The purpose of this study is to allow the continued administration of Deucravacitinib in participants with Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) or Discoid and/or Subacute Cutaneous Lupus Erythematosus (DLE/SCLE) who have completed study IM011074 or Study IM011132
Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE), Discoid and/or Subacute Cutaneous Lupus Erythematosus (DLE/SCLE)
The investigators hypothesize that topical application of Tapinarof, an FDA-approved topical Aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AHR) agonist for the treatment of plaque psoriasis, would inhibit lupus-causing T cells and lead to improvement of cutaneous lupus lesions. To test this hypothesis, the investigators will perform a prospective, interventional clinical trial in patients with chronic and/or subacute cutaneous lupus. This trial will include outcomes analyzing the change in cutaneous lupus lesions using standardized assessments, but also analyze pre- and post-treatment skin and blood immune parameters to elucidate the immune effects and changes in lupus as a result of topical AHR agonist application. The goals are to 1) identify if topical AHR agonism leads to improvement in cutaneous lupus, and 2) examine the immunopathology of cutaneous lupus and its alteration with topical AHR agonist treatment.
Cutaneous Lupus Erythematosus
In this study, researchers will learn more about a study drug called litifilimab (BIIB059) in participants with cutaneous lupus erythematosus (CLE). The study will focus on participants who have either active subacute CLE or chronic CLE, or both. They may also have systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). The participants did not respond to antimalarial therapy or had problems with the treatment that made it hard to continue. The study will enroll only those participants who have completed treatment with litifilimab in the parent study, 230LE301. The main objective of the study is learning more about the long-term safety of litifilimab. The main question researchers want to answer is: - How many participants have adverse events and serious adverse events after taking litifilimab? Adverse events are unwanted medical problems that may or may not be caused by the study drug. Researchers will also learn more about the effect of litifilimab on CLE. They will do this by measuring the symptoms of CLE over time using a variety of scoring tools. These include the Cutaneous Lupus Erythematosus Disease Area and Severity Index (CLASI), the Cutaneous Lupus Activity of Investigator's Global Assessment-Revised (CLA-IGA-R), and the SELENA-SLEDAI Flare Index (SFI). Researchers will assess the effect litifilimab and CLE has on the quality of life of participants using a group of questionnaires. They will also study how litifilimab affects laboratory tests and how participants' immune systems respond to litifilimab. The study will be done as follows: * The last visit of parent study 230LE301 will be the first visit of study 230LE305. * All participants will receive litifilimab as an injection under the skin once every 4 weeks. Both researchers and participants will know the dose and identity of the study drug. * The treatment period will last up to 104 weeks, or 2 years. * There will be a follow-up safety period that lasts up to 24 weeks. * In total, participants will have up to 33 study visits. * The total study duration for participants will be up to 128 weeks.

Cutaneous Lupus Erythematosus (CLE)
In this study, researchers will learn more about a study drug called litifilimab (BIIB059) in participants with cutaneous lupus erythematosus (CLE). The study will focus on participants who have either active subacute CLE or chronic CLE, or both. They may also have systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). The participants did not respond to antimalarial therapy or had problems with the treatment that made it hard to continue. The main objective of the study is to learn about the effect litifilimab has on lowering the activity of the skin disease. Researchers will measure symptoms of CLE over time using a variety of scoring tools. These include the Cutaneous Lupus Erythematosus Disease Area and Severity Index (CLASI), the Cutaneous Lupus Activity of Investigator's Global Assessment-Revised (CLA-IGA-R), and the SELENA-SLEDAI Flare Index (SFI). The main questions researchers want to answer are: * How many participants have a score of 0 or 1 on the CLA-IGA-R looking at skin redness after treatment? * How many participants have their skin disease activity go down by at least 70%? Researchers will also learn more about the safety of litifilimab. They will study how participants' immune systems respond to litifilimab. Additionally, they will measure the effect litifilimab and CLE have on the quality of life of participants using a group of questionnaires. The study will be split into 2 parts - Part A and Part B. Both parts will be done as follows: * After screening, participants will be randomized to receive either litifilimab or placebo for the 1st treatment period. A placebo looks like the study drug but contains no real medicine. * Participants will receive either litifilimab or placebo as injections under the skin once every 4 weeks. * The 1st treatment period will be double blinded which means neither the researchers nor the participants will know if the participants are receiving litifilimab or placebo. * This double blinded treatment period will last 24 weeks, after which the 2nd treatment period will begin. * During the 2nd treatment period, all participants will receive litifilimab for 28 weeks. * After completing treatment in this study, participants that qualify will be given the choice to join the Long-Term Extension study, 230LE305. If they do not, they will move into a follow-up safety period that will last up to 24 weeks. * The total study duration for participants will be up to 80 weeks

