Summary

This is a randomized, double blind, placebo controlled trial of abatacept for the treatment of lupus arthritis and other manifestations of lupus. Patients with lupus and at least 3 tender and 3 swollen joints and \</= 20 mg prednisone have other background immune suppressants withdrawn at entry. They can elect to receive up to a total of 320 mg depomedrol (in two or more injections) between the screening visit and the visit 2 months after dosing begins. Abatacept (125 mg) or placebo is administered in weekly subcutaneous doses. After 3 months of treatment patients who are not responding may elect to receive open label abatacept with or without additional standard of care therapies. Such patients are considered non responders. The primary endpoint is the British Isles Lupus Assessment Group Index (BILAG)-linked Combined Lupus Assessment (BICLA) which will require a clinically significant improvement in arthritis and other active features of lupus
