  • *P values from univariate analysis and applied Wilcoxon rank-sum test to evaluate statistically significant differences between groups.

  • †1.0 reflects 100% median of 100% of follow-up time of 1 or more years.

  • CS, corticosteroid; LLDAS, lupus low disease activity state; low-CS, limited corticosteroid use; SDI, Systemic Lupus International Collaborating Clinics/American College of Rheumatology Damage Index; SLEDAI-LD, SLEDAI score of <4; T2T, treat-to-target.
