Eligibility Inclusion Criteria: - Participant has provided informed consent prior to initiation of any study specific activities/procedures. - Participant is aged between 18 and 75. - Fulfills classification criteria for systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) according to the 2019 European League Against Rheumatism (EULAR)/American College of Rheumatology (ACR) classification criteria for SLE with antinuclear antibody = 1:80 by immunofluorescence on Hep-2 cells being present at screening. - Hybrid SLEDAI score = 6 points with a "Clinical" hSLEDAI score = 4 points. The "Clinical" hSLEDAI is the hSLEDAI assessment score without the inclusion of points attributable to laboratory results, including urine or immunologic parameters. - British-Isles Lupus Assessment Group (BILAG) index score (BILAG 2004) of = 1 A item or = 2 B items. - Must be taking = 1 of the following SLE treatments (or regional equivalent): hydroxychloroquine, chloroquine, quinacrine, mycophenolate mofetil, azathioprine, methotrexate, dapsone, or oral calcineurin inhibitors, or OCS. A participant may enter the study on OCS alone (prednisone = 10 mg/day or equivalent) only if the participant has previously documented trial of anti-malarial or immunosuppressant treatment for SLE. Participants must be on a stable dose for = 8 weeks prior to screening for all antimalarials and immunosuppressants, with the exception of OCS doses which must be stable for = 2 weeks prior to screening. - For participants taking OCS, dose must be = 20 mg/day of prednisone or OCS equivalent, and the dose must be stable at baseline visit and for = 2 weeks prior to screening visit. - Stability of SLE treatments: OCS and other immunosuppressants/immunomodulator agents and doses must be stable since screening visit. - Disease activity: active disease as indicated by clinical hSLEDAI score = 4 must be observed (clinical hSLEDAI score is the hSLEDAI assessment score without the inclusion of points attributable to laboratory results including urine and immunologic parameters).
