Inclusion Criteria

2a:
1. Participant with a clinical diagnosis of chronic kidney disease (CKD) and
the following:
a. In Part A: eGFR 40-90 ml/min/1.73m^2 (with no more than 20% having an eGFR
>75 ml/min/1.73m^2) using Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration
(CKD EPI) formula at screening visit and at least one historical value of eGFR
<60 mL/min/1.73 m^2 within 3 months or have a registered diagnosis of CKD.
b. In Part B: eGFR 30-90 ml/min/1.73m^2 (with no more than 20% having an eGFR
>75 ml/min/1.73m^2) using CKD-EPI formula at screening visit and at least one
historical value of eGFR <60 mL/min/1.73 m^2 within 3 months or have a
registered diagnostic of CKD.
2b:
c. 100 <=UACR <5000 mg/g at screening visit (mean value from 3 morning void
samples) and documentation of albuminuria/proteinuria (quantitative or
semi-quantitative measurement) in the participant*s medical records at least 3
months prior to screening
2. Participant with type 2 diabetes (T2D) as defined by the American Diabetes
Association (ADA 2021), with glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) at screening <11%.
3. Participant treated with the clinically maximum tolerated dose, as per
investigator judgment, of angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor (ACEi) or
angiotensin receptor blocker (ARB), but not both, for more than 1 month at
screening visit.

Exclusion Criteria

1. Participants with type 1 diabetes (T1D).
2. Participant with hepatic insufficiency classified as Child-Pugh C.
3. Participant with blood pressure at Day 1 (Visit 2) visit higher than 160 SBP
or 100 DBP or systolic blood pressure lower than 90 mmHg.
4. Participant currently treated with a sodium/glucose cotransporter-2
inhibitor (SGLT2i) or SGLT-1/2i or who received a SGLT2i or SGLT-1/2i which
cannot be discontinued at least 8 weeks prior to the screening visit and during
study intervention treatment.
5. Participant treated with another mineralocorticoid receptor antagonist (MRA)
(e.g., eplerenone, esaxerenone, spironolactone, canrenone), a renin inhibitor,
potassium supplements, a potassium sparing diuretic (e.g., amiloride,
triamterene), a potassium binder agent, or angiotensin receptor-neprilysin
inhibitor (ARNI) which cannot be discontinued at least 8 weeks prior to the
screening visit and during study intervention treatment.
6. Participants currently treated or who were treated with Finerenone
(Kerendia©) within 8 weeks prior to the screening visit.
7. Participant with serum/plasma potassium (K+) above 4.8 mmol/L at screening.
