  • ENA, extractable nuclear antigen; ISM, interferon signature metric; IU, international unit.

  • *Positive for two or more autoantigen reactivities of the following: SM+, RNP+, SSA+, SSB+.

  • †For Phase I, BAFF data are available for n=28 patients (14 ISM-Low, 14 ISM-High).

  • ‡p Value represents ISM-Low versus ISM-High.
