A Study to Evaluate Efficacy and Safety of Deucravacitinib in Participants With Active Discoid and/or Subacute Cutaneous Lupus Erythematosus (DLE/SCLE)

Overview

About this study

The purpose of this study is to assess the safety, effectiveness, and tolerability of deucravacitinib (BMS-986165) compared with placebo in participants with active discoid and/or subacute cutaneous lupus erythematosus (DLE/SCLE), and to assess if deucravacitinib is biologically active and potentially effective in the treatment of participants with moderate to severe DLE/SCLE with or without systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) that is not well controlled with standard of care therapy.
