Brief Summary:
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of IV antifrolumab in adult patients with Active Proliferative Lupus Nephritis

Condition or disease Intervention/treatment Phase
Lupus Nephritis Drug: Anifrolumab Drug: Placebo Phase 3

Detailed Description:
This is a Phase 3, multicenter, multinational, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of anifrolumab versus placebo as added to SOC (consisting of MMF and glucocorticoids) in adults with active proliferative Class III or Class IV LN (both with or without concomitant Class V). The total study duration may be up to approximately 116 weeks, including the Screening and Follow-up. Approximately 360 participants will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio to receive anifrolumab or matching placebo throughout during the Treatment Period.

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. Difference in proportion of participants with CRR (Complete Renal Response) in anifrolumab group compared with placebo group [ Time Frame: Week 52 ]

    CRR is defined as:

    • UPCR ≤ 0.5 mg/mg
    • eGFR ≥ 60 mL/min/1.73 m2 or no decrease from baseline of ≥ 20%


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Difference in proportion of participants achieving sustained OCS reduction in anifrolumab group compared with placebo group. [ Time Frame: from Week 24 through Week 52 ]
    Sustained OCS reduction

  2. Hazard Ratio (HR) of achieving sustained CRR in anifrolumab compared with placebo group [ Time Frame: baseline through Week 52 ]
    The endpoint for deriving the summary measure is time to sustained CRR, defined as time to achieving CRR that is sustained from that time point through the end of the time frame period.

  3. Difference in the mean standardized AUC for UPCR between anifrolumab and placebo participants [ Time Frame: baseline through Week 52 ]
    Proteinuria as measured by the cumulative UPCR

  4. HR to summarize the difference in the risk of hazard of renal-related event or death at any given time between anifrolumab and placebo participants [ Time Frame: baseline through Week 52, baseline through Week 104 ]

    The endpoint for deriving the summary measure is time to onset of renal-related event or death.

    Time to onset of renal event as defined as any of the following:

    1. ESKD,
    2. doubling of serum creatinine,
    3. renal worsening as evidenced by increased proteinuria and/or renal function impairment, or 4) renal disease treatment failure or death

  5. Difference in proportion of participants achieving aCRR (Alternative Complete Renal Response) [ Time Frame: Week 52 ]

    aCRR is defined as:

    • UPCR ≤ 0.5 mg/mg;
    • eGFR ≥ 90 mL/min/1.73 m2 or no confirmed decrease of eGFR from baseline of ≥ 10%.

  6. Difference in the proportion of participants achieving CRR with sustained OCS reduction [ Time Frame: Week 52 ]
    CRR with sustained OCS reduction

  7. Difference in the proportion of participants achieving CRR [ Time Frame: Week 24 ]
    Early onset of CRR

  8. HR of achieving sustained CRR in anifrolumab compared with placebo [ Time Frame: baseline through Week 104 ]
    Time to sustained CRR through the time frame period

  9. HR of achieving 50% reduction in UPCR in anifrolumab compared to placebo group [ Time Frame: baseline through Week 52 ]
    The endpoint for deriving the summary measure is time from the first dose of study intervention to achieving 50% reduction in UPCR

  10. Difference in mean UPCR between the anifrolumab and placebo group [ Time Frame: Week 52 ]
    Proteinuria as measured by UPCR

  11. PRR (Partial Renal Response) [ Time Frame: Week 52 ]

    PRR defined as:

    UPCR:

    - For participants with a baseline UPCR ≤3 mg/mg: <1.0 mg/mgb eGFR:

    ≥ 60 mL/min/1.73 m2 or no confirmed decrease of eGFR from baseline of ≥ 20%


  12. Difference in change from baseline in extra-renal SLEDAI-2K total score [ Time Frame: baseline through Week 104 ]
    The extra-renal SLEDAI-2K score is obtained by summing the SLEDAI-2K items without including the items within the renal system organ.

  13. Difference in mean change from baseline in domains and component scores of Short Form-36 Version 2 (SF-36v2) and Functional Assessment of Chronic Illness Therapy-Fatigue (FACIT-fatigue) total score [ Time Frame: Week 52 ]
    To evaluate patient-reported HRQOL and health status
