Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to characterize the effects of 85 days treatment with MLN1202 on urinary albumin-to-creatinine ratio (UACR) in participants with type 2 diabetes, advanced kidney disease/diabetic nephropathy (DN) and macro-albuminuria (UACR>300 mg/g) based on average of 3 consecutive first morning voids sample collection.

Detailed Description

The drug being tested in this study is called MLN1202. MLN1202 is being tested to treat people who have diabetes with macroalbuminuria. This study will look at the urinary albumin-to-creatinine ratio in people who take MLN1202.

The study will enroll approximately 156 patients. Participants will be randomly assigned (by chance, like flipping a coin) to one of the four treatment groups-which will remain undisclosed to the patient and study doctor during the study (unless there is an urgent medical need):

• MLN1202 75 mg subcutaneous (SC) injection
• MLN1202 105 mg SC injection
• MLN1202 150 mg SC injection
• Placebo matching MLN1202 SC injection (dummy inactive solution) - this is a solution that looks like the study drug but has no active ingredient

All participants will receive a loading dose of placebo or MLN1202 on Day 1 followed by once-weekly injections of the study medication they were randomized to receive.

This multi-center trial will be conducted worldwide. The overall time to participate in this study is 5 months. Participants will make multiple visits to the clinic, plus a final visit 5 weeks after the last dose of study drug for a follow-up assessment.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria

1. In the opinion of the investigator, the participant is capable of giving informed consent to enter the trial, including understanding and complying with protocol requirements.

2. The participant or, when applicable, (eg, where the subject is capable of giving verbal informed consent to enter the trial but cannot physically sign a written, informed consent form), the participant's legally acceptable representative signs and dates a written, informed consent form and any required privacy authorization prior to the initiation of any study procedures.

3. At the time of Screening the participant is male or female and aged 18-90 years inclusive at first dose of study medication.

4. Was previously diagnosed with type 2 diabetes mellitus per American Diabetes Association criteria.

5. Has an estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) based on serum creatinine (eGFR, determined by Modification of Diet in Renal Disease [MDRD] equation) of 25-59 mL/min/1.73 m(2) at Screening.

6. Has been on a stable dose of angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor or angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB) for 8 weeks prior to Screening.

7. Has residual albuminuria despite stable treatment with an ACE inhibitor or an ARB for at least 8 weeks prior to Screening (albumin:creatinine ratio [ACR] of > 300 mg/g creatinine, inclusive at Screening).

8. Has glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) less than or equal to 10.5% at screening.

9. If a subject is regularly using dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitor (DPP-4i) or sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitor (SGLT2i) to treat diabetes, he/she has been on a stable dose and regimen within 2 months prior to Screening.

10. All participants who are not surgically sterile or post-menopausal, or whose partners are not surgically-sterile or postmenopausal, must use two effective birth control methods or abstain from intercourse during this study.

Exclusion Criteria

1. Has received any investigational compound within 90 days prior to Screening.

2. Is an immediate family member, study site employee, or is in a dependant relationship with a study site employee who is involved in the conduct of this study (eg, spouse, parent, child, sibling) or may consent under duress.

3. Is taking any combination of dual renin-angiotensin system (RAS) inhibition (such as an ACE inhibitor and an ARB or an ACE inhibitor and a mineralocorticoid receptor antagonist).
