- Part B:Change From Baseline in Proteinuria [ Time Frame: Baseline, 16 Weeks ]Proteinuria is defined as the ratio of protein to creatinine.
- Part A and Part B: Number of Participants With One or More Treatment Emergent Adverse Events (AEs) or Any Serious AEs [ Time Frame: Baseline up to 32 Weeks ]Treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) are events which were not present at baseline or pre-existing conditions at baseline that worsened in severity following the start of treatment. A summary of other non-serious Adverse Events (AEs), and all Serious Adverse Events (SAE's), regardless of causality, is located in the Reported Adverse Events section.
- Part B: Change From Baseline in Proteinuria Over Time [ Time Frame: Baseline, 19 Weeks ]Proteinuria is defined as the ratio of protein to creatinine.
- Part B: Change From Baseline in Albuminuria Over Time [ Time Frame: Baseline, 19 Weeks ]Albuminuria is defined as the ratio of albumin to creatinine.

-
Have SBP >160 mmHg or DBP >100 mmHg
o Individuals with Stage 1 BP elevation (SBP 140-159 mmHg or DBP 90-99 mmHg) on some occasions during study, may be acceptable, as long as only non-protein-lowering antihypertensives are adjusted to achieve target BP goals (<140/90 mmHg)

- Are unwilling to discontinue use of Chinese herbs for at least 2 weeks prior to randomization and for the duration of their study participation
- Are unwilling or unable to comply with the use of a data collection device to directly record data from the participant
- Have donated blood of more than 500 milliliters (mL) within the last 60 days prior to screening
- Have an average weekly alcohol intake that exceeds 21 units per week or are unwilling to stop alcohol intake within 48 hours of entry into study and for the duration of the study (1 unit = 12 ounces (oz) or 360 mL of beer; 5 oz or 150 mL of wine; 1.5 oz or 45 mL of distilled spirits)
