Trial Review

Did you know?

The ANZCTR now automatically displays published trial results and simplifies the addition of trial documents such as unpublished protocols and statistical analysis plans.

These enhancements will offer a more comprehensive view of trials, regardless of whether their results are positive, negative, or inconclusive.

The safety and scientific validity of this study is the responsibility of the study sponsor and investigators. Listing a study does not mean it has been endorsed by the ANZCTR. Before participating in a study, talk to your health care provider and refer to this information for consumers

* Receiving a maximally tolerated dose of RAS inhibitor therapy (ACEi or ARB) that has been stable for at least 12 weeks. Exceptions from this requirement will be made for subjects who are unable to tolerate RAS inhibitor therapy.
* Total urine protein =1 g/day as measured via 24-hour urine collection by central laboratory at Screening.
* eGFR of at least 30 mL/min/1.73 m^2 at Screening based on the CKD-EPI equation.
* Willing and able to provide informed consent and comply with all study requirements.
* SGLT2i Stable Stratum Only - Receiving a stable dose of an SGLT2i (per Investigator choice) in addition to a maximally tolerated and optimized dose of a RAS inhibitor that has been stable for at least 12 weeks prior to Screening.
* All fertile men and WOCBP who engage in heterosexual intercourse must be willing to abide with highly effective forms of contraception, as specified in the protocol, throughout the study and for 1 month afterward. In WOCBP, use of contraceptive agents must have been started at least 1 month prior to Baseline.

Open-Label Period:

* Willing and able to provide informed consent and comply with all OL extension study visits and study procedures.
* Completed treatment through Week 132 and completed the Week 136 visit.
* All fertile men and WOCBP who engage in heterosexual intercourse must be willing to abide with highly effective forms of contraception, as specified in the protocol, throughout the study and for 1 month afterward. In WOCBP, use of contraceptive agents must have been continued after completing the double-blind portion of the study.
