Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Patients who achieve a complete renal response (CRR) [ Time Frame: Week 48 ]
  2. Patients who achieve a partial renal response (PRR) [ Time Frame: Week 48 ]

Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Proportion of patients who achieve a renal response, major clinical response, or partial clinical response [ Time Frame: Weeks 48, 72, and 96 ]
  2. Proportion of patients who achieve a reduction from baseline in SLEDAI 2K score, no worsening in physician's global assessment, no new BILAG A organ domain score, and no more than 1 new BILAG B organ domain score [ Time Frame: Week 48 ]
  3. Change in SF-36 subscale FACTIT-Fatigue assessment, change from baseline in pain quality, and impact of pain on daily function [ Time Frame: Week 48 ]
  4. Proportion of patients who achieve a CRR or PRR and who have received a daily dose of corticosteroids from Week 24 and average corticosteroid burden [ Time Frame: Week 48 ]
