Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if VENT-03 works to treat patients with cutaneous lupus erythematosus (CLE) who may or may not have systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Another goal is to learn about the safety of VENT-03 and how it is processed by the body. The main questions it aims to answer are:

* Does VENT-03 affect the activity and severity of CLE?
* What side effects do participants have when taking VENT-03?

Researchers will compare VENT-03 to a placebo (a look-alike substance that contains no drug) to see if VENT-03 works to treat patients with CLE.

Participants will:

* Take VENT-03 or a placebo for 4 weeks, then all participants will switch to VENT-03 for another 8 weeks;
* Visit the clinic once a month for checkups and tests.
