Brief summary

The primary objective of this study is to determine the effect of selonsertib (formerly GS-4997) on estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) decline in participants with diabetic kidney disease (DKD). Participants will be randomized with a 1:1:1:1 allocation to receive 1 of 3 doses of selonsertib (2 mg, 6 mg, or 18 mg) or matching placebo.
