Brief Summary:

Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) is an immune-mediated disease associated with inflammation of multiple organ systems. This study will assess how safe and effective upadacitinib is in treating adult participants with moderately to severely active SLE. Adverse events and change in the disease activity will be assessed.

Upadacitinib is an approved drug for rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, and axial spondylarthritis and is being developed for the treatment of SLE. This study is "double-blinded", which means that neither the trial participants nor the study doctors will know who will be given upadacitinib and who will be given placebo (does not contain treatment drug) . This study comprised of 3 sub studies. In Study 1 and Study 2, study doctors put the participants in 1 of the 2 groups, called treatment arms. Each group receives a different treatment. There is a 1 in 2 chance that participants will be assigned to placebo. Eligible participants from Study 1 and Study 2 will enter Study 3 at week 52 to receive specific doses of upadacitinib based on their disease activity and their original treatment assignment in Study 1 or 2. Approximately 500 participants diagnosed with SLE will be enrolled in each of the Study 1 and Study 2 in approximately 320 sites across the world.

Participants will receive oral tablets of upadacitinib or matching placebo once daily for 52 weeks in Study 1 and Study 2. Eligible participants from Study 1 and Study 2 will receive oral tablets of upadacitinib once daily for 52 weeks in Study 3.

There may be higher treatment burden for participants in this trial compared to their standard of care. Participants will attend regular visits during the study at a hospital or clinic. The effect of the treatment will be checked by medical assessments, checking for side effects and completing questionnaires.

Outcome Measures
Go to 
Top of Page Study Description Study Design Arms and Interventions Outcome Measures Eligibility Criteria Contacts and Locations More Information

Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Percentage of Participants Achieving British Isles Lupus Assessment Group Based Combined Lupus Assessment (BICLA) Response [ Time Frame: At Week 52 ]
    BICLA is a composite responder index based on improvement in organ systems without worsening of the overall condition and improvement in disease activity.


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Percentage of Flares Participants Experiencing Over Time (Number of Flares Per Patient-Year) [ Time Frame: Week 52 ]
    Flare is defined by the Safety of Estrogens in Lupus Erythematosus National Assessment (SELENA) Systemic lupus erythematosus disease activity index (SLEDAI) Flare Index (SFI). An index defining Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) flares using changes in the Hybrid SLEDAI (hSLEDAI) score, definitions of worsening signs and symptoms, treatment changes, and Physician's Global Assessment of Disease Activity. Flare rate is number of flares per patient-year.

  2. Percentage of Participants Achieving Systemic Lupus Erythematosus Responder Index (SRI) -4 [ Time Frame: At Week 52 ]
    SRI is a composite responder index based on improvement in disease activity (number following SRI indicates numerical improvement in hSLEDAI score) without worsening of the overall condition (no worsening in Physician's Global Assessment (PhGA), < 0.3 point increase) or the development of significant disease activity in new organ systems (no new British Isles Lupus Assessment Group [BILAG] A or > 1 new BILAG B).

  3. Percentage of Participants Achieving Lupus Low Disease Activity State (LLDAS) [ Time Frame: At Week 52 ]
    LLDAS is a state of low disease activity based on SLEDAI score (hSLEDAI score <= 4 excluding hSLEDAI activity in major organ systems), absence of SLE disease activity in major organ systems and new disease activity, Physician's Global Assessment (PhGA <= 1), and concomitant medication usage.

  4. Time to First Flare per SELENA SLEDAI Flare Index (SFI) [ Time Frame: Week 52 ]
    SFI is an index defining SLE flares using changes in the hSLEDAI score, definitions of worsening signs and symptoms, treatment changes, and Physician's Global Assessment of Disease Activity.

  5. Percentage of Participants Achieving Oral Glucocorticoid Dose <=7.5 mg/day Prednisone-Equivalent [ Time Frame: From Week 44 to Week 52 ]
    Achievement of oral glucocorticoid dose <=7.5 mg/day prednisone-equivalent among participants taking >= 10 mg/day prednisone-equivalent at baseline.

  6. Percentage of Participants Achieving >= 50% Improvement in Tender or Swollen Joints [ Time Frame: Week 52 ]
    Achievement of >= 50% improvement in tender or swollen joints among participants with >= 3 swollen joints and >= 6 total affected joints at Baseline.

  7. Percentage of Participants Achieving >= 50% reduction in Cutaneous Lupus Erythematosus Disease Area and Severity Index (CLASI) Activity Score [ Time Frame: Week 52 ]
    CLASI index used to assess cutaneous manifestations of SLE summarizing the activity of the disease. Scores range from 0 to 70, with higher scores indicating more severity. Achievement of >= 50% reduction in CLASI activity score among participants with baseline score >=10.

  8. Change from Baseline in Lupus Pain Numerical Rating Scale (NRS) [ Time Frame: Baseline to Week 52 ]
    The Lupus Pain-NRS is a single-item questionnaire in which participants are asked to rate their overall pain level due to lupus over the last week. The Lupus Pain-NRS scores range from 0 to 10, with higher scores indicating a higher level of pain.

  9. Change from Baseline in Functional Assessment of Chronic Illness Therapy-Fatigue (FACIT-Fatigue) Version 4 [ Time Frame: Baseline to Week 52 ]
    The FACIT-Fatigue questionnaire is a self-administered patient questionnaire that consists of 13 questions designed to measure the degree of fatigue experienced by participants. Participants respond to the questions on a scale from 0 (not at all) to 4 (very much). The FACIT-Fatigue score is computed by summing the item scores, after reversing those items that are worded in the negative direction. The FACIT-Fatigue score ranges from 0 to 52, where higher scores represent less fatigue.

  10. Change from Baseline in 36-Item Short Form Health Survey (SF-36) Acute Physical Component Summary (PCS) [ Time Frame: Baseline to Week 52 ]
    The SF-36v2® Health Survey Acute is a general HRQoL instrument with extensive use in multiple disease states. The instrument comprises 36 total items (questions) targeting a participants's functional health and well-being in 8 dimensions (physical functioning, role physical, bodily pain, general health, vitality, social functioning, role emotional, and mental health). Scoring is totaled into a Physical Component Summary and a Mental Component Summary. Higher scores indicate a better state of health.
