Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
The assessment of the safety and pharmacodynamic effect of abetimus sodium at
doses of 100mg, 300mg, and 900mg in reducing the anti-dsDNA antibody levels in
patients with SLE will be based on laboratory data from the central laboratory
and confirmed by supporting data. The pharmacodynamic effic will be assessed
using historical placebo effect as a control.
