Brief Summary

The objective of this study is to collect and assess the information about long-term safety and effectiveness of Benlysta for intravenous injection and Benlysta for subcutaneous injection (hereinafter referred to as "Benlysta") in daily clinical practice. The aim of conducting this drug use investigation (DUI) in all subjects until data are accumulated from a certain number of subjects after Benlysta being marketed, data will be collected on safety and effectiveness of Benlysta in an early stage and thereby to take the necessary measures for proper use of Benlysta. Approximately 600 subjects will be enrolled in to this study. The observation period per subject will be 52 weeks from the start of Benlysta administration. BENLYSTA is the registered trademark of GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) group of companies.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (6)

• Change from Baseline in Safety of Estrogens in Lupus Erythematosus National Assessment Systemic Lupus Erythematosus Disease Activity Index (SELENA SLEDAI)

  The Systemic Lupus Erythematosus Disease Activity Index (SLEDAI) is a validated index for assessing Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) disease activity. It is a weighted index in which signs and symptoms, laboratory tests, and physician's assessment for each of 9 organ systems are given a weighted score and summed, if present at the time of the visit or in the preceding 10 days. Modified version of SLEDAI is Safety of Estrogen in Lupus National Assessment (SELENA) SLEDAI where the maximum theoretical score for the SELENA SLEDAI was 105 with 0 indicating inactive disease.

  Baseline and up to 52 weeks

• Change from Baseline in Physician's Global Assessment (PGA) score

  The PGA is a 0 to 30 centimeters (cm) visual analogue scale (VAS). The investigator will assess the subject's global disease activity, and draw a vertical line between 0 (none) and 3 (severe) where 0 is none (no disease activity), 1 is mild, 2 is moderate and 3 is severe (worst lupus disease imaginable).

  Baseline and up to 52 weeks

• Change from Baseline in Lupus Impact Tracker score

  The investigator will interview subjects about their conditions in the previous one month using Lupus Impact Tracker, the impact on daily living will be assessed using a 5-point scale of 0 (none of the time) to 4 (all of the time).

  Baseline and up to 52 weeks

• Number of subjects with abnormal change in laboratory parameters

  Information will be collected for number of subjects with abnormal changes in laboratory parameters.

  Baseline and up to 52 weeks

• Number of subjects with adverse events (AE) and serious adverse events (SAE)

  AE is any untoward medical occurrence in a subject or clinical investigation subject, temporally associated with the use of a medicinal product, whether or not considered related to the medicinal product. An SAE is any untoward medical occurrence that, at any dose results in death, is life threatening, requires hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization, results in disability/incapacity, or is a congenital anomaly/birth defect or is medically significant.

  Up to 52 weeks

• Number of subjects with adverse drug reactions (ADR) of events defined as a priority study matter

  An adverse drug reaction (ADR) is an unwanted or harmful reaction experienced following the administration of a drug or combination of drugs under normal conditions of use and is suspected to be related to the drug. Following will be considered as priority study matter: Serious hypersensitivity, Serious infections (including tuberculosis \[TB\], pneumonia, pneumocystis pneumonia \[PCP\], sepsis, and opportunistic infection \[OI\]), Reactivation of hepatitis B (HB) virus, Progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML), Interstitial pneumonitis (IP), Malignant tumor (MT), Depression and events related to suicide/self-injury.

  Up to 52 weeks
