- Treatment-specific Baseline Estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate Based on Creatinine (eGFRcr) [ Time Frame: Treatment-specific Baselines (From enrollment (Visit A) up to 14 days after Visit A for placebo and from Visit C up to 14 days after Visit C for SEL) ]
The values of eGFRcr were calculated using the Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology (CKD-EPI) Creatinine Equation (2009). eGFRcr = 141*min(Standardized Serum Creatinine (Scr)/kappa, 1) ^alpha*max(Scr/ kappa, 1)^(-1.209)*0.993^Age*1.018[if female]*1.159[if Black], where kappa=0.7(females) or 0.9(males), alpha=-0.329(females) or -0.411(males). min indicates the minimum of Scr/kappa or 1, max indicates the maximum of Scr/kappa or 1, and age is in years.
Treatment-specific Baselines = the average of Visits A and B values for Placebo, and the average of Visit C and Day 1 values for SEL.
Visit A= enrollment, Visit B= 7-14 days after Visit A, Visit C= 21-28 days after Visit B, and Visit 1= 7-14 days after Visit C.
- eGFRcr Slope [ Time Frame: Treatment-specific Baselines through Week 84 ]The values of eGFRcr were calculated using the CKD-EPI Creatinine Equation (2009). eGFRcr = 141*min(Scr/kappa, 1) ^alpha*max(Scr/kappa, 1)^(-1.209)*0.993^Age*1.018[if female]*1.159[if Black], where kappa=0.7(females) or 0.9(males), alpha=-0.329(females) or -0.411(males). min indicates the minimum of Scr/kappa or 1, max indicates the maximum of Scr/kappa or 1, and age is in years. Treatment specific baselines for eGFRcr: average of Visit A (enrollment) and Visit B (7-14 days after Visit A) values for Placebo, and average of Visit C (21-28 days after Visit B, and Visit 1 (7-14 days after Visit C) values for SEL.
- Percentage of Participants With Kidney Clinical Events at Week 48 [ Time Frame: Week 48 ]Kidney clinical events were defined as any of the following events: confirmed ≥ 40% decline in eGFRcr from baseline, or kidney failure (dialysis performed for at least 4 weeks, kidney transplantation, or confirmed decrease in eGFRcr to < 15 mL/min/1.73 m^2 for participants without dialysis or kidney transplantation), or death due to kidney disease.
- Time From Randomization to First Occurrence of a Kidney Clinical Event: Event Rate Per 100 Participant-years for First Occurrence of Kidney Clinical Event [ Time Frame: From randomization up to Week 101 ]Kidney clinical events were defined as any of the following events: confirmed ≥ 40% decline in eGFRcr from baseline, or kidney failure (dialysis performed for at least 4 weeks, kidney transplantation, or confirmed decrease in eGFRcr to < 15 mL/min/1.73 m^2 for participants without dialysis or kidney transplantation), or death due to kidney disease. This outcome measure was analyzed using event rate per 100 participant-years for first occurrence of kidney clinical event. Participant year was calculated as total follow-up duration across all participants in a given group. Follow-up duration was defined as time from Randomization to the earliest of study completion, premature study discontinuation, death, or event of interest in each row.
- Pre-run-in Baseline Estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate Based on Cystatin C (eGFRcys) [ Time Frame: Pre-run-in Baseline (Pre-run in Baseline = Average of visit A (Enrollment) and Visit B (7-14 days after Visit A) eGFRcys values) ]eGFRcys = Estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate calculated by CKD-EPI Cystatin C Equation (2012). eGFR = 133*min(Standardized Serum Cystatin (Scys)/0.8, 1) ^(-0.499)*max(Scys/0.8, 1)^(-1.328)*0.996^Age*0.932[if female]. min indicates the minimum of Scys/0.8 or 1, max indicates the maximum of Scr/0.8 or 1, and age is in years.
- eGFRcys Slope [ Time Frame: Pre-run-in Baseline through Week 84 ]eGFRcys = Estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate calculated by CKD-EPI Cystatin C Equation (2012). eGFR = 133*min(Scys/0.8, 1) ^(-0.499)*max(Scys/0.8, 1)^(-1.328)*0.996^Age*0.932[if female]. min indicates the minimum of Scys/0.8 or 1, max indicates the maximum of Scr/0.8 or 1, and age is in years. Pre-run in Baseline = Average of visit A (Enrollment) and Visit B (7-14 days after Visit A) eGFRcys values.
