Amendment 3 (22 Mar 2023)
This amendment is considered to be non-substantial based on the criteria set forth in 
Article 10(a) of Directive 2001/20/EC of the European Parliament and the Council of the 
European Union.
Overall Rationale for the Amendment:
The amended CSP (Amendment 2, dated 05 April 2022) was updated to provide clarification, 
align wording with recent CSP template, and to reflect that some of the exploratory endpoints 
will not be reported in the CSR.

PROTOCOL SUMMARY
1.1
Synopsis
Protocol Title: A Phase 2b Multicentre, Randomised, Double-Blind, Active-Controlled, 
Parallel Group Dose-Ranging Study to Assess the Efficacy, Safety and Tolerability of 
Zibotentan and Dapagliflozin in Patients with Chronic Kidney Disease with Estimated 
Glomerular Filtration Rate (eGFR) ≥20 mL/min/1.73 m2
Brief Title: Zibotentan and Dapagliflozin for the Treatment of CKD (ZENITH-CKD trial)
Rationale: Patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) have limited treatment options with 
current standard of care (SoC). The mechanisms of action of zibotentan and dapagliflozin are 
different and the outcome of combined treatment is expected to be synergistic, since the main 
biological effects of zibotentan are to block endothelin-1-dependent vasoconstriction and 
hypertension, to increase renal blood flow, and to reduce podocyte loss, vascular stiffness, 
endothelial dysfunction, fibrosis and inflammation; and of dapagliflozin are to inhibit 
sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 (SGLT2) to increase urinary excretion of glucose, sodium 
and water, to improve metabolic health, decrease vascular stiffness, improve endothelial 
function, and decrease oxidative stress and inflammation. Both mechanisms show efficacy in 
reducing albuminuria in CKD. However, unlocking the renal benefit of endothelin antagonists 
requires mitigation of their potential to cause fluid retention and to increase the risk of 
developing heart failure (HF) in some patients.
Objectives, Endpoints and Estimands:
Objectives
Estimand Description/Endpoints
Primary
!
To evaluate the effect of zibotentan 
1.5 mg/dapagliflozin 10 mg versus dapagliflozin 
10 mg monotherapy on UACR.
!
Change in log-transformed UACR from 
baseline to Week 12.
The primary estimand is a hypothetical estimand such 
that the treatment effect is quantified in the optimal 
situation where any potential confounder is avoided. 
The population of interest is the Full Analysis 
population. Participants will be included in the 
analysis if they have a non-missing baseline and at 
least one post-treatment visit UACR measurement.
For the intercurrent events, if a participant is lost to 
follow up, prematurely discontinues study treatment,
or uses a prohibited medication, the UACR data are 
treated as missing after the event and no imputation is 
performed. The summary measure being evaluated is 
the geometric mean reduction of UACR from 
baseline to Week 12.

Overall Design:
This is a Phase 2b, multicentre, randomised, double-blind, active-controlled, parallel group 
dose-ranging study to assess the efficacy, safety and tolerability of zibotentan and 
dapagliflozin in participants with CKD with eGFR ≥20 mL/min/1.73 m2, and UACR
≥150 mg/g and ≤5000 mg/g.
The study will be conducted in approximately 220 sites in North America, South America,

