Inclusion Criteria
  • Males 30 to 75 years of age
  • Type 1 or 2 diabetes and receiving treatment with at least one anti-hyperglycemic medication and angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEi)/angiotensin receptor blockers (ARB) (renin-angiotensin system [RAS] inhibitor)
  • Estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate (eGFR) equal to or greater than 35 mL/min/1.73 m^2 with the Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration (CKD-EPI) Formula and Urine Albumin-to-Creatinine Ratio (UACR) equal to or greater than 30 and less than 5,000 mg/g creatinine.
  • Able to provide a semen specimen at the required intervals.
  • Baseline sperm concentration equal to or greater than 30 million per mL.
Exclusion Criteria
  • Treatment with hormone suppressive agents or cancer chemotherapy within the 6 months prior to the initial screening visit or planned during the study.
  • History of severe peripheral edema or facial edema unrelated to trauma or history of myxedema in the prior 4 weeks prior to screening.
  • History of pulmonary hypertension, pulmonary fibrosis or any lung disease requiring oxygen therapy.
  • Documented diagnosis of heart failure, previous hospitalization for heart failure or current or constellation of symptoms (dyspnea on exertion, pedal edema, orthopnea, paroxysmal nocturnal dyspnea) felt to be compatible with heart failure, that was not explained by other causes, and for which there was a change in medication or other management directed at heart failure.
  • Currently receiving or has received hormone replacement therapy within 6 months prior to screening.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Percentage of Subjects With a Sperm Concentration < 15 Million Per mL by Treatment Week 26Up to 26 weeks

Percentage of Subjects with a Sperm Concentration \< 15 million per mL by Treatment Week 26. Sperm concentration was calculated as measure of the number sperm per milliliter of semen. Duplicate semen samples were collected. The average of the 2 samples were used as the value for that scheduled collection period.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Percentage of Participants Who Entered the Observation Period and Did Not Return to Within 15% of Baseline Sperm Concentration or Above During the 52-Week Observational PeriodUp to 52 weeks after the Treatment Period

The percentage of participants who entered the Observational Period and did not return to within 15% of Baseline sperm concentration or above during the 52-week Observational Period. Duplicate semen samples were to be collected during the Observational Period. Sperm concentration was calculated as measure of the number sperm per milliliter of semen. Duplicate semen samples were collected. The average of the 2 samples were used as the value for that scheduled collection period.

Change From Baseline up to Treatment Period Week 26 and Observation Period Week 52 in Sperm ConcentrationFrom Week 0 up to Treatment Period Week 26 and Observation Period Week 52

Duplicate semen samples will be collected during the Treatment and Observational Periods. The average of the 2 samples were used as the value for that scheduled collection period. A negative change from baseline indicated a decrease in sperm concentration.

Change From Baseline up to Treatment Period Week 26 and Observation Period Week 52 in Sperm MotilityFrom Week 0 up to Treatment Period Week 26 and Observation Observation Week 52

Duplicate semen samples will be collected during the Treatment and Observation Periods. The average of the 2 samples were used as the value for that scheduled collection period. A negative change from baseline indicated a lower sperm motility (worsening).

Change From Baseline up to Treatment Period Week 26 and Observation Period Week 52 in Sperm MorphologyFrom Week 0 up to Treatment Period Week 26 and Observation Period Week 52

Duplicate semen samples will be collected during the Treatment and Observational Periods. The percentage of sperm with normal versus abnormal morphology will be determined via microscopic analysis. A positive change from baseline indicates an improved sperm morphology.

Change From Baseline up to Treatment Period Week 26 and Observation Period Week 52 in Semen VolumeFrom Week 0 to up to Treatment Period Week 26 and Observation Period Week 52

Duplicate semen samples will be collected during the Treatment and Observation Periods. The average of the 2 samples were used as the value for that scheduled collection period. A negative change from baseline indicated a decrease in semen volume.

Change From Baseline up to Treatment Period Week 26 and Observation Period Week 52 in Serum TestosteroneFrom Week 0 up to Treatment Period Week 26 and Observation Period Week 52

Serum hormones levels will be tested during the Treatment and Observational Periods. A negative change from baseline indicated a decrease in serum testosterone.

Change From Baseline up to Treatment Period Week 26 and Observation Period Week 52 in EstradiolFrom Week 0 up to Treatment Period Week 26 and Observation Period Week 52

Serum hormones levels were tested during the Treatment and Observational Periods. A negative change from baseline indicated a decrease in serum estradiol.

Change From Baseline up to Treatment Period Week 26 and Observation Period Week 52 in Lutenizing Hormone (LH)From Week 0 to up to Treatment Period Week 26 and Observation Period Week 52

Serum hormones levels will be tested during the Treatment and Observational Periods. A positive change from baseline indicated an increase in serum lutenizing hormone.

Change From Baseline up to Treatment Period Week 26 and Observation Period Week 52 in in Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH)From Week 0 to Treatment Week 26 and Observation Week 52

Serum hormones levels will be tested during the Treatment and Observational Periods. A positive change from baseline indicated an increase in serum follicle stimulating hormone.

Change From Baseline up to Treatment Period Week 26 and Observation Period Week 52 in Inhibin BFrom Week 0 up to Treatment Period Week 26 and Observation Period Week 52

Serum hormones levels will be tested during the Treatment and Observational Periods. A negative change from baseline indicated a decrease in serum Inhibin B.