Cutaneous Lupus Erythematosus
Studies have shown that there are significant differences in severity and outcome of lupus in patients of colored skin compared with Caucasians. There are many factors that lead to this discrepancy: genetics, poverty, education level, as well as behavioral and cultural factors. Cutaneous Lupus Erythematosus (CLE) is a disease of flares and remissions with identifiable triggers. One of the most aggravating triggers in CLE is sun exposure. The investigators hypothesize that there are disparities in knowledge about photoprotection, leading to poorer outcomes in minority ethnic groups. This study aims to assess knowledge of risk factors and triggers, especially sun exposure, and the effects on quality of life of Caucasian and minority populations, by conducting an assessment survey and subsequent teaching intervention on appropriate skin protection techniques including appropriate sun screen application, and use of sun-protective clothing. After three months a survey to evaluate knowledge retention about and the application of the educational intervention will be conducted.

Cutaneous Lupus Erythematosus (CLE)
The purpose of using the 595 nm Vbeam Perfecta™ flashlamp-excited, pulsed dye laser in this study is to help improve study patients' skin disease. Cutaneous lupus erythematosus (CLE) often presents with disfiguring vascular lesions which are frequently difficult to treat with the available therapeutic measures, such as photoprotection, topical steroids, and antimalarials. Laser therapy provides an alternative treatment option for CLE patients. Although there has been documented experience with laser treatment in CLE patients, no study comparing treated lesions to the natural course of the disease has been conducted.

