Brief summary

Patients with chronic kidney disease, who have evidence of systemic inflammation with increased cardiovascular risk, will be enrolled into this trial. The purpose of this trial is to determine a dose to select for a potential cardiovascular outcome trial with Ziltivekimab. Doses to be tested will be 7.5 mg, 15 mg and 30 mg subcutaneous monthly compared to placebo for six months.

Percentage of Participants With Treatment Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs), Treatment Emergent Serious AEs (TESAEs), Severe Hematologic AEs, Severe Non-hematologic AEs, and AEs Leading to Drug DiscontinuationFrom week 0 to week 32An AE was defined as any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding), symptom or disease temporally associated with the use of a product, whether or not considered related to the product. TEAEs are defined as AEs that initiated or worsened on or after the date of first dose of study drug up to the end of safety-follow-up. A SAE was defined as any untoward medical occurrence that at any dose results in death, or is life-threatening, or requires inpatient hospitalization or causes prolongation of existing hospitalization results in persistent or significant disability/incapacity, or may have caused a congenital anomaly/birth defect, or requires intervention to prevent permanent impairment or damage. TEAEs that met any of these criteria were considered severe hematologic AEs: grade 3 neutropenia, grade 3 anemia, grade 3 leukopenia, grade 3 lymphopenia, grade 3 eosinophilia, and grade 3 thrombocytopenia.
Percentage of Participants With Thrombolysis in Myocardial Infarction (TIMI) Major Bleeding EventsFrom week 0 to week 32Bleeding events were classified using the TIMI bleeding classification as follows: 1) major: intracranial hemorrhage or a \>=5 g/dL decrease in the hemoglobin concentration or a \>=15 percent (%) absolute decrease in the hematocrit; 2) minor: (a) observed blood loss: \>=3 g/dL decrease in the hemoglobin concentration or \>=10% decrease in the hematocrit. (b) no observed blood loss: \>=4 g/dL decrease in the hemoglobin concentration or \>=12% decrease in the hematocrit; 3) minimal: any clinically overt sign of hemorrhage (including imaging) that was associated with a \< 3 g/dL decrease in the hemoglobin concentration or \<9% decrease in the hematocrit.
Percentage of Participants With Any Treatment-emergent Adverse Events of Special Interest (AESI)From week 0 to week 32An AE was defined as any unfavourable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding), symptom or disease temporally associated with the use of a product, whether or not considered related to the product. AESI included serious infections, malignancies, anaphylaxis occurring at any time, even if considered unrelated to the study drug, gastrointestinal perforations, hypersensitivity reaction during investigational product (IP) administration, neutrophils per cubic millimeter (500/mm\^3) (severe) or neutrophils \<1000/mm\^3 (severe) with evidence of concurrent infection, severe injection-related reactions, thrombocytopenia (platelet count \<50,000/mm\^3 (severe)) or platelet count \<75,000/mm\^3 (moderate) with evidence of concurrent TIMI major bleeding.

Number of Participants With Anti-drug Antibodies (ADAs)From week 0 to week 32Participants who had at least 1 positive sample (treatment-boosted or treatment-induced) at any time after their first Ziltivekimab administration were classified as positive for ADAs. In the instance that a participant had a positive sample at the baseline visit, the participant was considered positive only if the peak titer of the post-treatment sample was at least 2-fold higher (i.e., \>=2-fold) than the titer of the baseline sample.

Bleeding events were classified using the TIMI bleeding classification as follows: 1) major: intracranial hemorrhage or a \>=5 g/dL decrease in the hemoglobin concentration or a \>=15 percent (%) absolute decrease in the hematocrit; 2) minor: (a) observed blood loss: \>=3 g/dL decrease in the hemoglobin concentration or \>=10% decrease in the hematocrit. (b) no observed blood loss: \>=4 g/dL decrease in the hemoglobin concentration or \>=12% decrease in the hematocrit; 3) minimal: any clinically overt sign of hemorrhage (including imaging) that was associated with a \< 3 g/dL decrease in the hemoglobin concentration or \<9% decrease in the hematocrit.

Percentage of Participants With Treatment Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs), Treatment Emergent Serious AEs (TESAEs), Severe Hematologic AEs, Severe Non-hematologic AEs, and AEs Leading to Drug Discontinuation

An AE was defined as any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding), symptom or disease temporally associated with the use of a product, whether or not considered related to the product. TEAEs are defined as AEs that initiated or worsened on or after the date of first dose of study drug up to the end of safety-follow-up. A SAE was defined as any untoward medical occurrence that at any dose results in death, or is life-threatening, or requires inpatient hospitalization or causes prolongation of existing hospitalization results in persistent or significant disability/incapacity, or may have caused a congenital anomaly/birth defect, or requires intervention to prevent permanent impairment or damage. TEAEs that met any of these criteria were considered severe hematologic AEs: grade 3 neutropenia, grade 3 anemia, grade 3 leukopenia, grade 3 lymphopenia, grade 3 eosinophilia, and grade 3 thrombocytopenia.