Africa, Asia/Pacific, and European countries.
An internal Unblinded Review Committee (URC) of AstraZeneca representatives is set up for 
this study for ongoing safety monitoring and reviewing the unblinded interim results. In 
addition to general safety/tolerability, the URC will focus on potential risks related to 
hypotension and hospitalisations due to HF. Changes in fluid-related measures (weight gain or 
B-type natriuretic peptide [BNP]) that meet the defined threshold will be reported as an event 
of special interest.
Participants will be randomised to 12 weeks of treatment plus 2 weeks follow-up.
Participants who meet the eligibility criteria will be randomised to study treatments in addition 
to receiving background local SoC therapy. Participants who were previously randomised
cannot be re-randomised.
Participants will be stratified by diabetes (diabetic kidney disease [DKD] versus non-diabetes 
mellitus [non-DM] CKD) and baseline eGFR (below or equal versus above 
45 mL/min/1.73m2) at the time of randomisation to ensure an approximate balance between 
treatment arms within each sub-population. The number of randomised participants in each 
stratum will be monitored to ensure the non-DM CKD sub-population is approximately a 
minimum of 30% and a maximum of 50% of the total number of participants randomised.
Disclosure Statement:
The study is participant, investigator, and Sponsor (with the exception of the URC) blinded.
Participants will be randomised into one of the three arms (zibotentan 1.5 mg/dapagliflozin 
10 mg combination arm, zibotentan 0.25 mg/dapagliflozin 10 mg combination arm or 
dapagliflozin 10 mg monotherapy arm) in a 2:1:2 allocation.
Number of Participants:
A total of 495 participants will be randomised into this study, including participants 
randomised under the earlier design. Four hundred and fifteen (415) participants will be 
randomised to have 166 participants in the zibotentan 1.5 mg/dapagliflozin 10 mg 
combination arm and dapagliflozin 10 mg monotherapy arm, and 83 participants in the 
zibotentan 0.25 mg/dapagliflozin 10 mg combination arm. 
Intervention Groups and Duration:
Eligible participants will be randomised to either of the following treatments, in addition to 
receiving background local SoC therapy:
!
Zibotentan 0.25 mg + Dapagliflozin 10 mg once daily.
!
Zibotentan 1.5 mg + Dapagliflozin 10 mg once daily.

Dapagliflozin 10 mg once daily.
To ensure blinding to treatment and zibotentan dose, daily dosing will consist of one 
dapagliflozin tablet, containing dapagliflozin 10 mg and one zibotentan capsule containing 
zibotentan 1.5 mg, zibotentan 0.25 mg or placebo.
For each participant, the total duration of participation will be approximately 17 to 19 weeks. 
The screening period can be up to approximately 4 weeks in duration prior to randomisation. 
The first dose will be taken after randomisation at the baseline visit on Day 1. In addition to 
the baseline visit, the participant will visit the clinic 5 times during the following 12 weeks of 
treatment. Approximately 2 weeks after the last dose, the participant will visit the clinic again 
for a follow-up assessment.
Data Monitoring Committee:
An internal URC of AstraZeneca representatives is set up for this study for ongoing safety 
monitoring and reviewing the unblinded interim results.
Statistical Methods:
The primary hypothesis for this study is that zibotentan 1.5 mg and dapagliflozin 10 mg in 
combination will reduce UACR compared with dapagliflozin 10 mg monotherapy. The 
secondary hypothesis for this study is that zibotentan 0.25 mg combined with dapagliflozin
10 mg will reduce UACR compared with dapagliflozin 10 mg monotherapy. Dose-response 
for the reduction in UACR, as a function of the zibotentan dose, as combined with 
dapagliflozin, will be evaluated.
With a 1-sided 5% type I error, 150 evaluable participants in the zibotentan 1.5 mg and 
dapagliflozin 10 mg arm and dapagliflozin 10 mg monotherapy arm will have approximately 
% power to detect a dapagliflozin-corrected UACR reduction of 
% or more assuming a 
SD of 
 on the natural log-scale. In the DKD sub-population (which will be about 70% of 
the total population), the power to detect the same reduction is estimated to be 
%.
For the dose-response models, the sample size below will have at least 
% power across 
multiple dose-response models to detect dose-response significance. This assumes a 1-sided 
type I error of 5% and a maximum UACR reduction of 
% for the zibotentan 1.5 mg and 
dapagliflozin 10 mg combination arm relative to dapagliflozin.
!
Zibotentan/Dapagliflozin dose = 0/10 mg: n = 150.
!
Zibotentan/Dapagliflozin dose = 0.25/10 mg: n = 77.

A first administrative interim analysis will be performed when 50% of participants have 
completed 6 weeks of treatment of the study. A second administrative interim analysis will be 
performed after 100% of participants have completed the 6 weeks treatment or at a time 
selected by sponsor / percentage of participants with a planned week 6 visit before data cut 
selected by sponsor. The objective of the administrative interim analyses will be to decide if 
an 
 zibotentan/dapagliflozin project activities is 
 
