these criteria, in plain language(20)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

Informed consent

Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.

You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.

Contraception

Ways of preventing pregnancy. “Highly effective” methods fail less than 1% of the time a year when used correctly — for example an IUD or an implant.

Criteria usually say which methods count and how long to keep using them after the last dose, sometimes for male participants too. Some studies accept a partner’s vasectomy if it was confirmed successful and that person is the participant’s only sexual partner.

Postmenopausal

Periods have stopped for good: usually no period for 12 months in a row without another medical reason, sometimes confirmed by a blood test (FSH).

Childbearing potential

Able to become pregnant: from the first period until menopause, unless permanently unable to through surgery (removal of the womb, or of both ovaries or both fallopian tubes).

Criteria for people of childbearing potential usually ask for a negative pregnancy test and for contraception during the study and for a time after it.

Corticosteroids (steroids)

Anti-inflammatory medicines such as prednisone, prednisolone and dexamethasone — not the anabolic steroids used for muscle.

Studies differ in what they allow: check which steroid medicines, routes (tablets, injections, creams, inhalers, eye drops) and doses this study accepts.

NYHA class (heart failure)

The New York Heart Association’s four classes of how much heart failure limits physical activity.

I
No limits: ordinary activity causes no undue tiredness or breathlessness.
II
Slight limits: comfortable at rest, ordinary activity causes symptoms.
III
Marked limits: comfortable at rest, less than ordinary activity causes symptoms.
IV
Symptoms even at rest; any activity makes them worse.

Studies set their own limit — many outside heart failure leave out class III–IV, while heart failure studies may ask for a particular class. Check the class this study names.

GFR and eGFR (kidney filtering)

GFR (glomerular filtration rate) is how much blood the kidneys filter each minute. It is usually estimated from a blood test — eGFR, by formulas such as CKD-EPI or MDRD — and some studies ask for it to be measured directly instead. Usually given in mL/min/1.73 m².

Check the method, the units and the minimum the study states. A value of 90 or above is in the normal-or-high range, but kidney damage can show in other tests too.

ALT and AST (liver enzymes)

Two enzymes measured in a routine blood test of the liver. Higher levels can mean the liver is under strain or damaged. SGPT and SGOT are older names for ALT and AST.

Criteria usually give a limit as a multiple of the upper limit of normal (ULN), often higher when cancer has spread to the liver.

ULN (upper limit of normal)

The top of the normal range for a blood test, as set by the laboratory that runs it. Each lab prints its own range next to your result.

“≤ 2.5 × ULN” means the result can be up to two and a half times that top value.

Bilirubin

A yellow substance made when red blood cells are broken down, which the liver clears. A high level can mean a problem with the liver or the bile ducts.

Criteria often allow more for people with Gilbert’s syndrome, a harmless inherited condition that raises bilirubin.

Live vaccines

Vaccines made with a weakened form of the germ, such as measles–mumps–rubella (MMR), chickenpox and yellow fever. They can be risky when the immune system is weakened. Flu injections are not live; the nasal flu spray is.

Clinically significant

Judged by the study doctor to matter for your health or for the study. It is a doctor’s decision, so ask the study team if you are unsure whether something counts.

ECG (electrocardiogram)

A recording of the heart’s electrical activity, taken with stickers on the chest, arms and legs. It takes a few minutes and does not hurt.

Hepatitis B tests

Hepatitis B is a virus that infects the liver. These are separate tests: HBsAg positive usually means a current infection (a recent vaccination can briefly cause it too); total anti-HBc (HBcAb) positive means an infection now or in the past; HBV DNA measures how much virus is in the blood.

Some studies accept a past infection if HBV DNA is undetectable, sometimes with antiviral medicine during the study. Check what this study allows.

Hepatitis C tests

Hepatitis C is a virus that infects the liver. An HCV antibody test can stay positive after an infection has cleared (and is occasionally positive without one); an HCV RNA test shows whether the virus is there now.

After treatment, hepatitis C counts as cured when HCV RNA is still undetectable 12 weeks or more after the treatment ended. Studies often accept people cured this way.

