* 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:

1. Antimalarials as stand-alone treatment
2. Antimalarial treatment in combination with OCS and/or a single immunosuppressant

Key exclusion criteria
* 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]).
* Current hepatitis B infection (defined as positive for antibody to hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) and/or positive for total hepatitis antibody to B core antigen [anti-HBc] with positive reflex HBV DNA).
* History of severe herpes infection.
* Presence of uncontrolled or New York Heart Association class III or IV congestive heart failure.
* Active severe lupus nephritis where, in the opinion of the Investigator, protocol-specified SOC is insufficient and use of a more aggressive therapeutic approach is indicated, such as adding IV cyclophosphamide and/or high-dose IV pulse corticosteroid therapy or other treatments not permitted in the protocol is indicated; or urine protein-creatinine ratio > 2.0 or severe chronic kidney disease (estimated glomerular filtration rate < 30 milliliters per minute per 1.73 meter square [mL/min/1.73 m^2]) calculated using the abbreviated modification of diet in renal disease equation.
* 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.
* Use of oral prednisone (or equivalent) above 20 mg/day.
