Study Description

The purpose of this study is to evaluate long-term safety and tolerability of ianalumab in participants with systemic lupus erythematosus who have previously completed the treatment period in one of the two SIRIUS-SLE core studies (CVAY736F12301 or CVAY736F12302). The purpose of this extension study is to evaluate long-term safety and tolerability of ianalumab administered s.c. monthly or quarterly, compared to monthly placebo, in adolescent and adult participants with anti-nuclear antibody (ANA)-positive systemic lupus erythematosus of moderate-to-severe disease activity, who have completed either CVAY736F12301 (SIRIUS-SLE 1) or CVAY736F12302 (SIRIUS-SLE 2) core studies.

Key Inclusion Criteria:

* Signed informed consent prior to participation in the extension study. Parent or legal guardian's signed informed consent and child's assent, if appropriate, are required before any assessment is performed for participants \<18 years of age.

* In the judgement of the investigator, participants must be expected to clinically benefit from continued study treatment.

Key Exclusion Criteria:

* Use of prohibited therapies.
* Active viral, bacterial or other infections requiring intravenous or intramuscular treatment for clinically significant infection which in the opinion of the investigator will place the participant at risk for participation.
* Plans for administration of live vaccines during the study period.
* Pregnant or nursing (lactating) women.
* Women of child-bearing potential, defined as all women physiologically capable of becoming pregnant, refusing or unable to use highly effective methods of contraception while on study treatment and for 6 months after stopping of study drug (or longer if required by concomitant medications).
