Efficacy and Safety Study of Abatacept to Treat Lupus Nephritis
A Phase II/III Multi-Center, Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Study to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of Abatacept Versus Placebo on a Background of Mycophenolate Mofetil and Glucocorticosteroids in Subjects With Active Proliferative Glomerulonephritis Due to Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE)

Brief Summary
The purpose of this clinical research study is to learn if addition of abatacept is safe and improves the effectiveness of treatment of patients with active lupus nephritis who are also taking mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) and corticosteroids.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
Time to First Confirmed Complete Renal Response (CRR) During the Short-term (Double-blind) Period
Confirmed at 2 consecutive visits. CRR defined as meeting all of 5 criteria. Renal function (RF): (Glomerular filtration rate \[GFR\] calculated using Modification of Diet in Renal Diseases equation equation) Calculated function abnormal at screening visit - return of renal function to greater than or equal to 90% of function at approximately 6 months prior to onset of the current episode of lupus nephritis. Calculated function normal at screening visit - estimated renal function 90% or greater of level at screening visit. Proteinuria: urinary protein/creatinine ratio \<30 mg/mmol. Hematuria: red blood cell (RBC) count within normal limits of Central Laboratory. Pyuria: White blood cell count (WBC) within normal limits of Central Laboratory. Cylindruria: No RBC or WBC casts reported.
Day 1 (randomization) to 12 months.

Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if:
- Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) as defined by meeting at least 4 of the 11 classification criteria of the American College of Rheumatology for the classification of Systemic Lupus Erythematosus, either sequentially or coincident. The 4 criteria need not be present at study entry
- Renal biopsy within 12 months prior to screening visit indicating active proliferative lupus glomerulonephritis (met ISN/RPS Class III or IV classification criteria \[2003\], excluding Class III \[C\], IV-S \[C\] and IV-G \[C\], or the World Health Organization Class III or IV classification criteria \[1982\], excluding Class IIIc, IVd). If the renal biopsy was performed \>3 months but ≤12 months prior to screening visit, at least 1 of the following 3 serologies (performed locally) must have been abnormal prior to screening visit: complement (C3 or C4) level below normal range OR anti-dsDNA \>upper limit of normal range.
- A stable serum creatinine ≤3 mg/dL
You may not qualify if:
- Subjects with a rise in serum creatinine of ≥1 mg/dL within 1 month prior to the screening visit
- Subjects with drug-induced SLE, as opposed to idiopathic SLE
- Subjects with severe, unstable and/or progressive Central nervous system (CNS) lupus
- Subjects with autoimmune disease other than SLE as their main diagnosis (e.g.; Rheumatoid arthritis (RA), Multiple Sclerosis \[MS\])
- Subjects who have received treatment with cyclophosphamide within 3 months of randomization (Day 1).
- Subjects who have received treatment with rituximab \< 6 months prior to the screening visit
