A Study of the Safety of Oral Elsubrutinib Capsules and Oral Upadacitinib Tablets Given Alone or in Combination (ABBV-599) for Adult Participants With Moderately to Severely Active Systemic Lupus Erythematosus to Assess Change in Disease State

Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) is an immune-mediated disease associated with inflammation of multiple organ systems. This study will evaluate how well elsubrutinib and upadacitinib given alone or as the ABBV-599 combination (elsubrutinib/upadacitinib) works within the body, in participants who completed study M19-130. This study will assess the change in disease symptoms.

ABBV-599 is an investigational drug being developed for the treatment of Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE). This study is "double-blinded", which means that neither the trial participants nor the study doctors will know who will be given which study drug. Study doctors put the participants into 1 of 4 groups called treatment arms. Each group receives a different treatment. Adult participants with a diagnosis of SLE will be enrolled. Around 260 participants will be enrolled in the study in approximately 100 sites worldwide.

Participants will receive the following for up to 56 weeks:

Participants will receive oral elsubrutinib capsules and/or oral upadacitinib tablets once daily for up to 56 weeks. Participants who were receiving elsubrutinib and/or upadacitnib in M19-130 will continue to receive the same treatment in this study. Participants who were receiving placebo in M19-130 will be re-randomized to one of the 2 combination treatment arms in this study.

Arm 1: Elsubrutinib Dose A and Upadacitinib Dose A Arm 2: Elsubrutinib Dose A and Upadacitinib Dose B

There may be higher burden for participants in this trial compared to their standard of care. Participants will attend monthly visits during the course of the study at a hospital or clinic. The effect of the treatment will be checked by medical assessments, blood tests, checking for side effects and completing questionnaires.

Primary outcomes

  1. Number of Participants With Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events

    Time frame: From the first dose of study drug in Study M20-186 up to 30 days after the last dose of study drug, up to 442 days

    An adverse event (AE) is defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a patient or clinical investigation participant administered a pharmaceutical product and which does not necessarily have a causal relationship with this treatment. A serious adverse event (SAE) is an event that results in death, is life-threatening, requires or prolongs hospitalization, results in a congenital anomaly, persistent or significant disability/incapacity or is an important medical event that, based on medical judgment, may jeopardize the participant and may require medical or surgical intervention to prevent any of the outcomes listed above. Treatment-emergent events (TEAEs) are defined as an adverse event with an onset date that is on or after the first dose of study drug from Study M20-186, and no more than 30 days after the last dose of study drug from Study M20-186. For more details on adverse events please see the Adverse Event section.

Secondary outcomes

  1. Percentage of Participants Achieving Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) Responder Index (SRI)-4

    Time frame: Baseline of Study M19-130 (Week 0), Weeks 56, 64, 72, 80, 88, 96, 104

    SLE Responder Index (SRI)-4 is defined as follows with all criteria compared to Baseline in Study M19-130:

    • ≥4-point reduction in Systemic Lupus Erythematosus Disease Activity Index 2000 (SLEDAI-2K) score
    • No worsening of the overall condition (< 0.3 point increase in Physician's Global Assessment [PhGA])
    • No new British Isles Lupus Assessment Group (BILAG) A or more than 1 new BILAG B disease activity scores (i.e., no organ system changes from baseline B/C/D/E to A and no more than 1 organ system changes from baseline C/D/E to B). A letter score is assigned to each organ system with following indications: A = severe, B = moderate, C = mild, D = inactive with prior history, and E = inactive with no history.
  2. Percentage of Participants Achieving British Isles Lupus Assessment Group (BILAG)-Based Combined Lupus Assessment (BICLA) Response

    Time frame: Baseline of Study M19-130 (Week 0), Weeks 56, 64, 72, 80, 88, 96, 104

    BICLA is a composite responder index. Achievement of BICLA response is defined as improvement in all initial A and B BILAG scores, with no more than one new BILAG B score without worsening of the overall condition (no worsening in Physician's Global Assessment [PhGA], < 0.3 point increase) and no worsening of the Systemic Lupus Erythematosus Disease Activity Index 2000 (SLEDAI-2K) score.

  3. Change From Baseline in Daily Prednisone Dose Over Time

    Time frame: Baseline of M19-130 (Week 0), Weeks 56, 64, 72, 80, 88, 96, 104

    Participants'current use of steroid therapy was assessed at each study visit, and the amount of daily prednisone was documented.

  4. Number of Flares Per Patient-year by Safety of Estrogens in Lupus Erythematosus National Assessment (SELENA) SLE Disease Activity Index (SLEDAI) Flare Index Through Week 104

    Time frame: From Week 56 through Week 104

    The SELENA SLEDAI flare index defines mild/moderate or severe SLE flares using the SLEDAI score, definitions of worsening signs and symptoms, treatment changes, and Physician's Global Assessment of Disease Activity.
