Eligibility
Key inclusion criteria
Participants are eligible to be included in the study only if all of the following criteria apply:

* Diagnosis of Chronic kidney disease (CKD), defined as:

(a) eGFR chronic kidney disease epidemiology collaboration (CKD-EPI) = 20 mL/min/1.73 m^2, and (b) UACR = 150 and = 5000 mg albumin/g creatinine, based on a single first morning void spot urine sample at screening.

* If Angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEi) and/or Angiotensin receptor blockers (ARB) and/or mineralocorticoid receptor agonist are prescribed, the dose must be stable = 4 weeks before screening. Participants who have been deemed unable to tolerate ACEi or ARB therapy due to allergy or complications can be enrolled.
* No current or prior treatment within 6 months prior to screening with cytotoxic therapy, immunosuppressive therapy or other immunotherapy for primary or secondary kidney disease.
* Body mass index = 40 kg/m^2.
* Male or female of non-childbearing potential.
* Female participants must have a negative pregnancy test at screening, must not be lactating, and must be of non-childbearing potential, confirmed at screening by fulfilling one of the following criteria:

* Postmenopausal defined as amenorrhoea for at least 12 months or more following cessation of all exogenous hormonal treatments and follicle-stimulating hormone and luteinizing hormone levels in the postmenopausal range.
* Documentation of irreversible surgical sterilisation by hysterectomy, bilateral oophorectomy, or bilateral salpingectomy but not tubal ligation.
* Male participants must be surgically sterile, abstinent, or in conjunction with a female sexual partner, using a highly effective method of contraception for the duration of the study (from the time they sign consent) and for 3 months after the last dose of investigational product to prevent any pregnancies. Male study participants must not donate or bank sperm during this same time period.
* Capable of giving signed informed consent, as described in Appendix A, which includes compliance with the requirements and restrictions listed in the informed consent form (ICF) and in this protocol.
* Provision of signed and dated, written ICF prior to any mandatory study-specific procedures, sampling, and analyses.
* Provision of signed and dated written Genetic informed consent prior to collection of samples (optional) for genetic analysis.

* Any clinically significant disease or disorder (eg, cardiovascular, gastrointestinal, liver, renal, neurological, musculoskeletal, endocrine, metabolic, psychiatric, major physical impairment), which might put the participant at risk because of participation in the study, or probable alternative primary reason for participant's symptoms in judgment of investigator, including but not limited to:

* Isolated pulmonary arterial hypertension [PAP] (defined as mean PAP = 25 mmHg at rest) or right ventricular failure; in the absence of left-sided HF
* Anaemia defined as haemoglobin (Hb) level < 100 g/L or 10 g/dL at screening (Visit 1)
