- Participant has a modified Systemic Lupus Erythematosus Disease Activity Index-2000 (SLEDAI-2K) score ≥ 6 (excluding alopecia, fever, lupus-related headache, and organic brain syndrome) at screening (adjudicated).
- Participant has a modified clinical SLEDAI-2K score ≥ 4 (excluding anti-dsDNA, low complement component 3 (C3) and/or complement component 4 (C4), alopecia, fever, lupus-related headache, and organic brain syndrome) at Screening (adjudicated) and randomization.
- Participant has BILAG-2004 grade A in ≥ 1 organ system or BILAG-2004 grade B in ≥ 2 organ systems at Screening (adjudicated) and randomization.
- Participant must be treated with one of the following background nonbiologic lupus SOC therapies, initiated ≥ 12 weeks prior to Screening and at stable dose ≥ 4 weeks prior to randomization:
- Antimalarials as stand-alone treatment
- Antimalarial treatment in combination with OCS and/or a single immunosuppressant
- Treatment with OCS and/or a single immunosuppressant
- Key
Exclusion
- History of or positive test result for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV).
- Current hepatitis C infection (defined as positive hepatitis C virus (HCV) antibody and detectable HCV ribonucleic acid \[RNA\]).

- History of severe herpes infection.
- Presence of uncontrolled or New York Heart Association class III or IV congestive heart failure.

- Any active skin conditions other than cutaneous lupus erythematosus (CLE) that may interfere with the study assessment of CLE such as but not limited to psoriasis, dermatomyositis, systemic sclerosis, non-LE skin lupus manifestation or drug-induced lupus.
- History or current diagnosis of a clinically significant non-SLE-related vasculitis syndrome.
- Active neuropsychiatric SLE.
