- •Participants with active Acute Cutaneous Lupus Erythematosus (ACLE) as sole cutaneous manifestations is allowed in the presence of SLE and should be present for at least 6 weeks prior to the Screening visit.
- •Participants with diagnosis of SLE fulfilling the European Alliance of Associations for Rheumatology (EULAR)/American College of Rheumatology (ACR) 2019 classification criteria, must have active DLE and/or SCLE and/or ACLE.

- •Participants with CLASI-A score \>= 8 at Screening and Day 1 visits.
- •Other protocol-defined inclusion criteria may apply.
Exclusion Criteria
- •Participants with primary diagnosis of autoimmune rheumatic disease (e.g., systemic sclerosis, rheumatoid arthritis) other than Cutaneous Lupus Erythematosus (CLE) and SLE.
- •Participants with any condition including dermatological diseases other than cutaneous manifestations of lupus (e.g. psoriasis), any uncontrolled disease (e.g. asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, interstitial lung disease, bronchiectasis, pulmonary arterial hypertension), or life-threatening manifestations of lupus (e.g. active systemic vasculitis) that in Investigator's or Sponsor/designee's opinion constitutes inappropriate risk or contraindication for participation.
- •Participants with drug-induced lupus (SLE or CLE).
- •Participants with active lupus nephritis on induction therapy, or induction therapy completed within 3 months of the Screening visit (stable maintenance therapy with either mycophenolate azathioprine or an oral calcineurin inhibitor is allowed).
