About
The goal of this clinical trial is to see how well cenerimod reduces symptoms of Systemic Lupus Erythematous in adult patients with moderate to severe symptoms. The main questions it aims to answer are:
Researchers will compare one dose of cenerimod and a placebo to see how well cenerimod works when it is added to the treatment already being administered.
In this research study approximately 210 participants will receive cenerimod and approximately 210 participants will receive placebo for 12 months.

Treatment with antimalarials, mycophenolate mofetil, mycophenolic acid, azathioprine, methotrexate or belimumab must have been started at least 90 days prior to Screening. Treatment with OCS must have been started at least 30 days prior to Screening.
• For women of childbearing potential (WoCBP):
Inclusion criteria at randomization:
A clinical mSLEDAI-2K score ≥ 4 with at least 2 points for musculoskeletal or mucocutaneous manifestations (i.e., myositis, arthritis, rash, alopecia, mucosal ulcers).
BILAG Grade B in 2 or more organ systems or a BILAG Grade A in 1 or more organ system.
PGA score ≥ 1.0 on a 0 to 3 visual analog scale.
Presence of at least one of the following biomarkers of serological evidence of active SLE (in a Screening sample as measured by central laboratory):
Currently treated with one or more of the following SLE background medications that must be stable for at least 30 days prior to Randomization (except OCS, which must be stable for at least 15 days prior to Randomization):
Antimalarials (≤ 400 mg/day hydroxychloroquine, ≤ 500 mg/day chloroquine, ≤ 100 mg/day quinacrine);
Mycophenolate mofetil (≤ 2 g/day) / mycophenolic acid (≤ 1.44g/day);
Azathioprine (≤ 2 mg/kg/day);
Methotrexate (≤ 25 mg/week);
OCS:
Belimumab (≤ 10 mg/kg every 4 weeks i.v. or ≤ 200 mg/week s.c.).
WoCBP must have a negative urine pregnancy test at Randomization.
