Study on the safety of the drug runcaciguat and how well it works when given at the highest dose as tolerated by the individual patient whose kidneys are not working properly and suffering at the same time from a disease of the heart and the blood vessels and high blood sugar

A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multi-center study to assess the safety and efficacy of individually titrated oral doses of runcaciguat in subjects with clinical diagnosis of chronic kidney disease with diabetes and/or hypertension and at least one cardiovascular comorbidity - CONCORD

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: To investigate the change in albuminuria by urinary albumin-to-creatinine ratio (UACR) after treatment with titrated doses of runcaciguat given once daily from baseline to day 57 (+/-3);Secondary Objective: To investigate the overall safety and tolerability of runcaciguat;Primary end point(s): Mean change in UACR from baseline to the average of multiple time points during treatment;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: From baseline up to day 57 (± 3)

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary end point(s): Number of subjects with treatment emergent adverse event (TEAE) Number of subjects with early discontinuations;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Number of subjects with TEAE: From first treatment administration up to end of follow up (Day 87±7) Number of subjects with early discontinuations: From first treatment administration up to end of treatment (Day 57±3)
