Six to 60 months post renal transplant at the initiation of screening.
Qualifying renal biopsy obtained within 8 weeks prior to randomization with histologic evidence of ≥ Grade 2 IF/TA (Banff score) without morphologic evidence of a treatable etiology (e.g., BK virus nephropathy, chronic obstruction).
Adequate bone marrow and liver function
Weight between 40-110 kg.
Female patients must be surgically sterile, postmenopausal (minimum 1 year without menses and verified by follicular-stimulating hormone [FSH] levels), or agree to use contraception from the time of signing the informed consent form through 16 weeks following the last injection of study medication.
