Inclusion Criteria

1. Participant with a clinical diagnosis of chronic kidney disease (CKD)
and the following:
a. In Part A: eGFR 40-90 ml/min/1.73m^2 (with no more than 20% having an eGFR >75 ml/min/1.73m^2) using Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration (CKD EPI) formula at screening visit and at least one historical value of eGFR <60 mL/min/1.73 m^2 within 3 months or have a registered diagnosis of CKD.
b. In Part B: eGFR 30-90 ml/min/1.73m^2 (with no more than 20% having an eGFR >75 ml/min/1.73m^2) using CKD-EPI formula at screening visit and at least one historical value of eGFR <60 mL/min/1.73 m^2 within 3 months or have a registered diagnostic of CKD.
c. 300 =UACR <5000 mg/g at screening visit (mean value from 3 morning void samples) and documentation of albuminuria/proteinuria (quantitative or semi-quantitative measurement) in the participant's medical records at least 3 months prior to screening.
2. Participant with type 2 diabetes (T2D) as defined by the American Diabetes Association (ADA 2021), with glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) at screening <11%.
3. Participant treated with the clinically maximum tolerated dose, as per investigator judgment, of angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor (ACEi) or angiotensin receptor blocker (ARB), but not both, for more than 1 month at screening visit.
