DISEASE, REMISSION
Primary end-points: (1) Assessment of the disease activity: no activity (SLEDAI < 4). (2) Assessment of the renal activity: Partial remission (PR) is defined as a reduction of proteinuria by at least 50% and to < 3 g/day or protein/creatinine ratio (PCR) (300 mg/mmol) and kidney function stabilization (10–15% of base line). Complete remission (CR) is defined as a reduction of proteinuria < 0.5 g/day or protein/creatinine ratio (PCR) (50 mg/mmol) and kidney function stabilization; no remission is failure to achieve a partial or complete response within 6–12 months of starting therapy [
