Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Number of Participants With Treatment-emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs) and Treatment-emergent Serious Adverse Events (TESAEs)
Adverse event (AE): any untoward medical occurrence in a participant who received study drug and did not necessarily had to have a causal relationship with the treatment. Serious adverse event (SAE) was any untoward medical occurrence that at any dose: resulted in death, was life-threatening, required inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization, resulted in persistent or significant disability/incapacity, was a congenital anomaly/birth defect, was a medically important event. TEAEs: AEs with onset after the first dose of investigational medicinal product (IMP) or existing AEs that worsened during TEAE Period (for DB Period: from first IMP administration up to first administration in OLE period for participant who entered OLE period; and up to 7 days post last IMP administration for participant not continuing OLE period; for open-label: time from 1st IMP administration in open-label to last IMP administration+ 10 weeks).
DB Period: Annualized Change From Baseline in Estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate (eGFR) at Week 48
Annualized change in eGFR was calculated using Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration (CKD-EPI) Creatinine Equation (for participants with age greater than 16 years) as: eGFR=142*min(Scr/K, 1)α*max(Scr/K, 1)^-1.200*0.9938^Age*1.012 [if female], where Scr = serum creatinine in milligrams per deciliter (mg/dL), K = 0.7 for females (F) and 0.9 for males (M), α = -0.241(F) and -0.302(M); age=years, calculated at time of creatinine measurement. eGFR measurements collected from baseline to Week 48 were the response variable and included fixed effects of treatment (lademirsen or placebo), screening eGFR stratification factor (less than [<]60 versus greater than or equal to [>=]60 milliliters per minute per 1.73 meters squared [mL/min/1.73 m^2]), time, and treatment-by-time interaction.

Weight > 110 kg. Any history of active malignancy within the last 1 year (history of localized basal cell or squamous cell carcinoma and cervical carcinoma in situ that has been excised/appropriately treated or a fully excised malignant lesion with a low probability of recurrence will not be considered exclusionary).

History or presence of alcoholism or drug abuse within 2 years before screening or other concurrent social conditions that would potentially interfere with the participant's study compliance, at the discretion of the Investigator. Participation in a recent investigational study and receipt of an investigational drug or investigational use of a licensed drug within 30 days or 5 half-lives, whichever was longer, prior to screening. History or presence of hypersensitivity or idiosyncratic, allergic, or other clinically significant reaction to the study drug (including placebo), inactive ingredients, or related compounds (e.g., other oligonucleotide products).
