What this phase means
Phase 3: this treatment already looked useful in smaller studies. Now it is tested in a large group, often against standard care or a dummy treatment, to see if it should be approved.
Phase labels are FDA/ICH categories applied to the registry Phase field. They are not a finding that this study succeeded.
What the registry says happens
If you join, the listed intervention(s) are Balcinrenone/dapagliflozin, Dapagliflozin, or Placebo matching Dapagliflozin. The registry lists allocation as randomized. This study wants to measure the how well it works, whether it is safe and how hard side effects are to live with of balcinrenone in fixed combination with dapagliflozin, compared with dapagliflozin, in patients with CKD Stage 3b and 4 (eGFR ≥ 15 to \< 45 mL/min/1.73 m2) administered orally once daily in addition to SoC.
They plan to enroll about 2,800 people at 374 sites. Taking part typically means taking a study drug (or dummy pill) plus check-ins.

Interventions: Balcinrenone/dapagliflozin, Dapagliflozin, Placebo matching Dapagliflozin, Placebo matching balcinrenone/dapagliflozin
Primary outcome (registry wording): Time to first occurrence of cardiovascular death, death from kidney failure, kidney failure, sustained 50% or greater decline in eGFR, and heart failure event
