Indications and Usage 13 BENLYSTA (belimumab) 10 mg/kg is indicated for the treatment of adult patients with active, autoantibody^positive, systemic lupus erythematosus who are receiving standard therapy. Limitations of Use: The efficacy of BENLYSTA has not been evaluated in patients with severe active lupus nephritis or severe active central nervous system lupus. BENLYSTA has not been studied in combination with other biologics or intravenous cyclophosphamide. Use of BENLYSTA is not recommended in these situations. Safety: See package insert and medication guide at www.BENLYSTA.com for important safety information Limitations of Use: The efficacy of BENLYSTA has not been evaluated in patients with severe active lupus nephritis or severe active central nervous system lupus. BENLYSTA has not been studied in combination with other biologics or intravenous cyclophosphamide. Use of BENLYSTA is not recommended in these situations.

Labeled Indication treatment of sle Auto-antibody positive 72% in Phase 2 trial at baseline 100% in medical history Severe active lupus nephritis, severe active CNS lupus Acute manifestations Often requires cyclophosphamide As acute manifestations are treated, many patients continue with chronic active disease Combination with biologics or IV cyclophosphamide 14

Effect on concomitant steroid treatment In BLISS-76 and BLISS-52, 46% and 69% of patients, respectively, were receiving prednisone at doses >7.5 mg/day at baseline. The proportion of patients able to reduce their average prednisone dose by at least 25% to ^7.5 mg/day during Weeks 40 through 52 was not consistently significantly different for BENLYSTA relative to placebo in both trials. In BLISS-76, 17% of patients receiving BENLYSTA 10 mg/kg and 19% of patients receiving BENLYSTA 1 mg/kg achieved this level of steroid reduction compared with 13% of patients receiving placebo. In BLISS-52, 19%, 21%, and 12% of patients receiving BENLYSTA 10 mg/kg, BENLYSTA 1 mg/kg, and placebo, respectively, achieved this level of steroid reduction.

Benlysta labeling aligns with study design and clinical data Important clinical endpoints Effect on severe SLE flares The probability of experiencing a severe SLE flare, as defined by a modification of the SELENA-Trial flare criteria which excluded severe flares triggered only by an increase of the SELENA-SLEDAI score to >12, was calculated for both BLISS-76 and BLISS-52. The proportion of patients having at least 1 severe flare over 52 weeks was not consistently significantly different for BENLYSTA relative to placebo in both trials. In BLISS-76, 18% of patients receiving BENLYSTA 10 mg/kg and 16% of patients receiving BENLYSTA 1 mg/kg had a severe flare compared with 24% of patients receiving placebo. In BLISS-52, 14%, 18%, and 23% of patients receiving BENLYSTA 10 mg/kg, BENLYSTA 1 mg/kg and placebo, respectively, had a severe flare. 17 Effect on severe SLE flares The probability of experiencing a severe SLE flare, as defined by a modification of the SELENA-Trial flare criteria which excluded severe flares triggered only by an increase of the SELENA-SLEDAI score to >12, was calculated for both BLISS-76 and BLISS-52.