 on the interim data.
The analysis of all efficacy variables will be performed on the Full Analysis Set (FAS) with a 
hypothetical estimand. In addition, the primary efficacy endpoint will also be analysed using 
the Per Protocol Analysis Set (PPS), and a treatment policy estimand as sensitivity analyses.
The primary efficacy endpoint for this study is the change in log-transformed UACR from 
baseline to Week 12 for zibotentan 1.5 mg combined with dapagliflozin 10 mg versus 
dapagliflozin 10 mg monotherapy. UACR will be log-transformed and analysed using a mixed 
model repeated measures (MMRM) method. The values will be back transformed onto the 
original scale to give the geometric mean relative change from baseline to Week 12. The 
analysis model will include the fixed categorical effects of stratification factor, treatment, 
visit, and treatment-by-visit interaction, plus the continuous covariates of baseline log(UACR) 
and baseline log(UACR)-by-visit interaction. An unstructured covariance structure will be 
used for the within-participant errors.
As a secondary efficacy endpoint for this study, the change in UACR for doses of 0.25 mg 
zibotentan combined with dapagliflozin 10 mg versus dapagliflozin 10 mg monotherapy from 
baseline (Visit 2) to Week 12 (Visit 7) will be assessed. A MMRM model similar to that 
described for the primary endpoints will be fitted.
The dose-response relationship between different doses of zibotentan/a fixed dose of
dapagliflozin and UACR reduction will be characterised by assessing the UACR reduction 
analysed in primary and first secondary objective.
The change from baseline (Visit 2) to Week 12 (Visit 7) in office systolic and diastolic blood 
pressure (BP) will be assessed for doses of zibotentan combined with dapagliflozin 10 mg
versus dapagliflozin 10 mg monotherapy.
The effect of different doses of zibotentan and dapagliflozin in combination versus 
dapagliflozin 10 mg monotherapy on eGFR will be determined from the change in eGFR from 
baseline to Week 1, Week 12, and Week 14, and from Week 1 to Week 12.
These secondary variables of BP and eGFR will be analysed using ANCOVA, adjusting for 
stratification factors, treatment arm, and baseline. The FAS will be used for these analyses.

INTRODUCTION
Zibotentan is a selective ETA receptor antagonist, originally investigated for cardiovascular 
and oncology indications. Zibotentan is currently being investigated as a treatment for CKD in 
combination with dapagliflozin.
Dapagliflozin is a highly potent, selective, and reversible inhibitor of SGLT2 that improves 
glycaemic control in patients with diabetes mellitus and provides cardiorenal benefits in 
patients with T2DM and without diabetes. Dapagliflozin is orally available and requires 
once daily dosing.
2.1
Study Rationale
Patients with CKD have limited treatment options with current SoC.
The mechanisms of action (MoA) of zibotentan and dapagliflozin are different and the 
outcome of combined treatment is expected to be synergistic, since the main biological effects 
of zibotentan are to block endothelin-1-dependent vasoconstriction and hypertension, to 
increase renal blood flow, and to reduce podocyte loss, vascular stiffness, endothelial 
dysfunction, fibrosis and inflammation; and of dapagliflozin are to inhibit SGLT2 to increase 
urinary excretion of glucose, sodium and water, to improve metabolic health, decrease 
vascular stiffness, improve endothelial function, and decrease oxidative stress and 
inflammation. Both mechanisms show efficacy in reducing albuminuria in CKD. However, 
unlocking the renal benefit of endothelin antagonists requires mitigation of their potential to 
cause fluid retention and to increase the risk of developing HF in some patients.
2.2
Background
Chronic Kidney Disease
CKD is a serious progressive condition defined by decreased kidney function (shown by 
reduced eGFR), or markers of kidney damage (eg, albuminuria), or both, for at least 3 months. 
CKD is associated with increased risk of HF (Dhingra et al, 2011), CV and all-cause death 
(Munter et al, 2002; Webster et al, 2017), therapy resistant hypertension (Tanner et al, 2013), 
and chronic fluid overload (Agarwal, 2012). Most patients with CKD stages 3-4 will die of 
CV causes rather than progress to ESKD and die of renal failure; when a patient does progress 
to ESKD, decline of kidney function has progressed to a point where dialysis or 
transplantation is required. The most common causes of CKD are diabetes (42%) and 
hypertension (17%); glomerulonephritis of varying aetiologies accounts for a further 18% of 
cases (Xie et al, 2018).
Potential for SGLT2 Inhibitors (SGLT2i) in CKD
Guidelines are starting to adopt SGLT2i as SoC. Kidney Disease Improving Global Outcomes 
guidelines will recommend SGLT2 inhibitors as SoC for patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus

