SRI-4 response at Week 52 is defined as a ≥ 4-point decrease in the hybrid Systemic Lupus Erythematosus Disease Activity Index (hSLEDAI) score, and no new British Isles Lupus Assessment Group (BILAG) 2004 A score, no greater than 1 new BILAG B domain scores compared with baseline, and a less than 0.3-point deterioration from baseline in Physician Global Assessment (PGA) (scale 0 to 3), and no use of more than protocol allowed therapies.

An adverse event (AE) is defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical trial subject, including worsening of a pre-existing medical condition and clinically significant changes in laboratory test results and physical exam findings. The event does not necessarily have a causal relationship with study treatment. AEs were graded for severity according to the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) Version 4, where Grade 1 = Mild, Grade 2 = Moderate, Grade 3 = Severe or medically significant, Grade 4 = Life-threatening, and Grade 5 = Death. A serious adverse event is defined as an AE that met at least 1 of the following serious criteria: * fatal; * life threatening; * required in patient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization; * resulted in persistent or significant disability/incapacity; * congenital anomaly/birth defect; * other medically important serious event. The investigator assessed whether each AE was related to study drug.

TEAEs were adverse events with an onset after the administration of study treatment. TEAEs were graded using the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version 4.0. Grade 2 Moderate; minimal, local or noninvasive intervention indicated; limited age appropriate instrumental activities of daily life (ADL). Grade 3 Severe or medically significant but not immediately life-threatening; hospitalization or prolonged hospitalization indicated; disabling; limited self care ADL. Grade 4 Life-threatening consequences; urgent interventions indicated. Serious adverse events (SAEs) were defined as meeting at least 1 of the following criteria: * Results in death (fatal) * Immediately life-threatening * Requires in-patient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization * Results in persistent or significant disability/incapacity * Is a congenital anomaly/birth defect * Other medically important serious event

Physical examinations were performed by the investigator, designated physician, or nurse practitioner. A complete physical examination included, at a minimum, assessment of cardiovascular, respiratory, gastrointestinal and neurological systems. A brief physical examination included assessment of the skin, lungs, cardiovascular system, and abdomen (liver and spleen).

Any changes in blood pressure, body temperature, heart rate, and pulse rate that were deemed as clinically significant by the Investigator were reported.

Laboratory safety tests included chemistry, hematology, and urinalysis parameters. Clinically significant laboratory safety tests were any events assessed as CTCAE Grade ≥3 at any post-baseline visit. Grade 3 Severe or medically significant but not immediately life-threatening; hospitalization or prolonged hospitalization indicated; disabling; limited self care ADL. Grade 4 Life-threatening consequences; urgent interventions indicated.

Any changes in ECG parameters that were deemed clinically significant by the Investigator were reported.
