Description
The POETYK SLE-1/SLE-2 (IM011-246/247) studies are two identical studies. If eligible, you will be enrolled in only one of these two studies. Participation may last between approximately 14 and 38 months and consists of a screening period, a double-blind treatment period, an optional open-label long-term extension period, and a follow-up period. Approximately 980 participants will be enrolled in the studies and will be randomized to receive either the investigational medication or a placebo to be taken orally, while remaining on your current standard-of-care treatment. Regardless of whether you are assigned to receive the investigational medication or the placebo, you will still receive the same level of study-related care.