(T2DM) and CKD (KDIGO, 2022). National Institute for Health and Care Excellence 
guidelines will recommend dapagliflozin be used as an add-on to optimised standard care 
(NICE, 2022). Angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEi) and angiotensin receptor 
blockers (ARB) have been used as SoC for decades but confer incomplete protection. 
Sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 inhibitors also slow CKD progression, in part by lowering 
intraglomerular pressure (Wanner et al, 2016). It has been postulated that the kidney 
protection and natriuretic effects induced by SGLT2i may account for the reductions in HF 
hospitalisation in the EMPA-REG OUTCOME, CANVAS, and DECLARE-TIMI 58 studies
(Zelniker et al, 2019). Moreover, the reduction in HF hospitalisation in these studies was 
greater in patients with worse baseline renal function: a 40% reduction in HF hospitalisation 
was observed in patients with eGFR < 60 mL/min/1.73 m2 compared with 31% in patients 
with eGFR between 60 to 90 mL/min/1.73 m2 and 12% in patients with eGFR 
> 90 mL/min/1.73 m2 (Zelniker et al, 2019). Dapagliflozin also reduced UACR by 21% in 
T2DM patients in the DELIGHT study (Pollock et al, 2019). In the recent DAPA-HF study, 
dapagliflozin demonstrated a reassuring safety profile over a broad range of renal functions
(including patients with eGFR < 45 and a few < 30 mL/min/1.73 m2). Dapagliflozin was
investigated in patients with CKD in the DAPA-CKD study (NCT03036150) which 
demonstrated a 39% reduction in the primary outcome: a composite of a sustained decline in 
estimated GFR of at least 50%, end-stage kidney disease, or death from renal or 
cardiovascular causes (Heerspink et al, 2020).
Hypertension and Endothelial Dysfunction in CKD
Hypertension is common in CKD and is an independent risk factor for CKD progression: 75% 
of patients with eGFR < 30 mL/min/1.73 m2 have BP values > 140/90 mmHg
(Bakris et al, 2000). The majority of CKD patients fail to reach target BP (NICE, 2022) 
despite a predominantly antihypertensive MoA with current SoC (ACEi or ARB).
Endothelial dysfunction makes a significant contribution to cardiovascular risk in CKD 
(Linden et al, 2008) and can be linked to production of the potent vasoconstrictor endothelin-1 
(ET-1). Plasma ET-1 levels are inversely correlated with eGFR (Dhaun et al, 2015). ET-1 
signals through the ETA and ETB receptors. ETA receptor blockade lowers BP, increases renal 
perfusion, reduces intraglomerular pressure, and also has an anti-inflammatory effect in the 
kidney. ETB blockade is less desirable because this receptor has an important and beneficial 
effect in clearing circulating ET-1 via the lungs. Furthermore, preclinical and clinical data 
have identified a likely class effect of both ETA and ETB antagonists to reduce the natriuretic 
effect of ET-1 in the renal collecting duct.
Rationale for the Development of Zibotentan
Endothelin-1, an agonist of the ETA and ETB receptors synthesised by vascular endothelial 
cells, is one of the most potent vasoconstrictors in humans and can worsen renal function in 
CKD (De Miguel et al, 2016). ETA receptor antagonists have shown efficacy for urine

