Eligibility criteria

Key Inclusion Criteria:

  • Either fulfill the European League Against Rheumatism (EULAR)/ American College of Rheumatology(ACR) 2019 classification criteria for systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) or have biopsy-proven cutaneous lupus erythematosus (CLE).
  • Must have active acute cutaneous lupus erythematosus (ACLE)/ subacute cutaneous lupus erythematosus (SCLE); individuals with mixed skin presentations of lupus skin disease (including DLE) are allowed to enter.
  • CLE Disease Area and Severity Index (CLASI) activity score of ≥ 6 during screening and Day 1, excluding the alopecia component.
  • Presence of at least 1 representative lupus skin lesion amenable to punch biopsy and willingness to undergo skin biopsy at 2 time points.
  • Protocol-permitted nonbiologic immunosuppressive/immunomodulatory agents for the treatment of CLE/SLE (eg, antimalarials, methotrexate (MTX), or other conventional synthetic disease-modifying antirheumatic drug (csDMARDs)) must maintain stable dose(s) for ≥ 60 days prior to randomization through Week 4 of the study.

Key Exclusion Criteria:

  • Dermatologic disease other than cutaneous manifestations of SLE or CLE that may interfere with assessment of lupus-specific skin lesions.
  • Ongoing or active clinically significant bacterial, fungal or viral infection.
  • History of or positive for human immunodeficiency virus, hepatitis C virus, or hepatitis B virus.
  • Uncontrolled health conditions including highly active SLE (e.g. lupus nephritis, neuropsychiatric SLE, vasculitis etc.).
  • History of malignancy.

Note: Other protocol defined Inclusion/Exclusion criteria may apply.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Percentage of Participants Who Experienced Treatment-emergent Adverse Events

    Treatment-emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs) were defined as AEs with onset dates on or after the study treatment start date and no later than 28 days after the permanent discontinuation of the study treatment and/or the AEs that led to premature discontinuation of study treatments.

    Time frame: First dose date up to 4 weeks plus 28 days

  2. Percentage of Participants Who Experienced Treatment-emergent Laboratory Abnormalities

    A treatment-emergent laboratory abnormality was defined as an increase of at least 1 abnormality grade from baseline and occurring after the first dose of study drug and within 28 days after last study drug administration.

    Time frame: First dose date up to 4 weeks plus 28 days

Secondary outcomes

  1. Pharmacokinetic (PK) Parameter: AUCtau of Edecesertib

    AUCtau is defined as the area under the concentration versus time curve over the dosing interval.

    Time frame: Predose and up to 6 hours postdose at Week 4

  2. Pharmacokinetic (PK) Parameter: Cmax of Edecesertib

    Cmax is defined as the maximum observed concentration of drug.

    Time frame: Predose and up to 6 hours postdose at Week 4
