Percentage of Participants Achieving a Systemic Lupus Erythematosus Responder Index (SRI) Response Rate With the Modified Systemic Lupus Erythematosus Disease Activity Index- 2K (SLEDAI-2K) Scoring for Proteinuria at Week 52 [DB Phase]
Week 52
SRI response is defined as \>=4 point reduction, from Baseline in safety of estrogen in Lupus National Assessment(SELENA)SLEDAI\[SS\] score (with modified SLEDAI-2K scoring for proteinuria \[PU\]), no worsening (increase of \<0.30 points from Baseline) in Physician's Global Assessment (PGA) and no new British Isles Lupus Assessment Group of SLE clinics(BILAG)A organ domain score \[ODS\] or 2 new BILAG B ODS compared with Baseline. Drop-outs and treatment failures were set to non-responders. Analysis performed using a logistic regression model for comparison between belimumab and placebo with covariates treatment group, Baseline SS score (with modified SLEDAI-2K scoring for PU) (\<=9 versus \[vs.\] \>=10), Baseline complement levels (low C3 and/or C4 vs. no low C3 or C4) and region (United States \[US\]/Canada vs. Rest of World). The Modified Intention-To-Treat (mITT) population comprised of safety population excluding participants who had any assessment at 3 sites (202196, 202513 or 107286).
PrimaryPercentage of Participants Achieving a SRI Response Rate With the Modified SLEDAI-2K Scoring for Proteinuria at Week 24 of OL PhaseWeek 24 of OL phase (Week 76)
SRI response is defined as \>=4 point reduction, from OL Baseline in SS score (with the modified SLEDAI-2K scoring for PU), no worsening (increase of \<0.30 points from OL Baseline) in PGA and no new BILAG A ODS or 2 new BILAG B ODS compared with OL Baseline. For participants switching from placebo to belimumab 10 mg/kg IV in the OL phase, Baseline was defined as the last assessment at the end of the double-blind phase (i.e. Week 52) pre-OL treatment. For participants that received belimumab 10 mg/kg IV during the double-blind phase and continued to receive belimumab 10 mg/kg IV during the OL phase, Baseline was defined as Day 1 of the double-blind phase.
PrimaryNumber of Participants With Non-serious Adverse Events (nSAEs) and Serious Adverse Event (SAEs) [OL Phase]Week 52 to Week 84
An adverse event (AE) is any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical investigation participant, temporally associated with the use of a medicinal product, whether or not considered related to the medicinal product. SAE is defined as any untoward medical occurrence that; results in death, is life-threatening, requires hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization, results in disability/incapacity, is a congenital anomaly/birth defect, other situations judged by physician, is associated with liver injury and impaired liver function. Number of participants who had common nSAEs (\>=5%) and any SAEs are presented. For Safety, participants that completed DB and OL phase, an additional 8 weeks follow-up was conducted (Week 84).
PrimaryNumber of Participants With Severe AEs [OL Phase]Week 52 to Week 84
An AE is any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical investigation participant, temporally associated with the use of a medicinal product, whether or not considered related to the medicinal product. Number of participants with severe AEs have been presented. For Safety, participants that completed DB and OL phase, an additional 8 weeks follow-up was conducted (Week 84).
PrimaryNumber of Participants With AEs Leading to Treatment Discontinuation [OL Phase]Week 52 to Week 84
An AE is any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical investigation participant, temporally associated with the use of a medicinal product, whether or not considered related to the medicinal product.

Blood samples were collected for the assessment of hematology parameters. The parameters assessed were activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT), hemoglobin, leukocytes, neutrophils, platelets and prothrombin time. Grading was assigned as mild (Grade 1), moderate (grade 2), severe (Grade 3) and potentially life-threatening (Grade 4) according to Division of Microbiology and Infectious Diseases (DMID \[Modified from DMID Adult Toxicity Tables, 2001\]) AE Severity Grading. Number of participants with worst toxicity Grade 3 or 4 for hematology parameters have been presented. For Safety, participants that completed DB and OL phase, an additional 8 weeks follow-up was conducted (Week 84).
PrimaryNumber of Participants With Worst Toxicity Grade of 3 or 4 for Clinical Chemistry Parameters [OL Phase]Week 52 to Week 84

The parameters assessed were alkaline phosphatase (ALP), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), gamma glutamyl transferase (GGT), bilirubin, albumin, creatinine, hyperglycemia, hypoglycemia and urate. Grading was assigned as mild (Grade 1), moderate (grade 2), severe (Grade 3) and potentially life-threatening (Grade 4) according to DMID AE Severity Grading. Number of participants with worst toxicity Grade of 3 or 4 for liver function and other chemistry parameters have been presented.

PrimaryNumber of Participants With Worst Toxicity Grade of 3 or 4 for Urinalysis Parameters [OL Phase]Week 52 to Week 84
Urinalysis parameters assessed were urine protein and protein/creatinine. Urine samples were collected for the measurement of urinalysis parameters by dipstick method. Grading was assigned as mild (Grade 1), moderate (grade 2), severe (Grade 3) and potentially life-threatening (Grade 4) according to DMID AE Severity Grading. Number of participants with worst toxicity grade of 3 or 4 for urinalysis parameters have been presented. For Safety, participants that completed DB and OL phase, an additional 8 weeks follow-up was conducted (Week 84).
PrimaryNumber of Participants With Worst Toxicity Grade of 3 or 4 of Immunoglobulins [OL Phase]Week 52 to Week 84
Serum samples were obtained for the measurement of immunoglobulin G. Grading was assigned as mild (Grade 1), moderate (grade 2), severe (Grade 3) and potentially life threatening (Grade 4) according to DMID AE Severity Grading. Number of participants with worst toxicity grade of 3 or 4 of immunoglobulin G have been presented. For Safety, participants that completed DB and OL phase, an additional 8 weeks follow-up was conducted (Week 84).
SecondaryPercentage of Participants Achieving SRI-SS Response Rate at Week 52 [DB Phase]Week 52
SRI is defined as \>=4 point reduction, from Baseline in SS score, no worsening (increase of \<0.30 points from Baseline) in PGA and no new BILAG A organ domain score or 2 new BILAG B organ domain scores compared with Baseline. Drop-outs and Treatment failures were set to non-responders. Analysis was performed using a logistic regression model for the comparison between belimumab and placebo with covariates treatment group, Baseline SS score (\<=9 vs. \>=10), Baseline complement levels (low C3 and/or C4 vs. no low C3 or C4) and region (US/Canada vs. Rest of World).
