Secondary Objectives:
To characterize the effect of MLN1202 on urinary albumin-creatinine ratio over time.
To characterize the effect of MLN1202 on total protein-creatinine ratio over time.
Additional Objectives:
To characterize the effect of study drug on glycosylated hemoglobin fraction (HbA1c); high sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP); homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) and beta cell function HOMA-BCF; and renal function, as measured by creatinine.
To assess the safety and tolerability of study drug; evaluate the PK of MLN1202 given by SC injection in patients with CKD.
To evaluate the correlation between genetic markers and the effect of MLN1202 on UACR; subject’s pain during weekly SC injections; the role of baseline urinary MCP-1 as a biomarker for the effect of MLN1202 on albuminuria. |

6. Subject has received dialysis within 3 months of Screening.
7. Subject has infectious diseases or leg ulcers at Screening (all per discretion of Principal Investigator [PI]).
8. Subject has severe concurrent disease which, in the judgment of the investigator, would interfere significantly with the assessments of safety and efficacy during this study.
9. Subject with known infection with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), or a positive test for Hepatitis B, Hepatitis C, or TB at Screening.
10. Subject has used long-term immune suppressants, steroid therapy (except for topical use or inhalation), chronic use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAIDs), cyclooxygenase type 2 (COX-2) inhibitors within 2 weeks prior to Screening.

12. Subjects with known non-diabetic kidney disease (such as autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPCKD), IgA nephropathy, focal segmental glomerulosclerosis, or obstructive uropathy). Hypertensive nephrosclerosis superimposed on diabetic kidney disease is acceptable.
13. Subject had a previous renal transplant.
14. Subject has hypersensitivity to other monoclononal antibodies (mAb) or to any component of the formulation of MLN1202.
15. The subject has history of malignancy within the previous 5 years (with the exception of adequately treated basal cell or squamous cell carcinoma of the skin).
16. Subject is symptomatic with dysuria, and has a positive urine culture at screening.
