SLE-BRAVE research program
A study looking for people with lupus to find out if an investigational oral treatment is effective
Study Title
Protocols I4V MC JAHZ / I4V-MC-JAIA
A Randomized, Double Blind, Placebo Controlled, Parallel Group, Phase 3 Study of Baricitinib in Patients with Systemic Lupus Erythematosus
Sponsor Name
Eli Lilly & Company
Purpose
The aim of the SLE-BRAVE program is to determine whether baricitinib, combined with standard lupus therapy, can help in the treatment of lupus (people with active lupus nephritis and active lupus that affects the central nervous system are excluded). It also will look at the safety of baricitinib and determine if there are any additional side effects.
