Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: - Evidence of chronic kidney disease (CKD) at risk of kidney disease progression is defined on the basis of local laboratory results recorded at least 3 months before and at the time of the Screening visit, and requires: 1. Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration (CKD-EPI) eGFR >=20 =45 =200 mg/g (or protein-to-creatinine ratio >=300 mg/g). - Neither requires an Aldosterone Synthase inhibitor (ASi) or Mineralocorticoid Receptor Antagonist (MRA), nor that such treatment is definitely inappropriate.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: - Blood potassium of >5.2 mmol/L at Screening visit - Blood Alanine Transaminase (ALT) or Aspartate Transaminase (AST) >3x Upper Limit of Normal (ULN) at Screening visit - Known liver cirrhosis - On dialysis, functioning kidney transplant, or scheduled living donor transplant - Treated with new immunosuppression therapy for new (or relapse/flare of pre-existing) kidney disease within the last 60 days - Receiving more than one Renin-Angiotensin System (RAS) inhibitor (i.e. on dual therapy with two of an Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme inhibitor (ACEi), Angiotensin Receptor Blocker (ARB) or direct renin inhibitor) - Currently treated with an Mineralocorticoid Receptor Antagonist (MRA) (e.g. spironolactone, eplerenone, finerenone) - Currently treated with systemic mineralocorticoid replacement therapy (e.g. fludrocortisone) Further exclusion criteria apply.
