Primary Outcome Measures:

At Wk52, the percent of subjects with ≥ 4 point reduction from baseline in SELENA SLEDAI score and no worsening in PGA and no new BILAG A organ domain score or 2 new BILAG B organ domain scores compared with baseline at the time of assessment. [ Time Frame: 52 weeks ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]

Secondary Outcome Measures:

Percent of subjects with 4 points reduction from baseline in SELENA SLEDAI score at Wk 52. [ Time Frame: 52 weeks ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
Mean change in PGA at Wk 24. [ Time Frame: 24 weeks ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
Mean change in SF-36 Health Survey physical component summary score (PCS) at Wk 24. [ Time Frame: 24 weeks ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
Percent of subjects whose average prednisone dose has been reduced by ≥ 25% from baseline to ≤ 7.5 mg/day during Weeks 40 through 52 [ Time Frame: Weeks 40 through 52 ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
