index = 6 at baseline,

- Inefficacy or adverse effects necessitating discontinuation of first and second line
therapies of SLE including:

a. Prednisone orally = 6 mg / day (or equivalent) for at least 28 days. b. At least
one or more of the following immunosuppressive therapies for 3 months in total: i-

orally or parenterally, at doses > 20mg / week for at least 90 days; v- Leflunomide
orally, at a dose of> 10-mg / day for at least 90 days; vi- Rituximab (anti-CD20)
intravenous bolus 375 mg / m2, once a week for four weeks or total dose of 1 g twice a
day for two weeks vii- Cyclosporine orally, at a dose of 2.5-5 mg / kg / day, for at
least 90 days; viii- Belimumab intravenously at monthly bolus of 10 mg / kg infusion),
for at least 3 months.

- Patient who received treatment of SLE at stable doses for a minimum of 30 days prior
to eligibility, including one of the following treatments: prednisone (or equivalent)
alone or combined with antimalarial treatment, an anti-inflammatory steroidal and / or
