Study Arms:
- Bardoxolone methyl (Type: EXPERIMENTAL): Patients randomized to receive bardoxolone methyl capsules orally once daily for 12 weeks at a starting dose of 5 mg and titrated up to a maximal dose of 20 mg (participants with UACR less than or equal to 300 mg/g) or 30 mg (participants with UACR greater than 300 mg/g)~Patients will be scheduled to be assessed during treatment at Day 1, Weeks 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, and 12 and by telephone contact on Days 3, 10, 21, 31, 35, and 45. Patients will not receive any drug during a 5-week off-treatment period between Weeks 12 and 17. Patients will be assessed on Day 3 off-treatment (OT), Day 7 OT, Day 14 OT, Day 21 OT, Day 28 OT, and Day 35 OT. The OT day corresponds to days after last dose.~Patients will be assessed at and end-of-study (EOS) visit on Week 17.
- Placebo (Type: PLACEBO_COMPARATOR): Patients who received placebo, once-daily, orally, remained on placebo throughout the study duration of 12 weeks and followed the same titration to maintain the blind,~Patients will be scheduled to be assessed during treatment at Day 1, Weeks 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, and 12 and by telephone contact on Days 3, 10, 21, 31, 35, and 45. Patients will not receive any drug during a 5-week off-treatment period between Weeks 12 and 17. Patients will be assessed on Day 3 off-treatment (OT), Day 7 OT, Day 14 OT, Day 21 OT, Day 28 OT, and Day 35 OT. The OT day corresponds to days after last dose.~Patients will be assessed at and end-of-study (EOS) visit on Week 17.
