    Measured by ELISA at various time points

  2. Change from baseline of certain cell subsets [ Time Frame: 2 years ]
    Measured by flow cytometry at various time points

  3. Time to clinical remission [ Time Frame: 2 years ]
    Measured by BVAS/WG

  4. Incidence of serious adverse events (SAEs) [ Time Frame: 2 years ]
    Hospitalisation or serious events
