Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

Number of Clinically Diagnosed Bacterial Infections During the Treatment Period
3 month

The number of events occurring during the treatment period. The data will be presented by the occurrence during the IVIG vs. the placebo treatment period, regardless of the order that the treatment was received. Only the clinically diagnosed bacterial infections will be counted.

Cutaneous Lupus Erythematosus Disease Area and Severity Index - Total Activity Score (CLASI - TAS)
Initial, 1st Visit - 9th Visit

Disease activity will be measured using the CLASI activity score that describes the activity of the disease. This score ranges from 0-70, with higher scores indicating more severe skin disease. This clinical assessment tool enables standardized assessments of response to therapy. Results expressed relative to the mean initial value of all patients, taken as 100%. Each proceeding visit will be relative to the initial visit. A decrease in percentage represents improvement while an increase in percentage indicates worsening of CLE. Visits occur on a month-to-month basis.

Skindex 29
Initial, 1st Visit - 9th Visit

The subjects also evaluated their skin-specific quality of life with the Skindex-29 - the questionnaire consisting of 29 items used to calculate three subscales: symptoms (pain, itch, burning, sensitivity), emotions (depression, anxiety, embarrassment, anger) and functioning (sleep, relationships with others). All assessments were repeated at all study visits. Results expressed relative to the mean initial value of all patients, taken as 100%. Each proceeding visit will be relative to the initial visit. A decrease in percentage represents improvement while an increase in percentage indicates worsening of CLE. Visits occur on a month-to-month basis.
