Trial design
Randomised, open-label, guideline care (standard care) is the comparator arm (described as 'guideline care'); biomarker response-guided treatment arm uses authorized medications listed in the dossier (finerenone — max daily 10 mg, oral; dapagliflozin — max daily 10 mg, oral; ambrisentan — max daily 2.5 mg, oral). specific arm dosing schedules are not detailed beyond product max daily doses.-controlled trial across 6 sites in Denmark, Germany, Italy and others.
