Study Summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of belimumab in adult patients with active lupus nephritis.

Primary Outcome

PERR is defined as urinary protein creatinine ratio \<=0.7, estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGRF) was not more than 20 percent (%) below the pre-flare value or \>=60 milliliters per minute per 1.73 square meter (mL/min/1.73m\^2) and was not a treatment failure. Analysis was performed using a logistic regression model for the comparison between Belimumab and Placebo with covariates treatment group, induction regimen (CYC vs. MMF), race (Black vs. Non-Black), Baseline urine protein-creatinin
