Brief Summary
This study aims to investigate the impact of adding Ganagliflozin tablets to the current background therapy on preventing the progression of kidney disease in subjects with type 2 diabetes and chronic kidney disease. The efficacy and safety will be evaluated by comparing the effects of Ganagliflozin tablets and placebo tablets added to the current background treatment over 120 weeks