albumin to creatinine ratio reduction in patients with CKD (Heerspink et al, 2019, 
Mann et al, 2010, De Zeeuw et al, 2014). Recently, the ETA receptor antagonist atrasentan 
reported a 35% reduction in a renal composite endpoint in the SONAR trial, although the trial 
was stopped due to too few renal endpoint events (Heerspink et al, 2019). The main biological 
effects of zibotentan relevant for treatment of CKD would be to block ETA-driven 
hypertension, reduce vascular stiffness, improve renal blood flow and endothelial function, 
and decrease podocyte loss, inflammation, and fibrosis.
However, unlocking the potential of ETA receptor antagonists in the treatment of CKD 
requires mitigation of their potential sodium and fluid retention risk. The zibotentan CKD 
development programme is investigating zibotentan in combination with dapagliflozin. 
Coadministration of dapagliflozin with zibotentan is expected to mitigate zibotentan’s 
potential sodium and fluid retention due to the intrinsic diuretic and natriuretic effects of 
SGLT2 inhibition. Further, dapagliflozin and other SGLT2i have demonstrated 
nephroprotective effects (Mosenzon et al, 2019, Perkovic et al, 2019, Scholtes et al, 2020); 
SGLT2 inhibition leads to a physiological adaptation in the kidney due to altered glucose, 
sodium, and water handling, and improved metabolic flexibility, mitochondrial function, and 
overall fluid balance. The combination of zibotentan and dapagliflozin for treatment of CKD 
is expected to be additive, since their mechanisms of action are different.
Detailed descriptions of the chemistry, pharmacology, efficacy, and safety of zibotentan and 
dapagliflozin are provided in the respective Investigator’s Brochures.
2.3
Benefit/Risk Assessment
Fluid retention is believed to be a class effect of endothelin receptor antagonists that limits 
their potential use as monotherapy. Clinical data and scientific rationale support a 
zibotentan/dapagliflozin fixed dose combination (FDC) that combines 2 different and 
complementary MoAs targeting the underlining mechanisms of CKD progression. The 
potential fluid retention risk from zibotentan is believed to be mitigated by a lower dose than 
5 mg zibotentan, combined with the diuretic and natriuretic effects of dapagliflozin. The
interim analyses and frequent site visits will also mitigate the known risks of zibotentan.
An internal Unblinded Review Committee (URC) of AstraZeneca representatives is set up for 
this study for ongoing safety monitoring and reviewing the unblinded interim results. In 
addition to general safety/tolerability, the URC will focus on potential risks related to 
hypotension and hospitalisations due to HF. Changes in fluid-related measures (weight gain or 
BNP) that meet the defined threshold (Section 7.1) will be reported as an event of special 
interest.
More detailed information about the known and expected benefits and potential risks of
zibotentan and dapagliflozin may be found in the respective Investigator’s Brochures.

Diabetic ketoacidosis 
in patients with 
diabetes mellitus
Diabetic ketoacidosis was only observed in patients with 
diabetes mellitus:
•
Type 2 diabetes mellitus:
In the cardiovascular outcome study DECLARE
TIMI-58 in T2DM, 8574 patients received 
dapagliflozin 10 mg and 8569 patients received 
placebo, for a median exposure time of 48 months. 
Events of DKA were reported in 27 patients in the 
dapagliflozin 10 mg group and 12 patients in the 
placebo group. The events occurred evenly 
distributed over the study period. Of the 27 patients 
with DKA events in the dapagliflozin group, 22 had 
concomitant insulin treatment at the time of the 
event. Precipitating factors for DKA were as 
expected in a T2DM population.
In clinical trials in subjects with heart failure 
(DAPA-HF) or chronic kidney disease 
(DAPA-CKD) with and without T2DM, events of 
ketoacidosis were only observed in subjects with 
T2DM. In the DAPA-HF study, events of DKA 
were reported in 3 patients with T2DM in the 
dapagliflozin group and none in the placebo group. 
In the DAPA-CKD study, events of DKA were not 
reported in any patient in the dapagliflozin group 
and in 2 patients with T2DM in the placebo group.
•
Type 1 diabetes mellitus:
In the 2 placebo-controlled clinical trials of 
dapagliflozin in type 1 diabetes mellitus, patients 
were advised to monitor blood ketones in case of 
suspected symptoms of DKA and seek medical 
advice/attention if their self-measured blood ketone 
reading was ≥0.6 mmol/L. In the pooled 24-week 
data, events of DKA were reported in 11 (1.9%) 
patients in the dapagliflozin 10 mg group and 
3 (0.6%) patients in the placebo group. DKA events 
occurred evenly distributed over the study period. 
Inadequate insulin doses (missed insulin dose or 
insulin pump failure) were the most common 
precipitating factors. Three of the 11 patients with 
DKA in the dapagliflozin 10 mg group had blood 
glucose in the euglycemic range (< 14 mmol/L or 
250 mg/dL). Patients with DKA events responded 
to conventional treatment for DKA.
In addition, there have been post marketing reports 
of ketoacidosis, including diabetic ketoacidosis, in 
patients with T1DM and T2DM taking 
dapagliflozin or other SGLT2i.
Patients with T1DM are excluded 
from the study (see exclusion 
criteria #10).
DKA including euglycemic DKA 
have been reported with use of 
dapagliflozin. Consider temporary 
interrupting study treatment if DKA 
is suspected. The participant should 
be promptly evaluated.
If diabetic ketoacidosis is 
confirmed, study intervention
should be discontinued 
permanently. If diabetic 
ketoacidosis is not confirmed, 
restart of study intervention should 
be considered (see Section 7.1).

