   ii. Urine protein of 1.0 g / gCr or more and eGFR of 30 mL / min / 1.73 m^2 or more and less than 60 mL / min / 1.73 m^2 at screening even if corticosteroids are used for 6 months or more before screening.

   iii. Urine protein of 0.5 g / gCr or more and less than 1.0 g / gCr at screening and eGFR of 20 mL / min / 1.73m^2 or more and 60 mL / min / 1.73m^2 or urine protein of 1.0 g / gCr or more at screening And eGFR is 20 mL / min / 1.73m^2 or more and less than 30 mL / min / 1.73m^2.
