Inclution Criteria
Prior to any study-specific procedures, signed and dated written informed consent in accordance with the International Council for Harmonisation (ICH) Good Clinical Practice (GCP) guidelines and applicable local laws.
Male or female participants. Women of childbearing potential (WOCBP) must be willing and able to use a highly effective method of contraception as defined in ICH M3 (R2)—that is, a method with a failure rate of less than 1% per year when used consistently and correctly. The participant information sheet provides a list of acceptable methods and required durations of use.
Participants with a history of hypertension (HTN) who are receiving active pharmacologic treatment based on best achievable standard of care (SOC) in accordance with relevant local or international guidelines, as judged by the investigator.
Participants with a history of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) who are receiving active pharmacologic treatment based on best achievable SOC in accordance with relevant local or international guidelines, as judged by the investigator.
Participants with established cardiovascular (CV) disease who are receiving active pharmacologic treatment based on best achievable SOC in accordance with relevant local or international guidelines, as judged by the investigator. Established CV disease includes at least one of the following: coronary artery disease, peripheral artery disease, or cerebrovascular disease.
Coronary artery disease (CAD) is defined as:
▪ Previous myocardial infarction (MI) or prior coronary revascularization (e.g., coronary artery bypass grafting [CABG] or percutaneous coronary intervention [PCI]),
or
▪ ≥ 50% stenosis demonstrated by coronary angiography or other coronary imaging (e.g., coronary CT angiography), or presence of bypass grafts.
Peripheral artery disease (PAD) (symptomatic or asymptomatic) is defined as:
▪ Prior limb angioplasty, stenting, or bypass surgery,
or
▪ Prior amputation of a limb or foot due to circulatory insufficiency,
or
▪ Angiographic or non-invasive evidence of ≥ 50% stenosis in at least one limb or vascular territory,
or
▪ Ankle–brachial index < 0.9 in at least one limb with symptoms of intermittent claudication.
Cerebrovascular disease is defined as:
▪ History of ischemic stroke (transient ischemic attack, hemorrhagic stroke, primary intracerebral hemorrhage, or subarachnoid hemorrhage are not eligible),
or
▪ Prior cerebrovascular revascularization (e.g., carotid endarterectomy and/or stenting).
At screening (Visit 1), presence of at least one additional risk factor for heart failure (HF), such as:
o Type 2 diabetes mellitus requiring insulin therapy,
or
o Elevated natriuretic peptides, defined as NT-proBNP > 125 pg/mL or BNP > 35 pg/mL (documented within the past 6 months or at screening [Visit 1])**,
or
o Evidence of left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH):
▪ History of LVH diagnosed by echocardiography or cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI),
or
▪ Evidence of LVH on 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG) according to the Sokolow-Lyon index: RV5 + SV1 > 3.5 mV,
or
o History of atrial fibrillation or atrial flutter,
or
o Multivessel disease, defined as PAD plus at least one of the following: CAD or cerebrovascular disease,
or
o Prescription of a loop diuretic for at least 30 days within the 3 months preceding screening (Visit 1),
or
o Mean systolic blood pressure ≥ 140 mmHg at screening (Visit 1) despite treatment with at least two antihypertensive agents,
or
o Urinary albumin-to-creatinine ratio (UACR) ≥ 200 mg/g (documented within the past 6 months or at screening [Visit 1])*.
* BNP/NT-proBNP or UACR measurements performed by a local laboratory within 6 months prior to screening are acceptable. At screening (Visit 1), NT-proBNP and UACR will be analyzed by a central laboratory.
Exclusion Criteria
At Screening (Visit 1), NT-proBNP > 600 pg/mL in participants with sinus rhythm, or NT-proBNP > 1200 pg/mL in participants with atrial fibrillation or atrial flutter (analyzed by the central laboratory).
At Screening (Visit 1), atrial fibrillation or atrial flutter with a resting heart rate > 110 bpm on ECG.
At Screening (Visit 1), untreated advanced conduction disorders (e.g., symptomatic bradycardia, sick sinus syndrome, Mobitz type II second-degree atrioventricular block, or third-degree heart block), or untreated clinically significant ventricular arrhythmias.
Treatment with mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists (MRAs; e.g., spironolactone, eplerenone, finerenone) within 2 weeks before Screening (Visit 1), or, in the investigator’s judgment, anticipated need for such treatment before Randomization (Visit 2) or during the study. MRA therapy should not be interrupted solely for study eligibility.
Treatment with amiloride or other potassium-sparing diuretics within 2 weeks before Screening (Visit 1), or, in the investigator’s judgment, anticipated need for such treatment before Randomization (Visit 2) or during the study.
At Screening (Visit 1), current treatment with, or anticipated need for before Randomization (Visit 2) or during the study, any of the following:
• Direct renin inhibitors (e.g., aliskiren)
• Concomitant use of more than one angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor (ACEi) and/or angiotensin receptor blocker (ARB) (including angiotensin receptor–neprilysin inhibitors [ARNi])
• Other aldosterone synthase inhibitors (e.g., baxdrostat)
• Systemic mineralocorticoid replacement therapy (e.g., fludrocortisone)
Use of potassium binders (e.g., sodium zirconium cyclosilicate, patiromer, or sodium polystyrene sulfonate) within 4 weeks before Screening (Visit 1).
History of hyperkalemia requiring hospitalization within 12 weeks before Screening (Visit 1).
Serum potassium > 5.2 mmol/L measured by the central laboratory at Screening (Visit 1). Note: one retest of serum potassium is allowed during screening.
Impaired renal function, defined as eGFR < 20 mL/min/1.73 m² (calculated by CKD-EPI formula) at Screening (Visit 1) by the central laboratory, or currently receiving renal replacement therapy. Note: one retest of eGFR is allowed during screening.

Any condition expected to limit life expectancy to < 1 year, as determined by the investigator.
Current or planned use of prohibited medications or any drugs considered likely to interfere with study conduct or safety.
Anticipated non-compliance with the study protocol or inability to complete study procedures (e.g., chronic alcohol or drug abuse, or any condition rendering the participant unreliable in the investigator’s opinion).
Previous randomization in this study.
Current participation in another investigational drug or device study, or completion of such a study or investigational treatment less than 30 days before Screening (Visit 1). Participation in purely observational studies is permitted.
