Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

  1. Number of Participants Who Achieved Complete Renal Response (CRR) [Week 48]

    CRR was defined as: 1. Normal serum creatinine (and with no more than a 25 percent [%] increase from Baseline); 2. Improvement in urinary protein:urinary creatinine ratio to less than or equal to (≤) 0.5. PRR was defined as at least 50 percent (%) reduction in proteinuria from Baseline, without more than 25% increase of serum creatinine at Week 48, compared with Baseline. If Baseline urine protein:urine creatinine ratio was greater than (>) 3, a urine protein:urine creatinine ratio of less than (<) 3 needed to be achieved.

  2. Percentage of Participants Who Achieved Overall Response [Week 48]

    Overall response rate (ORR) equals (=) CRR + PRR. CRR was defined as: 1. Normal serum creatinine (and with no more than a 25% increase from baseline) 2. Improvement in urinary protein:urinary creatinine ratio to ≤0.5. PRR was defined as at least 50 % reduction in proteinuria from Baseline, without more than 25% increase of serum creatinine at Week 48, compared with Baseline. If Baseline urine protein:urine creatinine ratio is >3, a urine protein:urine creatinine ratio of <3 needs to be achieved.

Secondary Outcome Measures

  1. Percentage of Participants Who Achieved a Renal Response (Partial or Complete) by Week 36, and Sustain or Improve This Response Until Week 48 [Weeks 36, 40, 44, and 48]

  2. Time To Complete Renal Response [Baseline up to Week 48]

    Time to complete renal response was proposed to be analyzed using a stratified log rank test with race and SOC as stratification factors. Comparisons of ocrelizumab versus placebo were to be expressed as p-values, estimated hazard ratios, adjusted proportions of participants who achieved a complete renal response and their 95% confidence intervals. Kaplan-Meier curves were to be produced. Due to early termination of the study the analyses were not performed.

  3. Area Under the Curve (AUC) of Calculated Glomerular Filtration Rate (cGFR) Between Baseline and Week 48 [Baseline and Weeks 1, 2, 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24, 28, 32, 36, 40, 44, and Week 48]

    The improvement of AUC of cGFR was to be measured between Baseline and Week 48. This was to be analyzed with Analysis of Covariance (ANCOVA) with race and SOC as covariates.

  4. Percentage of Participants Who Achieved A Reduction In Systemic Lupus Erythematosis Disease Activity Index (SLEDAI) -2K Score [Baseline and Weeks 1, 2, 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24, 28, 32, 36, 40, 44, and 48]

    SLEDAI-2K measures disease activity at the visit or within the preceding 10 days. It comprised of 24 descriptors, covering 9 organ systems, and reflects disease activity over the previous 10 days.The total SLEDAI-2K score falls between 0 and 105, with higher scores representing higher disease activity

  5. Time to First Renal Flare In Those Participants Who Demonstrated at Least a Partial Renal Response [Weeks 1, 2, 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24, 28, 32, 36, 40, 44, and 48]

    Renal flares may be either proteinuric or nephritic as defined below: Proteinuric Flares are defined as follows:In participants who achieve a urine protein:urine creatinine (Upr:Ucr) ≤ 0.5, an increase to Upr:Ucr >1; In participants with an Upr:Ucr >0.5, a doubling of Upr:Ucr (with a minimum increase to Upr:Ucr >2). Nephritic Flare defined as: Increase in serum creatinine of ≥30% from the lowest value achieved in the study accompanied by Increase Upr:Ucr >1 Or New/worsening active urine sediment on two consecutive occasions, in the absence of urinary tract infection or other causes of hematuria.

  6. Percentage of Participants Who Achieved Clinically Meaningful Improvement in the Physical and Mental Component Scores of the Short Form 36 (SF36) From Baseline to Week 48 [Baseline and Weeks 1, 12, 24, 36, and 48]

    The SF36 Health Survey is a 36-item, patient-reported survey of patient health. The SF-36 consists of eight scaled scores, which are the weighted sums of the questions in their section. Each scale is directly transformed into a 0-100 scale. A score of zero is equivalent to maximum disability and a score of 100 is equivalent to no disability. The eight sections are: vitality, physical functioning, bodily pain, general health perceptions physical role functioning, emotional role functioning, social role functioning, and mental health.

  7. Percentage of Participants Who Achieved Clinically Meaningful Improvement in Fatigue Using the Functional Assessment of Chronic Illness Therapy (Facit) Fatigue Questionnaire From Baseline to Week 48 [Baseline and Weeks 1, 2, 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24, 28, 32, 36, 40, 44, and 48]

    The FACIT Fatigue Scale is a short, 13-item, easy-to-administer tool that measures an individual's level of fatigue during their usual daily activities over the past week. The level of fatigue is measured on a four point Likert scale (4 = not at all fatigued to 0 = very much fatigued).

  8. Percentage of Participants Who Achieved Clinically Meaningful Improvement in Pain Using the Modified Brief Pain Inventory Short Form (mBPI-SF) From Baseline to Week 48 [Baseline and Weeks 1, 12, 24, 36, and 48]

    m-BPI-sf is a self-administered 11-point Likert rating scale to rate pain in the past 24 hours. A single item pertains to worst pain in the past 24 hours with a range of 0 (no pain) to 10 (worst imaginable pain).

  9. Health Care Visits Over the 48-Week Treatment Period [Weeks 1, 24, and 48]

    The number of health care visits (including doctor's office visits, Emergency room/ Accident and Emergency [ER/A&E] visits and hospitalizations) over the 48-week treatment period were recorded.

