Condition(s) studied

Investigational drug(s) / intervention(s)

Obinutuzumab: Obinutuzumab will be administered by IV infusion at a dose of 1000 mg at Baseline and Weeks 2, 24, 26, 50 (group 2: placebo), and 52 and subsequently from Week 80 and every 6 months thereafter, based on response.

MMF: MMF willl be administered at a target dose of 2.0 - 2.5 g/day in divided doses through Week 80.

Prednisone: Prednisone 0.5 mg/kg/day (maximum 60 mg/day) will be started on Day 2. Beginning on Day 15, prednisone will be tapered to 5 mg/day and continued until Week 80.

Placebo: Placebo matching obinutuzumab will be administered by IV infusion at baseline and Weeks 0, 2, 24, 26, 50 and 52 and subsequently from Week 80 and every 6 months thereafter based on response.

Methylprednisolone: Methylprednisolone 80 mg IV will be administered as predmedication prior to infusions.

Acetaminophen: Acetaminophen 650-1000 mg will be administered as premedication prior to infusions.

Diphenhydramine: Diphenhydramine 50 mg will be administered as premedication prior to infusions.

Study summary

This study will evaluate the efficacy, safety, and pharmacokinetics of obinutuzumab compared with placebo in participants with International Society of Nephrology/Renal Pathology Society (ISN/RPS) 2003 class III or IV lupus nephritis (LN) when added on to standard-of-care therapy consisting of mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) and corticosteroids.

Eligibility

Primary outcome measure(s)

• Percentage of Participants With Complete Renal Response (CRR) — At Week 76
  CRR was defined as an achievement of all the following criteria: urinary protein-to-creatinine ratio (UPCR) \<0.5 gram/gram (g/g); estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) \>=85% of baseline, as calculated using the chronic kidney disease epidemiology collaboration (CKD-EPI) equation and no occurrence of intercurrent events of rescue therapy, treatment failure, death or early study withdrawal. Obinutuzumab and placebo were compared using Cochran-Mantel-Haenszel (CMH) test adjusting for the stratification factors region and race. Missing data was imputed by multiple imputations using fully conditional specification (FCS) predicted mean matching method. Percentage have been rounded off.