Mitigation Strategy
Zibotentan (in context of dapagliflozin combination treatment)
Fluid retention
Peripheral oedema has been very commonly reported in 
patients receiving zibotentan and tend to develop within a 
month of commencing the drug. Most cases are mild 
(CTC Grade 1/2) and tend to resolve with continued 
dosing.
The potential fluid retention risk 
from zibotentan will be mitigated by 
administering a dose lower than 
5 mg of zibotentan, combined with 
the diuretic and natriuretic effects of 
dapagliflozin.
Interim analyses are performed to 
assess changes in fluid-related 
measures (weight gain or BNP).
Changes in fluid-related measures 
that meet the defined threshold will 
be reported as an event of special 
interest.
Discontinuation from study 
intervention if fluid retention 
criteria are met (see criteria for 
weight or BNP in Section 7.1).
Heart failure
Endothelin receptor antagonists have the potential to 
cause fluid retention and risk of increased incidence of 
HF.
Exclusion criteria related to 
presence or risk of HF (see 
Section 5.2, exclusion criteria #3 to 
#8 and #30).
Administration of a dose lower than 
5 mg of zibotentan, combined with 
the diuretic and natriuretic effects of 
dapagliflozin.
An internal URC of AstraZeneca 
representatives is set up for this 
study for ongoing safety monitoring 
and reviewing the unblinded interim 
results. In addition to general 
safety/tolerability, the URC will 
focus on potential risks related to 
hospitalisations due to HF.
Discontinuation based on heart 
failure or the defined BNP elevation
criteria (see Section 7.1).
Hypotension
Adverse clinical effect of hypotension is largely due to 
zibotentan’s pharmacologically mediated effects of ET 
receptor antagonism resulting in vasodilation. 
Hypotension (small reductions in systolic and diastolic 
BP of approximately 5 mmHg) has been reported with 
zibotentan but this has usually been asymptomatic.
Monitoring of BP according to the 
SoA. The URC will focus on 
potential risks related to 
hypotension.
Discontinuation from study 
intervention if criteria for
symptomatic hypotension is met 
(systolic BP < 90 mmHg and/or 
diastolic BP < 60 with symptoms).

risks
There is currently an outbreak of respiratory disease 
(COVID-19) caused by a novel SARS-CoV-2, for which 
the World Health Organization declared a pandemic 
situation on 12 March 2020.
The mechanism of action of either zibotentan and/or
dapagliflozin are unlikely to impact the course of 
infection with SARS-CoV-2. Therefore, the risk to
participants of exposure to SARS-CoV-2 or of suffering
from COVID 19 is expected to be similar to the 
background population with the same co-morbidities as 
those in the study, in particular CKD. The risk of 
exposure to infected people cannot be completely 
excluded as the participants may need to expose 
themselves to public areas (eg, commute to the site) and 
have additional human contact (eg, with site staff and 
other participants of the clinical study).
Exclusion of participants with 
COVID-19 infections.

2.3.2 Benefit Assessment
Based on available clinical data with zibotentan and dapagliflozin, it is expected that 
participants in this study will benefit from treatment with dapagliflozin and zibotentan:
!
Recently, a member of the SGLT2i class, canagliflozin, demonstrated efficacy in patients 
with diabetic nephropathy (Perkovic et al, 2019) and received indications for reductions 
of renal outcomes in adults with T2DM and diabetic nephropathy and albuminuria. 
Nephroprotective effects were reported for dapagliflozin (Mosenzon et al, 2019, 
Scholtes et al, 2020). New clinical guidelines on the management of CKD have 
established SGLT2 inhibitors as a SoC.
!
Coadministration of dapagliflozin with zibotentan is expected to mitigate zibotentan’s 
potential sodium and fluid retention, and the combination as a treatment for CKD is 
expected to have additive nephroprotective effects, since their mechanisms of action are 
different.
2.3.3 Overall Benefit: Risk Conclusion
The overall clinical evidence suggests that the combination of zibotentan and dapagliflozin 
would have clinical benefit, and an acceptable safety profile in patients with CKD and that

