What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Renal Function
Time Frame: Randomization to Month 6
The primary variable will be the mean change in renal function assessed by eGFR from randomization to Month 6.
Randomization to Month 6

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Efficacy (tBPAR, graft loss, death, loss to follow-up)
Time Frame: To Month 6
Composite efficacy failure of tBPAR, graft loss, death or loss to follow-up and each of its components at month 6 will be analysed per event rate estimates, Kaplan-Meier and regression models. The time to the first occurrence of the event will be calculated from the randomization date.
To Month 6

Other Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Number of participants with adverse events
Time Frame: at 24 months (end of study)
Routine safety will be assessed via AE reporting, vital signs, and laboratory data.
