- Safety: Number and types of adverse events [ Time Frame: Up to 16 weeks ]Count of adverse events, by type, in the bardoxolone methyl arm compared to the placebo arm
- Change in glomerular filtration rate (GFR) measured by inulin clearance after 16 weeks of study drug administration, compared to baseline GFR [ Time Frame: Up to 16 weeks ]Change in GFR from baseline to 16 weeks
- Change in estimated GFR (eGFR) after 16 weeks of study drug administration, compared to baseline eGFR [ Time Frame: Up to 16 weeks ]Change in eGFR from baseline to 16 weeks
- Profiles of pharmacokinetics of plasma RTA 402 concentration: Trough (Pre-dose) and peak (2-4 hours post dose) concentrations of study drug at steady state [ Time Frame: Baseline, week 2, 6, 10, and 4 weeks after completion of study treatment ]Relationship between the study drug dose and the trough (Pre-dose) and peak (2-4 hours post dose) concentrations of study drug at steady state