STUDY DESIGN
4.1
Overall Design
This is a Phase 2b, multicentre, randomised, double-blind, active-controlled, parallel group 
dose-ranging study to assess the efficacy, safety and tolerability of zibotentan and 
dapagliflozin in participants with CKD with eGFR ≥20 mL/min/1.73 m2, and UACR
≥150 mg/g and ≤5000 mg/g.
The study will be conducted in approximately 220 sites in North America, South America, 
Africa, Asia/Pacific, and European countries.
Participants will be randomised to 12 weeks of treatment plus 2 weeks follow-up. All the 
variables will be collected to verify the inclusion criteria and additional demographic data 
such as race/ethnicity, serum creatinine, and height.
Participants who meet the eligibility criteria will be randomised to study treatments in addition 
to receiving background local SoC therapy. To ensure blinding to treatment and zibotentan 
dose, daily dosing will consist of one dapagliflozin tablet, containing dapagliflozin 10 mg and 
one zibotentan capsule containing zibotentan 1.5 mg, zibotentan 0.25 mg or placebo.
A total of 495 participants will be randomised into this study, including participants
randomised under the earlier study design. Four hundred and fifteen (415) participants will be 
randomised to have 166 participants in zibotentan 1.5 mg/dapagliflozin 10 mg combination 
arm and dapagliflozin 10 mg monotherapy arm, and 83 participants in the zibotentan 
0.25 mg/dapagliflozin 10 mg combination arm.
!
Zibotentan 0.25 mg + Dapagliflozin 10 mg once daily.
!
Zibotentan 1.5 mg + Dapagliflozin 10 mg once daily.
!
Dapagliflozin 10 mg once daily.
Participants who were previously randomised cannot be re-randomised.
Participants will be stratified by diabetes (DKD versus non-DM CKD) and baseline eGFR 
(below or equal versus above 45 mL/min/1.73m2) at the time of randomisation to ensure an 
approximate balance between treatment arms within each sub-population. The number of 
randomised participants in each stratum will be monitored to ensure the non-DM CKD 
sub-population is approximately a minimum of 30% and a maximum of 50% of the total 
number of participants randomised.
A first administrative interim analysis will be performed when 50% of participants have 
completed 6 weeks of treatment. A second administrative interim analysis will be performed

after 100% of participants have completed the 6 weeks treatment or at a time selected by 
sponsor / percentage of participants with a planned week 6 visit before data cut selected by 
sponsor.
For each participant, the total duration of participation will be approximately 17 to 19 weeks. 
The screening period can be up to approximately 4 weeks in duration prior to randomisation. 
The first dose will be taken after randomisation at the baseline visit on Day 1. In addition to 
the baseline visit, the participant will visit the clinic 5 times during the following 12 weeks of 
treatment. Approximately 2 weeks after the last dose, the participant will visit the clinic again 
for a follow-up assessment.
4.2
Scientific Rationale for Study Design
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the effect of zibotentan 1.5 mg and 
dapagliflozin 10 mg in combination, compared to dapagliflozin 10 mg monotherapy, on 
UACR. The secondary objectives are to determine the change in UACR for zibotentan
0.25 mg combined with dapagliflozin 10 mg versus dapagliflozin 10 mg monotherapy, and the 
change in office systolic and diastolic BP for doses of zibotentan combined with dapagliflozin
10 mg versus dapagliflozin 10 mg monotherapy, to characterise the dose-response relationship 
of the different zibotentan/dapagliflozin doses and the UACR reduction, and to determine the 
effect of zibotentan and dapagliflozin in combination versus dapagliflozin 10 mg on eGFR.
UACR was chosen as a surrogate for renal outcomes based on the analyses presented at the 
2018 National Kidney Foundation (NKF)/FDA workshop on endpoints in CKD, which noted 
a strong and consistent relationship between change in UACR and the clinical outcome of 
kidney disease progression (Levey et al, 2020).
The study will evaluate general safety and tolerability of treatment with zibotentan and 
dapagliflozin in combination, compared with dapagliflozin monotherapy, with special focus 
on hypotension and hospitalisations due to HF. Changes in fluid-related measures (weight gain
or BNP) that meet the defined threshold (Section 7.1) will be reported as an event of special 
interest.
Exploratory objectives include assessment of PK, change in body weight, dose/exposure of
zibotentan relative to safety and PD variables, change in plasma/serum concentrations of K+, 
Na+, uric acid, BUN, fasting plasma glucose, haematocrit, haemoglobin, ET-1, ELDP, 
CT-proET-1, and copeptin levels, change in cardiovascular biomarkers in blood (NT-pro-BNP, 
BNP), and change in body fluid volume and distribution status. In addition, plasma, serum and 
urine samples will be collected and stored for potential future exploratory research aimed at 
exploring biomarkers relevant to cardiorenal mechanisms, inflammation, and fibrosis. 
Optional blood samples will be collected and stored for genetic research (according to each 
country’s local and ethical procedures).

