A Double-blind, Randomised, Placebo-controlled Trial Evaluating the Effect of BI 655064 Administered as Sub-cutaneous Injections, on Renal Response After One Year of Treatment, in Patients With Active Lupus Nephritis

The overall purpose of the study is to assess the efficacy of three different doses of BI
655064 against placebo as add-on therapy to standard of care (SOC) treatment for active lupus
nephritis in order to characterize the dose-response relationship within the therapeutic
range, and select the target dose for phase III development.


Inclusion criteria:

(as assessed by investigator) to use simultaneously two reliable methods of birth
control, one of which must be highly effective. Highly effective method, per ICH

used consistently and correctly.

Pathology Society (RPS) -2003 classification) with either active or active/chronic
disease, co-existing class V permitted, proven by renal biopsy within 3 months prior
to screening or during screening if induction therapy has not yet been started

finding in the medical examination that in the investigator's opinion would compromise
the safety of the patient or the quality of the data

- Any induction therapy for Lupus Nephritis within the last 6 months prior to
randomisation except induction with Mycophenolate Mofetil and high dose steroids
started within 6 weeks prior to randomisation

- Treatment with any biologic B-cell depleting therapy (e.g. anti-CD20, anti-CD22,)
within 12 months prior to randomisation

- Treatment with abatacept within 12 months prior to randomisation

- Treatment with tacrolimus or cyclosporin within 4 weeks prior to randomisation
