-To evaluate the ability of epratuzumab to reduce the use of corticosteroids and other lupus medications.
-To demonstrate the safety of epratuzumab in patients with SLE.
-To assess the effect of adding epratuzumab to standard care on the quality of life of patients with SLE.
Supplemental endpoints:
