Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: Cenerimod 0.5 mg
Participants will receive cenerimod 0.5 mg once daily in addition to background SLE therapy. Treatment Period 1 is 6 months long. It will start with the administration of the first dose of study treatment, after randomization, and end at the Month 6 visit. All randomized participants need to complete Treatment Period 1 before continuing in Treatment Period 2. In Treatment Period 2 participants will continue with cenerimod 0.5 mg for a further 6 months and end study treatment at the Month 12 visit.
Cenerimod will be supplied as a film-coated tablets at the dose of 0.5 mg
Experimental: Cenerimod 1 mg
Participants will receive cenerimod 1 mg once daily in addition to background SLE therapy. Treatment Period 1 is 6 months long. It will start with the administration of the first dose of study treatment, after randomization, and end at the Month 6 visit. All randomized participants need to complete Treatment Period 1 before continuing in Treatment Period 2. In Treatment Period 2 participants will continue with cenerimod 1 mg for a further 6 months and end study treatment at the Month 12 visit.
Cenerimod will be supplied as a film-coated tablets at the dose of 1 mg
Experimental: Cenerimod 2 mg
Participants will receive cenerimod 2 mg once daily in addition to background SLE therapy. Treatment Period 1 is 6 months long. It will start with the administration of the first dose of study treatment, after randomization, and end at the Month 6 visit. All randomized participants need to complete Treatment Period 1 before continuing in Treatment Period 2. In Treatment Period 2 participants will continue with cenerimod 2 mg for a further 6 months and end study treatment at the Month 12 visit.
Cenerimod will be supplied as a film-coated tablets at the dose of 2 mg
Experimental: Cenerimod 2 mg (Ex-4mg)
Half the participants that complete treatment with cenerimod 4 mg in Treatment Period 1 will be re-randomized to cenerimod 2 mg once daily in addition to background SLE therapy during Treatment Period 2. Participants will receive cenerimod 2 mg for 6 months and end study treatment at the Month 12 visit.
Cenerimod will be supplied as a film-coated tablets at the dose of 2 mg
Placebo Comparator: Placebo (Ex-4mg)
Half the participants that complete treatment with cenerimod 4 mg in Treatment Period 1 will be re-randomized to placebo (matching cenerimod) once daily in addition to background SLE therapy during Treatment Period 2. Participants will receive cenerimod 2 mg for 6 months and end study treatment at the Month 12 visit.
Matching placebo will be supplied as identical film-coated tablets formulated with the same excipients but without the active ingredient, cenerimod
Experimental: Cenerimod 4 mg
Participants will received cenerimod 4 mg once daily in addition to background SLE therapy for up to 6 months in Treatment Period 1. The participants randomized to the 4 mg treatment who were still on treatment at Month 6 were re-randomized in a 1:1 ratio to placebo or cenerimod 2 mg to enter Treatment Period 2. The participants who did not complete 6 months of cenerimod 4 mg treatment will be analyzed in the "Non Re-randomized (Ex-4mg)" treatment group.
Cenerimod will be supplied as a film-coated tablets at the dose of 4 mg
Placebo Comparator: Placebo
Participants will receive placebo (matching cenerimod) once daily in addition to background SLE therapy. Treatment Period 1 is 6 months long. It will start with the administration of the first dose of study treatment, after randomization, and end at the Month 6 visit. All randomized participants need to complete Treatment Period 1 before continuing in Treatment Period 2. In Treatment Period 2 participants will continue with placebo (matching cenerimod) for a further 6 months and end study treatment at the Month 12 visit.
Matching placebo will be supplied as identical film-coated tablets formulated with the same excipients but without the active ingredient, cenerimod

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Change From Baseline to Month 6 in the Modified Systemic Lupus Erythematosus Activity Index 2000 (mSLEDAI-2K) Score
Time Frame: Baseline (Day 1) and Month 6
The primary endpoint is the absolute change from baseline in the modified Systemic Lupus Erythematosus Activity Index 2000 (mSLEDAI-2K) score. The SLEDAI-2K is a cumulative index of lupus disease activity scored by the physician. It is calculated from 24 individual descriptors across 9 organ systems, with weighted scores of 2-8, and measures disease activity within the last 10 days. 0 points indicates inactive disease, and 105 points is the maximum possible score. In this study the SLEDAI-2K was modified, to exclude leucopenia (minus 1 point), due to the mechanism of action of cenerimod. Improvement in systemic lupus erythematosus disease activity is defined as a reduction in SLEDAI-2K score of greater than or equal to 4. A decreased score, i.e., a negative change, indicates an improvement in systemic lupus erythematosus disease activity from baseline to Month 6.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Response on Systemic Lupus Erythematosus Responder Index 4 (SRI-4) at Month 6 as Compared to Baseline
Time Frame: Baseline (Day 1) and Month 6

A responder could only be assessed if the full information of all body systems was available. A participant was defined as a responder based on the Systemic Lupus Erythematosus Responder Index 4 (SRI-4) was a composite, binary endpoint based on three variables:

  • mSLEDAI-2K score had to have a reduction from baseline greater than or equal to 4,
  • Physician Global Assessment (PGA) had to have an increase from baseline less than or equal to 0.3. The PGA is a 100 mm visual analog scale used by the physician to assess disease activity ranging for 0 to 3. The scale is anchored with values from 0 = "none" and 3 = "severe"), and
  • BILAG-2004 (no new BILAG A organ domain score and at most one new BILAG B organ domain score) compared with baseline.

If one of the SRI-4 mSLEDAI-2K, PGA and BILAG variables were not met the subject was scored a non-responder. Participants that did not fit at least one of the above criteria were assigned to the missing group.

Baseline (Day 1) and Month 6
British Isles Lupus Assessment Group-2004 (BILAG) Disease Activity Index Response at Month 6
Time Frame: Baseline (Day 1) and Month 6

The British Isles Lupus Assessment Group-2004 (BILAG) is a comprehensive tool used by the physician to assess disease activity and is sensitive to small changes over time.

Response (no worsening) at Month 6 on BILAG-2004 disease activity index was defined as no new BILAG A organ domain score and no more than one new BILAG B organ domain score compared with baseline.

No analysis is reported because the model did not meet the convergence criteria.
