Inclusion Criteria

Adolescents ages 12 to <18 at the time of randomisation; younger cohort age 5 to < 12 at time of randomisation

International Society of Nephrology/Renal Pathology Society (ISN/RPS) 2003 Class III or IV active LN demonstrated on renal biopsy performed in the 12 months prior to or during screening

Positive current or historical test for antinuclear antibody (ANA) and/or antibodies to double-stranded DNA (dsDNA)

Class V disease may be present in addition to Class III or IV LN, but participants with isolated Class V disease are not eligible

Significant proteinuria defined by a urine protein-to-creatinine ratio (UPCR) above >0.5 g/g based on a first-morning void (FMV) collection at screening

During the 12 months prior to or during screening, all participants must have received at least one dose of pulse-range IV methylprednisolone (typically 30 mg/kg, maximum of 1000 mg per dose) or equivalent for the treatment of the current episode of active LN

Exclusion Criteria

Severe, active central nervous system (CNS) SLE, including retinitis, poorly controlled seizure disorder, acute confusional state, myelitis, stroke, cerebellar ataxia, or dementia

Severe renal impairment, as indicated by glomerular filtration rate (GFR) within the past 6 months <30 mL/min/1.73m^2 estimated using the modified Bedside Schwartz equation or as indicated by the need for renal transplant, plasmapheresis or dialysis at screening

Sclerosis in >50% of glomeruli on renal biopsy and purely chronic Class III(c) or Class IV(c) disease on renal biopsy

Active infection of any kind (excluding fungal infection of nail beds) or any major episode of infection requiring hospitalization or treatment with IV anti-infective medications within 4 weeks prior to screening, or completion of oral anti-infectives within 2 weeks prior to randomization

History of or current cancer, including solid tumors, hematological malignancies, and carcinoma in situ within the past 5 years

Significant or uncontrolled concomitant medical disease which, in the investigator’s opinion, would preclude participant participation
