Pharmacokinetics Study of Epratuzumab in Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE)
Pharmacokinetics Study of Epratuzumab in Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE)
The goal of this study is to evaluate how epratuzumab is processed by the body
 (pharmacokinetics) and whether 2 dose levels of epratuzumab are safe and effective in
 patients with SLE.
This study is planned to provide information on how the body processes epratuzumab and how
 epratuzumab affects the body when epratuzumab is given once weekly for 4 weeks in a row at
 one of 2 different dose levels. Additional information will be obtained related to the
 natural variability of disease activity in SLE patients.