HIV

The human immunodeficiency virus, which weakens the immune system.

Many studies now accept people whose HIV is controlled on treatment, judged by the viral load and the CD4 count. Check the limits this study sets.

Immunosuppression

A weakened immune system. It can come from an illness, such as HIV or some blood cancers, or from medicines that turn the immune system down, for example after an organ transplant or for an autoimmune disease; steroids at higher doses count.

Read whether the line is about a condition or about medicines, and which medicines and doses it means.

DSM diagnostic criteria

The American Psychiatric Association’s manual of mental health diagnoses. DSM-5 (2013, revised as DSM-5-TR in 2022) replaced DSM-IV, and some studies still name the older edition. “Meets DSM criteria for …” means diagnosed by that edition’s diagnostic criteria, usually by a clinician in an interview.

Hypersensitivity

An allergy, or another reaction of the immune system, to a substance. “Hypersensitivity to the study drug” means a known allergic reaction to it — not every side effect a medicine can have.

Investigational drug or device

A drug or device being studied in a clinical trial.

It may be new, or already approved and being studied for another use, dose or form. Criteria often leave out people who took part in another study of one within a recent period, commonly 30 days or five half-lives.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Occurrence of adverse events throughout the study

    all adverse events will be coded using MedDRA and the sverity will be graded according to the modified WHO toxicity Criteria and they will be determined by the Investigator to be treatment related. The incidence of adverse events will be summarized using descriptive statistics by system organ classe and preferred term.

    Time frame: 7 months

  2. Clinical laboratory test results at each visit during the treatment extension period

    Summary statistics for laboratory tests will be presented at baseline and at each visit.The severity of select laboratory resuts will be graded accroding the Modified WHO Toxicity Criteria.

    Time frame: 7 months

  3. Body weight measurements at each visit during the treatment period

    The incidence of clinically significant abonormal values will be summarized using descriptive statistics.

    Time frame: 7 months

  4. Temperature measurements at each visit during the treatment period

    The incidence of clinically significant abonormal values will be summarized using descriptive statistics.

    Time frame: 7 months

  5. Pulse measurements at each visit during the treatment period

    The incidence of clinically significant abonormal values will be summarized using descriptive statistics.

    Time frame: 7 months

  6. Systolic and diastolic blood pressures measurements at each visit during the treatment period

    The incidence of clinically significant abonormal values will be summarized using descriptive statistics.

    Time frame: 7 months

  7. 2-lead electrocardiogram (ECG) findings at week 28 (or final assessment)

    Any ECG finding that is judged by the investigator as a clinically significant change (worsening) compared to a baseline value will be considered an adverse event coded using MedDRA

    Time frame: 7 months

  8. Physical examination findings, at specified time points at each visit during the treatment extension period

    Body system (General appearance, Skin, HEENT (Head, eyes, ears, nose, throat), Lymph Nodes, Thyroïd, Musculo-skeletal / Extremities, Cardiovascular, Lungs, Abdomen, Neurological) findings that is judged by the investigator as a clinically significant change (worsening) compared to a baseline value will be considered an adverse event coded using MedDRA

    Time frame: 7 months

  9. Concomitant medication usage throughout the study extension

    All concomittant medication will be coded using the WHO Drug dictionnary. The incidence of concomittant medications will be sumamrized using descriptive statistics by therapeutic class and preferred terms category.

    Time frame: 7 months

Secondary outcomes

  1. the effect in the Clinical SLEDAI-2K total score by at final visit compared to initial visit

    The SLEDAI 2K is a validated objective measure that assesses disease activity within the last 28 days before completion of the index. It is a global index and includes 24 weighted clinical and laboratory variables. The SLEDAI-2K clinical score is the calculated score without inclusion of the points that may be contributed by having a psoitive titer fr anti-dsdna Ab or decreased serum complement level. The SLEDAI-2K clinical score (sum of 22 scores) ranges from 0 to 101.

    Time frame: at week 28

  2. remission of the disease (i.e reduction of clinical SLEDAI-2K score to 0)

    Time frame: at week 28
