Adults 18 years of age or older with a histologically confirmed diagnosis of cutaneous lupus erythematosus (CLE) with or without systemic manifestations, may qualify to participate in this research trial. Individuals must have a disease activity (CLASI-A) score ≥ 10, representing at least moderate disease severity.
Eligible participants must also have an active CLE lesion despite an adequate trial of antimalarial treatment; one of the following 2 conditions should be met:
a. antimalarial agents used for at least 12 weeks (either continuous or cumulative) prior to Screening OR
b. previously documented discontinuation of antimalarial agents due to poor tolerability and/or side effects, and/or lack of therapeutic effect for at least 12 weeks of treatment (and not continuous is acceptable)
Participants will receive investigational treatment (active study drug) or placebo, via subcutaneous injection. During the Extension Treatment Period (ETP), all participants will receive active study drug. Study treatment and study-related assessments will be provided at no cost. Reimbursement for study-related expenses may be provided.
Study participation will last about 80 weeks and involve about 21 visits to the study research site (plus 2 visits which will occur by phone).

Brief Summary:
The primary objectives of the study are to evaluate the efficacy of BIIB059 (litifilimab) compared with placebo in reducing skin disease activity measured by the Cutaneous Lupus Activity of Physician's Global Assessment-Revised (CLA-IGA-R) score [Parts A and B (US)] and the Cutaneous Lupus Erythematosus Disease Area and Severity Index Activity (CLASI-A) score [Part B (ROW)] in participants with active SCLE and/or CCLE with or without systemic manifestations and refractory and/or intolerant to antimalarials. The secondary objectives of the study are to evaluate the efficacy of BIIB059 in reducing SCLE and/or CCLE disease activity by CLA-IGA-R, CLASI-A; to evaluate additional efficacy parameters of BIIB059 in reducing SCLE and/or CCLE disease activity; safety; tolerability; and immunogenicity of BIIB059 [Parts A and B].
