Prior treatment
- Use of systemic immunosuppressant medications, such as steroids, for more than 2 weeks in the past 3 months.

- Have received any investigational agent or approved treatment for IgAN (other than a RAS inhibitor) including SGLT2i (except for subjects in the SGLT2i stable stratum) within 1 month (or 5 half-lives of the agent, whichever is longer) prior to Screening. If the investigational agent is a cytotoxic or immunosuppressive agent then this washout period is 6 months.
Other illness
- Current diagnosis with another chronic kidney disease, including diabetic kidney disease.
- History of kidney transplantation or other organ transplantation.
- Clinically significant history of liver disease as assessed by the Investigator.
- Malignancy within the past 5 years. Exceptions to this criteria include nonmelanoma skin cancer and curatively treated cervical carcinoma in situ.
Lab values
- Hemoglobin below 9 g/dL as measured by the Investigator or prior history of blood transfusion for anemia within the past 3 months.
Other
- Blood pressure above 150 mmHg systolic or 95 mmHg diastolic as evaluated by the Investigator.
- For women, pregnancy, breast feeding, or intent to become pregnant during the study. and at least 1 month afterward.

- Receiving a maximally tolerated and stable dose of a RASi for at least 12 weeks prior to screening. Investigator discretion should be used in determining maximally tolerated and optimized dose.
- eGFR of at least 30 mL/min/1.73 m\^2 at screening based on the 2021 CKD-EPI equation.
- Willing to agree to highly effective forms of contraception, as specified in the protocol, throughout the study and for up to 1 month afterward. In WOCBP, use of hormonal contraceptive agents must have been started at least 1 month prior to baseline.
