Brief summary: The purpose of this study is to evaluate the clinical efficacy of blisibimod as measured by a composite responder index in subjects who, despite corticosteroid use, continue to have autoantibody positive, clinically-active Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) as defined by SELENA SLEDAI score ≥10.


Eligibility criteria: Inclusion Criteria:

* Fulfill at least 4 diagnostic criteria for SLE defined by American College of Rheumatology
* Positive antinuclear antibodies (ANA) and/or anti-double stranded DNA (anti-dsDNA)
* Active SLE disease as defined by SELENA-SLEDAI score ≥10 despite on-going stable corticosteroid therapy
* Subjects with stable nephritis may be enrolled
* 18 years of age or older

Exclusion Criteria:

* Severe active vasculitis, active central nervous system lupus, uncontrolled hypertension or poorly controlled diabetes
* Malignancy within past 5 years
* Known to be positive for HIV and/or positive at the screening visit for hepatitis B, or hepatitis C
* Liver disease
* Anemia, neutropenia, or thrombocytopenia
* Active infection requiring hospitalization or treatment with parenteral antibiotics within the past 60 days or history of repeated herpetic viral infections
* History of active tuberculosis or a history of tuberculosis infection
* Pregnant or nursing

timeFrame: Through week 52
measure: Change from baseline in B cell subsets, anti-dsDNA, C3, C4
timeFrame: Through week 52
measure: Safety profile (AEs, vital signs, labs, physical exams)
timeFrame: Through week 52
Other outcomes:
measure: Subgroup analyses of blisibimod effect in subjects with renal manifestations at baseline
timeFrame: 52 Weeks
