* BILAG-2004 disease activity level at screening of at least 1 of the following:

* BILAG-2004 level 'A' disease in = 1 organ system, Or
* BILAG-2004 level 'B' disease in = 2 organ systems
* Weigh at least 35 kg at screening

Key exclusion criteria
* Prior treatment with ianalumab
* History of receiving following treatment I) high dose CS, calcineurin inhibitors, JAK or other kinase inhibitors or other DMARD (except as listed in inclusion criteria) administered within 12 weeks prior to screening II) cyclophosphamide or biologics such as immunoglobulins (intravenous or s.c.), plasmapheresis, anti-type I interferon receptor biologic agents, anti-CD40 agents, CTLA4-Fc Ig or B-cell activating factor (BAFF)-targeting agents administered within 24 weeks prior to screening; belimumab administered within 12 weeks prior to screening. III) any B cell-depleting therapies, other than ianalumab administered within 36 weeks prior to randomization or as long as B cell count is less than the lower limit of normal or baseline value prior to receipt of B cell-depleting therapy (whichever is lower). IV) Traditional Chinese medicines administered within 30 days prior to randomization
* Active viral, bacterial or other infections requiring intravenous or intramuscular treatment for clinically significant infection
* Chronic infection with hepatitis B virus (HBV) or hepatitis C virus (HCV)
* Evidence of active tuberculosis infection
* History of primary or secondary immunodeficiency, including a positive human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) test result at screening
* Any one of the following abnormal laboratory values prior to randomization:

* Platelets < 25000/ mm^3 (< 25 x 10^3/ µL)
