Propensity score methodology was used to generate two groups of matched participants (n=179) from the ALMS (IVC and MMF) and AURA-LV/AURORA 1 (voclosporin) studies based on the following parameters: age, duration of lupus nephritis, duration of SLE, albumin, C3, C4, creatinine, anti-dsDNA, eGFR, UPCR, biopsy class, sex, and geographical region. Mean daily dose is the average daily dose of all participants with data available at the specified time point (3 or 6 months) including doses of 0 mg mg. Mean cumulative dose is an average of drug exposure for all participants in each arm regardless of overall treatment duration.

*

Only includes oral glucocorticoidGCs; doses of intravenous methylprednisolone included at the beginning of AURA-LV and AURORA-1 are not included.
