4. Urine protein/creatinine (UP/C) ≥1.5 g/g (170 mg/mmol) at screening
5. eGFR ≥30 mL/min/1.73 m2 at screening.
6. Women of childbearing potential must agree to the use of one highly reliable method of contraception from 7 days prior to the first dose of study medication until 90 days after the last dose of study medication, plus one additional barrier method during sexual activity

Key Inclusion Criteria for the Open-label Extension Based on assessments at the Week 108 visit:
