Official title: BEL114333, a Multicenter, Continuation Study of Belimumab in Subjects With Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) Who Completed the Phase III Study BEL113750 in Northeast Asia or Completed the Open-label Extension of HGS1006-C1115 in Japan

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

This study provides subjects who complete the BEL113750 study and subjects who complete the open-label extension of HGS1006-C1115 (referred to as C1115) Study in Japan the option of continuing treatment with belimumab (10 mg/kg intravenously every 4 weeks) for those randomized to belimumab, or the option to begin treatment with belimumab for those randomized to placebo, as an add-on to their standard of care SLE therapy.

Clinical Trial Description

This is a multicentre, continuation study of belimumab plus standard of care (SOC) in SLE subjects who completed the Phase III BEL113750 protocol in Northeast Asia or who completed the open-label extension of the HGS1006-C1115 protocol in Japan. This study provides subjects who complete the BEL113750 study the option of continuing treatment with belimumab (10 mg/kg intravenously every 4 weeks) for those randomized to belimumab, or the option to begin treatment with belimumab for those randomized to placebo, as an add-on to their SOC SLE therapy. Subjects participating in this continuation protocol will continue to be monitored for safety and efficacy, as measured by the SLE responder index. Subjects who complete 48 weeks of treatment on the BEL113750 study and who meet inclusion/exclusion criteria, and provide informed consent, will be given the option to enter the continuation study. All subjects will receive belimumab 10 mg/kg IV infused over 1 hour every 4 weeks. Subjects recruited into this study will continue to receive treatment with belimumab until such time as belimumab becomes commercially available in a subject's country of participation, or the subject elects to participate in another belimumab continuation study for SLE, or until either the subject's physician withdraws the subject from the study, or upon the decision by the sponsor to discontinue further development of belimumab for SLE. ;