The investigators are conducting an open-label clinical trial determining the effects of UVA1 phototherapy on cutaneous lupus (CLE) patients. Past research on systemic lupus (SLE) subjects indicates that this treatment is likely to be effective in treating cutaneous lupus with few side effects. The fact that most CLE patients are seen at dermatology clinics also increases the usefulness of this study because there is a large probability that phototherapy treatment will be accessible for many of the patients that stand to benefit from it.
Cutaneous Lupus Erythematosus
Lupus is a disease in which the immune system, which normally fights infection, begins to attack healthy cells in the body. This phenomenon is called autoimmunity and what the immune system attacks is called the autoantigen. Lupus can affect many parts of the body and often affects the skin, with immune cells attacking autoantigens in the skin and causing a rash. This rash is often visible to the public because it tends to occur on sun-exposed areas, for example a patient's face, chest, and arms. For this reason, among others, skin lupus can be a source of disability and poor health related quality of life in many patients with this disease. It is not completely understood why or how someone might develop lupus, however there are likely many reasons which include their genetics and also the kind of environment they live in. One such environmental factor, vitamin D, is more commonly known as a vitamin important for bone health. However, we are learning that vitamin D has effects all over the body, and is also important for a healthy immune system. Low levels of vitamin D have been associated with an increased risk of other autoimmune disorders such as diabetes and multiple sclerosis, and have also been found to be common in skin lupus patients. Vitamin D is made in the skin when it is exposed to the sun, specifically ultraviolet B radiation (UVB). The main source of vitamin D for most people is its production in the skin because the normal American diet is not high in vitamin D. However, patients with skin lupus tend to stay out of the sun because their rash is made worse by sunlight, which is thought to produce more of the autoantigens in the skin attacked by the immune system. Additionally, as skin doctors (dermatologists) we recommend sun protection to skin lupus patients to minimize sun-sensitivity and prevent flares of their skin disease. However we may be putting them at risk for low vitamin D status and even more severe disease. Another risk factor that puts skin lupus patients at risk for vitamin D deficiency is that these patients generally have darker skin types which blocks UVB and further limits vitamin D production in the skin. Given that skin lupus patients are at high risk for low vitamin D status as mentioned above, the investigators propose a research study that will provide information about vitamin D levels in these patients. The investigators seek to identify how many skin lupus patients have low vitamin D status and how vitamin D influences the natural history of this skin disease. Additionally the investigators will evaluate whether or not supplementation with high dose vitamin D will lessen the severity and negative quality of life impact of skin lupus. Supplementation of vitamin D by mouth is an inexpensive, well tolerated, and safe over the counter method to replete and maintain a normal vitamin D status. Studies in other autoimmune diseases, specifically Crohn's disease and multiple sclerosis, have shown that high dose vitamin D supplementation improves disease severity. It is the hope of the investigators that this will also be observed in skin lupus patients. In summary, the investigators seek to move beyond establishing an association between vitamin D status and skin lupus. The investigators aim to elucidate the therapeutic benefit, if any, of vitamin D status on disease severity and quality of life while controlling for important factors that may influence vitamin D status. If the investigators are to show improvement in disease severity with vitamin D supplementation, this would be a cost-effective additional therapy to our standard clinical practice. Future research would also allow us to investigate other alternative markers of vitamin D deficiency and disease activity in skin lupus patients, a population at high risk for low vitamin D status and in need of further research.

The Lupus Foundation of America (LFA) Research Accelerated by You (RAY) Registry is an ongoing, voluntary, longitudinal study gathers data from adults with lupus and legally authorized representatives of children with lupus to better understand diagnosis, treatment, care, and quality of life. Participants provide informed consent and complete electronic surveys every six months. The LFA uses the data to address constituent needs, share clinical research opportunities, and advance lupus research by sharing de-identified data with approved third-party investigators. The LFA will promote participation via its website and email outreach to around 200,000 people connected to lupus. Participants may also be resurveyed to assess clinical trial eligibility and other factors related to trial participation. Types of self-reported data will include: demographics, diagnoses, treatment information and patient reported outcomes, including quality of life reports, which have been increasingly recognized as essential for assessing health outcomes.

The purpose of this study is to learn about the effects, safety and how PF-06823859 is processed in adults with cutaneous lupus erythematosus (CLE) or systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) showing some skin symptoms. This study is seeking for participants who: * are adults of 18 years of age or older. * are confirmed to have CLE or SLE with involvement of the skin. * have a Cutaneous Lupus Erythematosus Disease Area and Severity Index activity (CLASI-A) score of at least 8. About 48 participants will be selected to receive active study medicine (PF-06823859) or placebo (an infusion without drug). About 32 are grouped to receive the active study medicine and 16 are to receive placebo. They will be receiving the treatments by intravenous infusion (injected directly into the veins). At week 16 all participants receiving the active study drug since day 1 and participants who have received placebo since day 1 and are not responding clinically will receive active study medication. Patients who have received placebo since Day 1 and who have had a clinical response will continue to receive placebo till week 40. All participants will have last follow-up visit at Week 60. The study will compare participants receiving PF-06823859 to participants who receive placebo. This will help us see if PF-06823859 is safe and effective to treat CLE or SLE with skin symptoms and improve participant's CLASI-A score. Participants will take part in this study for about 65 weeks. This includes up to a 5-week selection period, a 12-week Q4Wk treatment period, a 36-week Q8Wk treatment period, and a 12-week follow-up period.
