• For patients enrolling in T1D Cohort: Diagnosis of type 1 diabetes confirmed by fasting C-peptide level. Diagnosis must have been made ≤ 35 years of age; and prescribed stable dose of insulin to maintain adequate glucose control for at least 6 months prior to the Screen A visit;
• For patients enrolling in IgAN Cohort: Biopsy-confirmed IgA nephropathy;
• For patients enrolling in FSGS Cohort: Biopsy-confirmed FSGS that is not due to known secondary causes including morbid obesity, decreased renal mass, viral infections, drug-induced nephrotoxicity, or prior history of vasculitis;
• For patients enrolling in ADPKD Cohort: Genetic confirmation of PKD1 mutation;
• Adequate bone marrow reserve and organ function at the Screen A visit as follows: Hematologic: Absolute neutrophil count > 1.5 x 109/L, platelets > 100 x 109/L, hemoglobin (Hgb) ≥ 9 g/dL; and Hepatic: Total bilirubin (TBL) ≤ 1.5 times the upper limit of normal (ULN), alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) ≤ 1.5 times ULN.

Exclusion Criteria:

• Kidney or any other solid organ transplant recipient or a planned transplant during the study;
• B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) level > 200 pg/mL at Screen A visit;
• Acute dialysis or acute kidney injury within 12 weeks prior to Screen A visit or during Screening;
• Serum albumin < 3 g/dL at Screen A visit;
• Systemic immunosuppression for more than 2 weeks, cumulatively, within the 12 weeks prior to randomization or anticipated need for immunosuppression during the study;
• For patients enrolling in IgAN Cohort: Systemic manifestations of Henoch-Schonlein purpura within 1 year prior to Screen A visit; or have used belimumab, eculizumab, or rituximab within 6 months prior to Screen A visit;
• For patients enrolling in ADPKD Cohort: Receiving tolvaptan;
• Cerebrovascular event (stroke, transient ischemic attack) or aneurysm within 6 months prior to Screen A visit or during Screening;
• History of clinically significant left-sided heart disease and/or clinically significant cardiac disease;
• Uncontrolled systemic hypertension;
• Systolic BP < 90 mm Hg at Screen A visit after a period of rest;
• History of malignancy within 2 years prior to Screen A visit, with the exception of localized skin or cervical carcinomas;
• Uncontrolled diabetes (HbA1c > 10.0%) at Screen A visit;
• 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 partners of child-bearing potential and females of childbearing potential) during Screening, while taking study drug, and for at least 30 days after the last dose of study drug is ingested;
• Women who are pregnant or breastfeeding.
