years, must have evidence of ADPKD progression (i.e., eGFR decline of ≥ 2.0
mL/min/1.73 m2 per year, based on historical eGFR data and medical monitor
discretion); 2)The two eGFR values collected at Screen A and Screen B visits used to
determine eligibility must have a percent difference ≤ 25%;

analogues) within 3 months prior to the Screen A visit;
- B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) level > 200 pg/mL at Screen A visit;

- BMI < 18.5 kg/m2 at the Screen A visit;
- History of malignancy within 5 years prior to Screen A visit, with the exception of
localized skin or cervical carcinomas;
- Systemic immunosuppression for more than 2 weeks, cumulatively, within the 12 weeks

- Untreated or uncontrolled active bacterial, fungal, or viral infection;
- Participation in other interventional clinical studies within 30 days prior to Day 1;
- Unwilling to practice acceptable methods of birth control (both males who have

Screening, while taking study drug, and for at least 30 days after the last dose of
study drug is ingested;
