Study to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of Selonsertib in Participants With Moderate to Advanced Diabetic Kidney Disease

Following the screening period, eligible participants will enroll into a Run-in period of at least 5 weeks and receive placebo to match SEL for at least 1 week and then SEL for at least 4 weeks. After completing Run-in period, eligible participants will be randomized and receive either SEL or placebo to match SEL for at least 48 weeks.

Key Inclusion Criteria:

• Diagnosis of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) as per local guidelines.
• Estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) value calculated by central laboratory utilizing samples collected during screening and prior to enrollment of ≥ 20 mL/min/1.73 m^2 to < 60 mL/min/1.73 m^2 with albuminuria

• eGFR and urine albumin to creatinine ratio (UACR) must meet criteria a, b, or c

• a: eGFR (mL/min/1.73 m^2): ≥ 45 to < 60; UACR (mg/g): ≥ 600 to 5000
• b: eGFR (mL/min/1.73 m^2): ≥ 30 to < 45; UACR (mg/g): ≥ 300 to 5000
• c: eGFR (mL/min/1.73 m^2): ≥ 20 to < 30; UACR (mg/g): ≥ 150 to 5000
• Treatment with either an angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor (ACEi) or angiotensin receptor blocker (ARB)

• Individuals not receiving an ACEi or ARB may be enrolled if there is documented intolerance to ACEi and ARB
• Individuals receiving less-than-maximal dose of an ACEi or ARB may be enrolled if there is a documented reason that the maximum labeled dose of ACEi and ARB could not be reached
• Individuals already receiving sodium-glucose co-transporter-2 (SGLT-2) inhibitors must be on a stable dose for at least 2 weeks prior to enrollment
• Mean systolic blood pressure (SBP) must be <160 mmHg and mean diastolic blood pressure (DBP) must be <100 mmHg
• Required baseline laboratory data, analyzed by central laboratory, within 30 days prior to enrollment

Key Exclusion Criteria:

• Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) > 12.0% within 30 days prior to enrollment
• Individuals with diagnosis of type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) or maturity onset diabetes of the young (MODY)
• Body mass index (BMI) > 50 kg/m^2
• UACR > 5000 mg/g on any measurement during screening
• End stage kidney disease (ESKD) (i.e., chronic hemodialysis, chronic peritoneal dialysis, or history of kidney transplantation)
• Anticipated progression to ESKD (need for chronic hemodialysis, chronic peritoneal dialysis or receipt of kidney transplant) within 3 months after enrollment
• Unstable cardiovascular disease
• Pregnant or lactating females or planning to become pregnant or breastfeed during the study
• Concurrent use of either

• ACEi and ARB or
• Mineralocorticoid receptor antagonist (MRA) or direct renin inhibitor (DRI) in combination with an ACEi or ARB for at least 2 weeks prior to Enrollment
• Prior or ongoing clinically significant illness, medical condition, surgical history, physical finding, ECG finding, or laboratory abnormality that, in the investigator's opinion, could adversely affect the safety of the individual or impair the assessment of study results

Note: Other protocol defined Inclusion/Exclusion criteria may apply.
