Percentage of Participants With Adverse Events (AEs)Baseline up to 8 weeks after the last dose of study drug (up to Week 56).An Adverse Event is any untoward medical occurrence in a participant administered a pharmaceutical product and which does not necessarily have to have a causal relationship with the treatment. An adverse event can therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding, for example), symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of a pharmaceutical product, whether or not considered related to the pharmaceutical product. Preexisting conditions which worsen during a study are also considered as adverse events.

SRI-4 Response at Week 48 With a Sustained Reduction of Oral Corticosteroids (OCS) Dose to Less Than (<)10 Milligrams Per Day (mg/Day) and Less Than or Equal to (</=) Day 1 Dose During Week 36 Through Week 48

The SRI-4 measures reduction in SLE disease activity and is a composite measure that includes the SLE Disease Activity Index (SLEDAI-2K), British Isles Lupus Activity Group (BILAG) 2004 and Physician Global Assessment. It is defined as: 1) Reduction of ≥4 points from baseline in Systemic Lupus Erythematosus Disease Activity Index 2000 (SLEDAI-2K) score; 2) no new British Isles Lupus Assessment Group (BILAG) A or no more than 1 new BILAG B disease activity scores and 3) no worsening (defined as an increase of ≥0.3 points \[10 mm\] from baseline) in the Physician's Global Assessment of Disease Activity. The score range is from 0 to 100, with higher scores indicating greater disease activity. OCS tapering requires a sustained reduction of OCS from Week 36 through Week 48 \[less than 10 milligram per day (mg/day) and less or equal to the dose received on Day 1\].

Time frame: Week 48

Population: The Intent-To-Treat (ITT) population was defined as all randomized participants regardless of whether they received any study drug.

SRI-4 Response With a Sustained Reduction of OCS Dose to ≤ 10 mg/Day and ≤ Day 1 Dose During Week 36 Through 48 in Patients With High vs. Low Plasmablast Signature Levels

The SRI-4 measures reduction in SLE disease activity and is a composite measure that includes the SLE Disease Activity Index (SLEDAI-2K), British Isles Lupus Activity Group (BILAG) 2004 and Physician Global Assessment. It is defined as: 1) Reduction of ≥4 points from baseline in Systemic Lupus Erythematosus Disease Activity Index 2000 (SLEDAI-2K) score; 2) no new British Isles Lupus Assessment Group (BILAG) A or no more than 1 new BILAG B disease activity scores and 3) no worsening (defined as an increase of ≥0.3 points \[10 mm\] from baseline) in the Physician's Global Assessment of Disease Activity. The score range is from 0 to 100, with higher scores indicating greater disease activity. The Plasmablast Signature (PB) is a Bruton's Tyrosine Kinase (BTK)-dependent blood RNA signature comprised of three genes (IgJ, MZB1 and TXNDC5). Q1/2/3/4 = Quartile 1/2/3/4.
