Summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate how well nipocalimab works as compared to placebo in participants with moderate to severe Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE, a long-term disease where the immune system mistakenly attacks its own healthy tissues, causing swelling and redness in various organs).
