The primary objective of this phase Ib study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of multiple-ascending, subcutaneous (SC) doses of HC022 in SLE/CLE subjects. Secondary objectives of study are as follows: To estimate the PK parameters of multiple-ascending SC doses of HC022 in SLE/CLE subjects；To evaluate the immunogenicity of HC022 administered to SLE/CLE subjects.

• 8. Subjects with a history of chronic, recurrent (3 or more infections of the same type within 1 year) or severe infections (e.g. pneumonia and sepsis) within half a year before informed consent as determined by the investigator, including viral infection, or requiring systemic anti-infective treatment within 12 weeks before informed consent;
• 9.History of severe herpes infection (e.g., herpetic encephalitis, ocular herpes or diffuse herpes) or signs of herpes or varicella-zoster virus infection within 12 weeks prior to knowledge (especially chickenpox and herpes zoster);
• 10. History or current history of malignant disease, including solid tumors and hematologic malignancies (except for basal cell carcinoma of the skin, squamous cell carcinoma of the skin, and cervical cancer in situ that have been completely removed and considered cured > 2 years at the time of informed consent).

• 19. Subjects who have participated in other clinical trials within 4 weeks before informed consent, or within 5 half-lives of the investigational drug, whichever is longer;
• 20. Presence of a past or present condition other than SLE and/or CLE that, in the opinion of the Investigator, may interfere with the assessment of skin inflammation and disease activity;
• 21. Subjects who are allergic to the investigational drug (including excipients) or suffer from serious allergic diseases or have an allergic constitution (such as allergy to two or more drugs, food or pollen), which may impair the safety of subjects in the judgment of the investigator;
• 22. Tattoos, scars or other physical examination findings in the area of planned injection sites that interfere with local injection site evaluation;
