Adults aged 18 to 75 with a diagnosis of active discoid and/or subacute cutaneous lupus erythematosus (DLE/SCLE) for at least 3 months, may qualify to participate. Individuals must have active moderate to severe cutaneous lupus to be eligible for study entry. They must also currently be receiving treatment with a stable regimen of at least one of the following medications: an oral corticosteroid, and/or an antimalarial, and/or an immunosuppressant.
Participants will receive one of two dosages of investigational oral medication (active study drug) or placebo for 16 weeks. At Week 16, participants who previously received placebo will then receive one of two dosages of active study drug. Study medication and study-related procedures will be provided at no cost. Reimbursement for study-related expenses will also be provided.
Study participation will last about 60 weeks and involve about 12 visits to the study centre.

The purpose of this study is to assess the safety, efficacy, and tolerability of deucravacitinib (BMS-986165) compared with placebo in participants with active discoid and/or subacute cutaneous lupus erythematosus (DLE/SCLE). This study will also 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.
