- Yes
- Comparator
- Placebo coated tablet 002 to bay 948862 coated tablet (oral placebo); Kerendia (finerenone) 10 mg film coated tablets (oral) and Kerendia 20 mg film-coated tablets (oral). Product details: Kerendia 10 mg (marketing authorisation EU/1/21/1616/002), Kerendia 20 mg (marketing authorisation EU/1/21/1616/007). Specific dosing schedule/frequency for administration not specified in provided data.
- Adaptive
- True, adaptive platform design (CAPTIVATE) with multiple investigational agents or combinations and domain-specific appendices (e.g., MRA DSA). The design allows addition of domain-specific interventions/sub-studies and subsequent additions of Member State Concerned (AM-1). Specific dose-escalation rules, interim analyses or formal stopping rules are not detailed in the provided data.
