A study participant is considered to be a BILAG 2004-based Composite Lupus Assessment (BICLA) responder if all of the following is fulfilled:
- British Isles Lupus Assessment Group Disease Activity Index 2004 (BILAG 2004) improvement without worsening (A scores at Baseline improved to B, C or D; B scores improved to C or D; no new A scores and ≤1 new B.); and
- No worsening in the Systemic Lupus Erythematosus Disease Activity Index 2000 (SLEDAI-2K) total score compared to Baseline Visit (defined as no increase in SLEDAI-2K total score); and

- Achievement of prevention of severe BILAG flares (severe BILAG flare-free) through Week 48 [ Time Frame: During Treatment Period up to Week 48 ]BILAG severe flare is defined as a British Isles Lupus Assessment Group Disease Activity Index 2004 (BILAG 2004) Grade A in any system due to individual items that are new or worse and are qualifying for the Grade A (Isenberg et al, 2011). Determination of items that are new or worse qualifying for the Grade A will be according to the supplementary information for the numerical scoring of the BILAG-2004 index (Yee et al, 2010).

Low lupus disease activity state (LLDAS) is defined as:

- No new and/or worsening disease activity defined as no SLEDAI-2K component documented as present that was not documented present at previous visit
- PGA ≤33mm
- Prednisone equivalent systemic dose for systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) indication ≤7.5mg per day
- Stable standard maintenance doses of immunosuppressive drugs as allowed by protocol
- Change from Baseline in SLEDAI-2K at Week 48 [ Time Frame: From Baseline (Day 1) to Week 48 ]The SLEDAI-2K Systemic Lupus Erythematosus Disease Activity Index 2000 (SLEDAI-2K; 30 days) measures disease activity. It is a global index and includes 24 clinical symptoms and laboratory variables that are weighted by the type of manifestation, but not by severity or dynamic of the individual item. The total score falls between 0 and 105, with higher scores representing increased disease activity.
- Achievement of BILAG improvement without worsening at Week 48 [ Time Frame: Week 48 ]BILAG 2004 improvement without worsening can be defined as A scores at Baseline improved to B, C or D; B scores improved to C or D; no new A scores and ≤1 new B.

- Achievement of SRI4 response at Week 48 [ Time Frame: Week 48 ]
The Systemic Lupus Erythematosus Responder Index (SRI)-4 define responders as (ie, all criteria must be met):
- Reduction in SLEDAI-2K score of ≥4
- No shift from BILAG 2004 Grade B, C, D, or E to A post-Baseline

BILAG severe flare is defined as a BILAG 2004 Grade A in any system due to individual items that are new or worse and are qualifying for the Grade A (Isenberg et al, 2011). Determination of items that are new or worse qualifying for the Grade A will be according to the supplementary information for the numerical scoring of the BILAG-2004 index (Yee et al, 2010).
BILAG moderate flare is defined as 2 or more BILAG 2004 Grade Bs due to individual items that are new or worse and are qualifying for the Grade B in any system (Isenberg et al, 2011). Determination of items that are new or worse qualifying for the Grade B will be according to the supplementary information for the numerical scoring of the BILAG- 2004 index (Yee et al, 2010)
- Time to severe BILAG Flare through Week 48 [ Time Frame: During Treatment Period up to Week 48 ]BILAG severe flare is defined as a BILAG 2004 Grade A in any system due to individual items that are new or worse and are qualifying for the Grade A (Isenberg et al, 2011).

- Percentage of participants with treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) during the study [ Time Frame: From Baseline (Day 1) until Safety Follow-Up (up to Week 54) ]Treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) are any untoward medical incidence in a subject during administered study treatment, whether or not these events are related to study treatment.
- Percentage of participants with serious treatment-emergent adverse events during the study [ Time Frame: From Baseline (Day 1) until Safety Follow-Up (up to Week 54) ]
A serious treatment-emergent adverse event (serious TEAE) is any untoward medical occurrence that at any dose:
- Results in death
- Is life-threatening
- Requires in patient hospitalisation or prolongation of existing hospitalisation
- Is a congenital anomaly or birth defect
- Is an infection that requires treatment with parenteral antibiotics
- Other important medical events which based on medical or scientific judgement may jeopardise the patients, or may require medical or surgical intervention to prevent any of the above
- Percentage of participants with treatment-emergent adverse events of special interest during the study [ Time Frame: From Baseline (Day 1) until Safety Follow-Up (up to Week 54) ]An adverse event of special interest is any AE that a regulatory authority has mandated be reported on an expedited basis, regardless of the seriousness, expectedness, or relatedness of the AE to the administration of a UCB product/compound.
- Percentage of participants with treatment-emergent adverse events of special monitoring during the study [ Time Frame: From Baseline (Day 1) until Safety Follow-Up (up to Week 54) ]An adverse event of special monitoring is a product-specific AEs, adverse reactions, or safety topics considered as requiring special monitoring by UCB.

| Plan to Share IPD: | Yes |
| Plan Description: | Data from this trial may be requested by qualified researchers six months after product approval in the US and/or Europe, or global development is discontinued, and 18 months after trial completion. Investigators may request access to anonymized individual patient-level data and redacted trial documents which may include: analysis-ready datasets, study protocol, annotated case report form, statistical analysis plan, dataset specifications, and clinical study report. Prior to use of the data, proposals need to be approved by an independent review panel at www.Vivli.org and a signed data sharing agreement will need to be executed. All documents are available in English only, for a prespecified time, typically 12 months, on a password protected portal. This plan may change if the risk of re-identifying trial participants is determined to be too high after the trial is completed; in this case and to protect participants, individual patient-level data would not be made available. |
