About this trial

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy, safety and tolerability of balcinrenone in fixed combination with dapagliflozin, compared with dapagliflozin, in patients with CKD Stage 3b and 4 (eGFR ≥ 15 to \< 45 mL/min/1.73 m2) administered orally once daily in addition to SoC.

This is a population with high unmet medical need and an increased risk of CKD progression, who are frequently excluded from interventional trials.

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Age ≥ 18 years
