* Lupus Nephritis Class III or IV (International Society of Nephrology (ISN)/Renal Pathology Society (RPS) -2003 classification) with either active or active/chronic disease, co-existing class V permitted, proven by renal biopsy within 3 months prior to screening or during screening if induction therapy has not yet been started
* Active renal disease evidenced by proteinuria = 1.0 g/day [(Uprot/Ucrea) = 1]
* Signed and dated written informed consent
Minimum age
18 Years
Maximum age
70 Years