  10. Percentage of Participants Who Achieved a CRR or PRR And Who Received A Corticosteroid Dose of <10 Milligrams Per Day (mg/Day) From Week 24 to Week 48 [Week 48]

    CRR was defined as: 1. Normal serum creatinine (and with no more than a 25% increase from Baseline) 2. Inactive urinary sediment 3. Improvement in urinary protein:urinary creatinine ratio to ≤0.5. PRR was defined as at least 50% reduction in proteinuria from Baseline, without more than 25% increase of serum creatinine at Week 48, compared with Baseline. If Baseline urine protein:urine creatinine ratio was >3, a urine protein:urine creatinine ratio of <3 needed to be achieved.

  11. Percentage of Participants Who Achieved a CRR or PRR And Who Received a Corticosteroid Dose of <5 mg/Day by Week 48 [Week 48]

    CRR was defined as: 1. Normal serum creatinine (and with no more than a 25% increase from Baseline) 2. Inactive urinary sediment 3. Improvement in urinary protein:urinary creatinine ratio to ≤0.5. PRR was defined as at least 50% reduction in proteinuria from Baseline, without more than 25% increase of serum creatinine at Week 48, compared with Baseline. If Baseline urine protein:urine creatinine ratio was >3, a urine protein: urine creatinine ratio of <3 needed to be achieved.

  12. Average Corticosteroid Burden Measured by AUC of the Cumulative Corticosteroid Dose Between 16 and 48 Weeks [Weeks 16, 20, 24, 28, 32, 36, 40, 44, and 48]

    AUC is the area under the curve (mathematically known as definite integral) in a plot of concentration of drug in blood plasma against time. AUC was to be used to determine the average corticosteroid burden.

  13. Percentage of Participants Who Stopped Immunosuppressants After Week 48 [Week 48]

    The number of participants who stopped immunosuppressants were to be determined by survey.

  14. Mean Absolute Counts of Cluster of Differentiation (CD) 19 Positive (+) Cells Per Visit [Baseline, Day 15, Week 4, 16, 32, 48, and by infusion (pre and post infusion) on Day 1, 15, Week 16, 32]

    CD19 is a cell surface molecule which assembles with the antigen receptor of B lymphocytes. It is a critical signal transduction molecule that regulates B lymphocyte development, activation, and differentiation. CD19+ cells were measured as cells per microliter (cells/uL).

  15. Percentage of Participants With CD19+ Absolute B Cell Counts <10 Cells Per Microliter (Cells/uL) [Baseline, Day 15, Week 4, 16, 32, 48, and by infusion (pre and post infusion) on Day 1, 15, Week 16, 32]

    CD19 is a cell surface molecule which assembles with the antigen receptor of B lymphocytes. It is a critical signal transduction molecule that regulates B lymphocyte development, activation, and differentiation. 0 represents 0% of participants.

  16. Percentage of Participants With CD19+ Absolute B Cell Counts <20 Cells/uL by Visit [Baseline, Day 15, Week 4, 16, 32, 48, and by infusion (pre and post infusion) on Day 1, 15, Week 16, 32]

    CD19 is a cell surface molecule which assembles with the antigen receptor of B lymphocytes. It is a critical signal transduction molecule that regulates B lymphocyte development, activation, and differentiation. n = number of participants analyzed at the specified visit. 0 represents 0% of participants.

  17. Percentage of Participants With CD19+ Absolute B Cell Counts Less Than the Lower Limit of Normal (LLN) by Visit [Baseline, Day 15, Week 4, 16, 32, 48, and by infusion (pre and post infusion) on Day 1, 15, Week 16, 32]

    CD19 is a cell surface molecule which assembles with the antigen receptor of B lymphocytes. It is a critical signal transduction molecule that regulates B lymphocyte development, activation, and differentiation. <LLN = 80 cells/uL.

  18. Percentage of Participants Achieving a Major Clinical Response or a Partial Clinical Response [Baseline and Weeks 1, 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24, 28, 32, 36, 40, 44, and 48]

    A major clinical response was defined as British Isles Lupus Assessment Group (BILAG) C scores or better at Week 24 without developing any new A or two new B scores up to Week 24 and maintenance of this response without developing a moderate or severe flare between Week 24 and Week 48. A partial clinical response was defined as BILAG C scores or better at Week 24 and maintaining this response without developing a flare for 16 consecutive weeks. The BILAG is an organ-specific 86-question assessment based on the principle of the doctor's intent to treat, which requires an assessment of improved (1), the same (2), worse (3), or new (4) over the last month. Within each organ system, multiple manifestations and laboratory tests are combined into a single score for that organ. The resulting scores for each organ can be A through E, where A is very active disease, B is moderate activity, C is mild stable disease, D is resolved activity, and E indicates the organ was never involved.

Title Percentage of Participants Achieving a Major Clinical Response or a Partial Clinical Response
Description A major clinical response was defined as British Isles Lupus Assessment Group (BILAG) C scores or better at Week 24 without developing any new A or two new B scores up to Week 24 and maintenance of this response without developing a moderate or severe flare between Week 24 and Week 48. A partial clinical response was defined as BILAG C scores or better at Week 24 and maintaining this response without developing a flare for 16 consecutive weeks. The BILAG is an organ-specific 86-question assessment based on the principle of the doctor's intent to treat, which requires an assessment of improved (1), the same (2), worse (3), or new (4) over the last month. Within each organ system, multiple manifestations and laboratory tests are combined into a single score for that organ. The resulting scores for each organ can be A through E, where A is very active disease, B is moderate activity, C is mild stable disease, D is resolved activity, and E indicates the organ was never involved.
