A study to test whether different doses of BI 3000202 help people with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE)
EU CTIS ID: 2025-523488-39-00
What this study is testing
The primary objectives are to demonstrate a non-flat dose response curve and to evaluate the treatment effect of different dose regimens of BI 3000202 vs. placebo based on the primary endpoint of achievement of SRI-4 response at Week 32 in patients with moderate to severe SLE.
- Therapeutic exploratory (Phase II)

Who can take part
You may be able to join if
- 1. Male and female adult patients from ≥18 years (or alternative age for adults based on local regulations) to <75 years
- 2. Confirmed SLE diagnosis meeting the EULAR/ACR classification criteria at least 24 weeks prior to screening
- 3. At least one of the following positive at screening: antinuclear antibodies (ANA) ≥1:80 or anti-dsDNA antibody or anti-Smith antibody
- 4. Total SLEDAI-2K score ≥6 points and clinical SLEDAI-2K score ≥4 points
- 5. At least 1 BILAG A and/or 1 BILAG B grade at screening, with sufficient disease activity according to both investigator and adjudicator
- 6. On SLE background therapy with a maximum of 1 immunosuppressant and/or 1 antimalarial for ≥8 weeks and at a stable dose for ≥4 weeks before screening and/or oral corticosteroids at a dose of ≤30 mg/day prednisone or equivalent, stable for ≥2 weeks before screening (Visit 1)
You likely can't join if
- 1. Drug-induced SLE
- 2. 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
- 3. 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
- 4. Lupus nephritis that may require a change in immune-modulating treatment or which demonstrates serum creatinine that is unstable or >2 × ULN and/or UPCR that is unstable or > 3mg/mg (339 mg/mmol)
- 5. Oral corticosteroids (prednisone or equivalent) >30 mg/day at screening
- Further exclusion criteria apply.
