Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria: 1. Age 18-70 years (inclusive) at informed consent signing, regardless of sex; 2. Body weight ≥ 40.0 kg and body mass index (BMI) ≥ 16 kg/m² to ≤ 28 kg/m² at screening; 3. Diagnosed with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) per 1997 ACR criteria or 2019 EULAR/ACR classification criteria; 4. Positive antinuclear antibody (titer ≥ 1:80) and/or anti-dsDNA antibody and/or anti-Sm antibody at screening; 5. Histologically confirmed active lupus nephritis (LN) class III or IV ± class V by renal biopsy, per 2018 International Society of Nephrology/Renal Pathology Society (ISN/RPS) standards within 1 year preceding or during screening. Exclusion Criteria: 1. Received renal dialysis within 12 months preceding screening, or anticipated requirement for dialysis/renal transplantation within 6 months post-enrollment; 2. Renal biopsy demonstrating \> 50% globally sclerosed glomeruli; 3. Active severe/unstable neuropsychiatric SLE (NPSLE); 4. Catastrophic antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) within 12 months pre-screening, or APS-related thrombotic events (except non-catastrophic/mild APS cases with stable anticoagulation ≥12 weeks prior to screening); 5.
