Brief summary
International, Multicenter and Double-Blind study. The purpose is to measure the effect of baxdrostat in combination with dapagliflozin compared with baxdrostat/placebo on albuminuria, as well as safety, in participants with chronic kidney disease and high blood pressure.
Detailed description
This is a Phase IIb, randomised, multicentre, double-blind, parallel-group study aiming to determine the effect on albuminuria, as well as safety, of baxdrostat/dapagliflozin compared with baxdrostat/placebo, when given to participants with CKD and high blood pressure. Study population will include participants ≥ 18 years old with CKD. Participants with or without a diagnosis of T2DM and with or without an SGLT2i treatment at screening are eligible for the study. The study will include an optional pre-screening period, where participants will be assessed for at least one of the following parameters: eGFR, UACR, potassium, sodium, and BP. Participants who are being treated with SGLT2i at the time of the screening visit will complete a washout period After screening and initial confirmation of eligibility, participants will be randomised to receive either baxdrostat/dapagliflozin or baxdrostat/placebo. For randomisation there will be stratification and capping linked to T2DM status. The primary objective is to assess the effect of baxdrostat/dapagliflozin compared with baxdrostat/matching placebo on albuminuria, which will be evaluated by change from baseline in UACR. The end of the study is defined as the date of the last visit of the last participant in the study or last scheduled procedure shown in the SoA for the last participant in the study globally, whichever occurs last. A participant is considered to have completed the study if they have completed all periods of the study including the last scheduled procedure shown in the SoA.

Masking description
The IRT/RTSM will provide to the Investigator(s) or pharmacist(s) the kit identification number to be allocated to the participant at the dispensing visit. The following personnel will be unblinded: * Personnel carrying out the packaging and labelling of study intervention treatment * Personnel generating the randomisation list Participants, site personnel, and AstraZeneca will be blinded to study intervention. AstraZeneca retains the right to break the code for SAEs that are unexpected and are suspected to be causally related to study intervention and that potentially require expedited reporting to regulatory authorities. Randomisation codes will not be broken for the planned analyses of data until all decisions on the evaluability of the data from each individual participant have been made and documented.
