Uncontrolled hypertension (Grade 1 to 2 systolic hypertension – ESC/ESH), defined as: - Resting trough cuff seated SBP = 140 and = 179 mmHg based on the mean of at least 2 current consecutive clinic blood pressure readings at Screening and at the end of the placebo run-in period (Visit 3); AND - Currently on 2 or more antihypertensive medications, which have been titrated upward as tolerated to recommended hypertension target doses (such as diuretics [except for potassium-sparing diuretics], renin angiotensin system blockers, and/or calcium channel blockers. One of the antihypertensive medications must be high ceiling diuretic (loop or thiazide like), unless there is a documented intolerance or contraindication to diuretic therapy.

A single retest is allowed to exclude laboratory error or hemolyzed samples; 6.Women of childbearing potential (WOCBP) must agree to use 2 medically accepted, effective methods of birth control during the study and for 90 days after the end of the study. Adequate methods of contraception are defined as those that result in a low failure rate ( 20 mIU/L. Women who are taking hormone replacement therapy (HRT) do not have to have FSH assessments, but the amenorrhea (before starting HRT) must have been naturally (spontaneously) occurring and have been accompanied by an appropriate clinical profile (eg, age appropriate and history of vasomotor symptoms); 7.Males with partners who are WOCBP must agree to use condoms plus spermicide and their female partner must also be using contraception (eg, hormonal or intra-uterine device). This double contraception must be used from the first dose of study drug until at least 90 days after the last dose of study drug; 8. Males must also refrain from donating sperm during the study and for 90 days after the last dose; 9.Capable of understanding the written informed consent, provide signed and witnessed written informed consent before any study-specific procedure, and agree to comply with protocol requirements. Are the trial subjects under 18? no Number of subjects for this age range: F.1.2 Adults (18-64 years) yes F.1.2.1 Number of subjects for this age range 170 F.1.3 Elderly (>=65 years) yes F.1.3.1 Number of subjects for this age ran

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: To evaluate the efficacy of KBP-5074 in patients with moderate-to-severe Chronic kidney disease (CKD) on uncontrolled hypertension (eg, Grade 1 to 2 systolic hypertension – ESC/ESH) as determined by change in trough cuff seated systolic blood pressure (SBP) from baseline to Day 84.;Secondary Objective: To evaluate the change in trough cuff seated diastolic blood pressure from baseline to Day 84; To evaluate the change in 24-hour mean, daytime mean, nighttime mean, morning mean, last 6 hours of the dosing interval mean, SBP, DBP, mean arterial pressure and heart rate from baseline to Day 84 in a subset of patients as measured by 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure monitoring; To evaluate the change and percent change in urine albumin-to-creatinine ratio from baseline to Day 84 or microalbuminuria; To evaluate the change in serum aldosterone and plasma renin levels from baseline to Day 84; To evaluate the incidence of hyperkalemia, incidence of severe hyperkalemia and incidence of patients with serum potassium > 5.0 mmol/L; To evaluate the change in serum potassium levels from baseline to Day 84; To evaluate the changes in estimated glomerular filtration rate and creatinine levels > 30% throughout the study period; To evaluate population pharmacokinetics of KBP-5074.;Primary end point(s): The primary efficacy variable is the change in trough-cuff resting seated SBP from baseline to Day 84. ;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Day 84

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary end point(s): The key secondary efficacy variables include the following: • Change in trough-cuff seated DBP from baseline to Day 84; • Change in 24-hour mean, daytime mean, nighttime mean, morning mean, last 6 hours of the dosing interval mean, SBP, DBP, MAP, and HR from baseline to Day 84 as measured by 24-hour ABPM in a subset of up to 40 patients per treatment group; and • Change and percent change in UACR from baseline to Day 84 (for patients with albuminuria [defined as UACR > 300 mg/g] or microalbuminuria [defined as UACR in the range of 30 mg/g to 300 mg/g]).;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Day 84
