Inclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: Age 1. Participant must be = 45 of age inclusive, at the time of signing the informed consent. Type of Participant and Disease Characteristics 2. Participants who have: • history of any of the following: - type 2 diabetes mellitus as defined by the American Diabetes Association (on treatment with glucose-lowering medications and/or insulin) for at least 2 years, and/or - diagnosis of hypertension (defined as systolic blood pressure [BP] values = 140 mmHg and/or diastolic BP values =90 mmHg) and on hypertension medication for at least 5 years • established atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (e.g. coronary artery disease, peripheral arterial disease, cerebrovascular disease) or heart failure • a clinical diagnosis of CKD based on all of the following criteria: - (estimated) glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) = 25 mL/min/1.73 m2 but = 60 mL/min/1.73 m2 (acc. Percentage of decrease in eGFR [CKD EPI]) - persistent high albuminuria defined as urine albumin-to-creatinine ratio [UACR] of between 30 mg/g and 3000 mg/g in 2 first morning void samples (collected at least 1 week apart) - Stable treatment with angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor (ACEi) or angiotensin-receptor blocker (ARB) for the participant maximum tolerated labelled daily dose and otherwise stable antihypertensive treatment both for at least 3 months before randomization, without any adjustments to this therapy for at least 4 weeks prior to randomization. • Diabetes patients that are on SGLT2-inhibitor (SGLT: sodium glucose transport protein) have to be on stable treatment for at least 3 months before Screening visit.

Dialysis for acute renal failure within the previous 6 months prior to the planned randomization 7. Renal allograft in place or a scheduled kidney transplant within the next 18 weeks (being on a waiting list does not exclude the subject) 8.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time 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
| Measure | Time 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) | — |
