• Sex: All
• Target Recruitment: 60

Inclusion Criteria

• Having a diagnosis of Discoid Lupus Erythematosus (DLE), Subacute Cutaneous Lupus Erythematosus (SCLE), or Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE).
• Participants with DLE or SCLE must have their diagnosis at least 3 months prior to screening and must be confirmed by biopsy (except if only the facial/head/neck region is affected) and must have some ongoing disease activity (based CLASI-A scoring).
• Participants with SLE must have a diagnosis of SLE at screening based on the 2019 EULAR/ACR Classification for SLE and have mild-moderate disease severity (based on a SLEDAI-2K score).

Exclusion criteria:

• SLE that is considered by the Investigator to be severe.
• Drug-induced CLE and drug-induced SLE.
• Women who are pregnant or breastfeeding.
• Current use of >10 mg prednisone (or equivalent) per day.

Note: Other protocol-defined inclusion/exclusion criteria apply.
