Procedure for enrolling a subject and allocating the treatment (allocation concealment procedures)
Subjects who complete the Phase 3, double-blind, placebo-controlled study, SL0009, or terminate prematurely (at Week 16 or later) due to lack of efficacy, are eligible to enroll in this open-label extension study.

To enroll a subject (Visit 1), the investigator will call the IVRS and provide brief details about the subject to be enrolled. Each subject will keep the subject number assigned at Screening in SL0009, which serves as the subject identifier throughout SL0012. All subjects will receive epratuzumab 600mg infusions delivered QW for a total of 4 consecutive weeks (CMD 2400mg) repeated every 12 weeks.
Methods used to generate the sequence in which subjects will be randomised (sequence generation)
This study is open label and all subjects receive the same treatment. The interactive voice response system (IVRS) is responsible for issuing subject kits of epratuzumab, as appropriate, according to the visit schedule.
