5. Diagnosis of fibromyalgia
6. Any of the following clinical laboratory abnormalities:
* Hemoglobin \<8.0 mg/dL
* Platelet count \<50,000/mm3
* White blood count (WBC) ≤ 2000/mm3; may be 1999-1000/mm3 if stable and related to SLE
* Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) ≤1000/mm3; may be 500-999/mm3 if stable and related to SLE
* Aspartate transaminase (AST) or alanine transaminase (ALT) ≥3× upper limit of normal (ULN) unless related to SLE
7. Grade 3 or greater laboratory abnormality based on the National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE; Appendix 3) except for the following that are allowed:
* Activated partial thromboplastin time (PTT) \> \>2.5× ULN due to lupus anticoagulant and not related to liver disease or anti-coagulant therapy
* Hypoalbuminemia \<2 g/dL due to chronic lupus nephritis, and not related to liver disease
* Gamma glutamyl transferase (GGT) \<20× ULN due to lupus hepatitis, and not related to alcoholic liver disease, uncontrolled diabetes, or viral hepatitis. If present, any abnormalities in the ALT and/or AST must be ≤5× ULN
8. Pregnant or nursing, or females not using effective contraception
9. Current drug or alcohol abuse or dependence, or a history of drug or alcohol abuse or dependence within 1 year prior to Screening
10. Clinical evidence of significant unstable or uncontrolled acute or chronic diseases not caused by SLE (e.g., diabetes, cardiovascular, pulmonary, hematologic, gastrointestinal, neurological, or infectious) which, in the opinion of the Investigator, could confound the results of the study or put the subject at undue risk
