Assessment

Primary outcomes

Efficacy of combined corticosteroids and TAC compared to combined corticosteroids and MMF in achieving sustained renal response (RR) in patients with active lupus nephritis [Class III/IV+/-V (LN)] [ Time Frame: 96 weeks ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
Sustained RR defined as satisfying all of the following criteria:
1. proteinuria improved by >50% compared with baseline
2. 24-hr urine protein <1 g
3. serum creatinine not higher than 15% above baseline level
4. no occurrence of disease flare, defined as receiving 'rescue' increase of immunosuppressive therapy with any one of the following - requiring increase of prednisolone (or prednisone, or equivalent) dose to above 15 mg/D for 4 weeks or longer, change of originally assigned immunosuppressive agent, or addition of immunosuppressive medications prohibited in protocol

Key inclusion criteria

1. Biopsy-proven LN Class III/IV+/-V (ISN/RPS 2003), with biopsy performed within 12 weeks of randomization.
2. Positive anti-dsDNA.
3. Active LN with proteinuria (urine protein/creatinine ratio >1.0 or 24-hr urine protein >1.0 g at baseline), with or without hematuria.
4. Both 'incident' (i.e. new) patients and 'flare' patients can be included.

Key exclusion criteria

1. Renal disease unrelated to SLE (e.g. diabetes mellitus, other glomerular or tubulointerstitial disease, renovascular disease), or transplanted kidney.
2. Estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR by MDRD) =<20 mL/min per 1.73 m2 or serum creatinine >300 micromol/L (3.39 mg/dL) at screening.
3. Renal biopsy showing cellular or fibrocellular crescent in more than 25% of glomeruli.
4. CNS or other severe organ manifestation of lupus that necessitate aggressive immunosuppressive therapy on its own.
5. Co-morbidities that require corticosteroid therapy (e.g. asthma, inflammatory bowel disease).
6. Treatment with prednisolone (or prednisone, or equivalent) at >20 mg/D for over 4 weeks within the past 3 months.
7. Treatment with MMF at >1.5 g/D for over 4 weeks within the past 3 months.
8. Known hypersensitivity or intolerability to prednisolone (or prednisone, or equivalent), TAC, or MMF at a dose of 1.25 g or below per day.
9. Subjects who are already on treatment with TAC, cyclosporine or any other calcineurin inhibitor for over 4 weeks within the past 12 months.
10. Treatment with cyclophosphamide, leflunomide, or methotrexate for over 2 weeks, or use of biological agent(s) regardless of duration, within the past 6 months (Note: prior use of azathioprine, mizoribine, intravenous immunoglobulins and anti-malarials is allowed).
11. Uncontrolled hypertension with systolic BP >160 mmHg or diastolic BP >95 mmHg.
12. Women who are pregnant or breastfeeding.
13. Women with childbearing potential or their male partners, who refuse to use an effective birth control method
