Randomised, Placebo-controlled, Double-blind, Parallel-group Phase II Study to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of Oral BI 3000202 in Patients With Moderate to Severe Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE)
This study is open to adults with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). The purpose of this study is to find out whether a medicine called BI 3000202 helps people with SLE. The study tests different doses of BI 3000202 and aims to find the best dose for people with this condition.
Participants are put into 5 groups randomly, which means by chance. 4 groups get different doses of BI 3000202, and 1 group gets a placebo. Placebo tablets look like BI 3000202 tablets but do not contain any medicine. Participants take the tablets for 1 year. All participants also continue their regular treatment for SLE.
Participants are in the study for a bit longer than 1 year. During this time, they visit the study site regularly. Doctors check the participants' health and take note of any unwanted effects. They also compare the results between the groups to see if the treatment works.

Exclusion: Drug-induced SLE; Oral corticosteroids (prednisone or equivalent) >30 mg/day at screening Further exclusion criteria apply; Scleroderma (except linear scleroderma that does not interfere with assessments of SLE disease activity) or in the opinion of the investigator or adjudicator elements of other connective tissue disease that would interfere with interpretation of test results or SLE clinical assessments; Active or unstable lupus neuropsychiatric manifestations, including but not limited to any condition as defined by BILAG A criteria in the neuropsychiatric system, with the exception of mononeuritis/mononeuropathy multiplex, chorea, and polyneuropathy; Lupus nephritis that may require a change in immune-modulating treatment or which demonstrates serum creatinine that is unstable or >2 × Upper Limit of Normal (ULN) and/or Urine Protein Creatinine Ratio (UPCR) that is unstable or > 3mg/mg (339 mg/mmol).
