Primary Outcome Measures:
  • At Wk 52 the % of subjects with great than or equal to 4 point reduction from baseline in SELENA SLEDAI score & no worsening in PGA & no new BILAG A organ domain score or 2 new BILAG B organ domain scores compared with baseline at the time of assessment. [ Time Frame: 52 Weeks ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]

Secondary Outcome Measures:
  • At Wk 76, % of subjects with great than or equal to 4 point reduction from baseline in SELENA SLEDAI score & no worsening in (PGA) and no new BILAG organ domain score or 2 new BILAG organ domain scores compared with baseline at the time of assessment. [ Time Frame: 76 Weeks ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • Percent of subjects with great than or equal to 4 point reduction from baseline in SELENA SLEDAI score at Wk 52. [ Time Frame: 52 Weeks ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • Mean change in PGA at Wk 24. [ Time Frame: 24 Weeks ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • Mean change in SF-36 Health Survey physical component summary score (PCS) at Wk 24. [ Time Frame: 24 Weeks ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • Percent of subjects whose average prednisone dose has been reduced by greater than or equal to 25% from baseline to less than or equal to 7.5 mg/day during Weeks 40 through 52 [ Time Frame: Weeks 40-52 ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