This study is randomised and double-blinded to prevent bias in treatment allocation and in the
subjective assessment of effect of the study intervention in the intended study population. A
randomised, blinded, multicentre, active-controlled study design is considered the best design 
to achieve the objectives of the study, from both safety and efficacy perspectives.
4.3
Justification for Dose
Zibotentan
Zibotentan doses of 0.25, 1.5, and 5 mg (hereafter referred to as low, intermediate, and high 
dose, respectively) were initially selected to characterise the dose-UACR response 
relationship for zibotentan. Predictions were made using an exposure-UACR response model 
of clinical data from other ETA receptor antagonists, taking into account differences in PK and 
potency between the different compounds. Based on this model, 5 mg zibotentan was 
predicted to achieve a maximal UACR response. In participants with severe renal impairment, 
a dose of 5 mg will result in plasma exposure similar to that of 10 mg in subjects with normal 
renal function. Since 10 mg was associated with an increased fluid retention risk in earlier 
clinical studies, 5 mg was initially selected to be the highest dose used in this study involving 
a participant population with renal impairment. Based on the rate of fluid retention observed 
in an ad hoc safety interim analysis, randomisation to 5 mg zibotentan (both monotherapy and 
in combination with dapagliflozin) has been discontinued. The zibotentan 1.5 mg dose is 
predicted to cause less fluid retention than 5 mg, while at the same time producing meaningful 
UACR response, according to the model predictions. The zibotentan 0.25 mg dose was 
selected to be a minimally clinically relevant dose because it is predicted to produce a 20% or 
less reduction in UACR in addition to that with dapagliflozin.
Dapagliflozin
Dapagliflozin 10 mg is the approved dose for T2DM, CKD, and HF. 10 mg is the dose tested 
in DAPA-CKD for patients with CKD and an eGFR > 25 mL/min/1.73m2 (NCT03036150).
Based on available preclinical and clinical data, the risk for metabolic drug-drug interactions 
between zibotentan and dapagliflozin is regarded as low.
4.4
End of Study Definition
Participants are considered to have completed the study if they have completed all phases of 
the study including the follow-up visit as shown in the SoA (Table 1).
The end of the study is defined as the date of the last visit of the last participant in the study.

Male participants must be surgically sterile, abstinent, or in conjunction with a female 
sexual partner, using a highly effective method of contraception for the duration of the 
study (from the time they sign consent) and for 3 months after the last dose of 
investigational product to prevent any pregnancies. Male study participants must not 
donate or bank sperm during this same time period (see Section 8.3.8.2).
Methods that can achieve a failure rate of less than 1% per year when used consistently and 
correctly are considered highly effective birth control methods such as:
!
Combined (oestrogen and progesterone containing) hormonal contraception associated 
with inhibition of ovulation:
∀
Oral.
∀
Intravaginal.
∀
Transdermal.
!
Progesterone-only hormonal contraception associated with inhibition of ovulation:
∀
Oral.
∀
Injectable.
∀
Implantable.
!
Intrauterine device (IUD).
!
Intrauterine hormone-releasing system (IUS).
!
Bilateral tubal occlusion of female partner.
!
Male vasectomy.
!
True sexual abstinence.
True abstinence refers to: when this is in line with the preferred and usual lifestyle of the 
participant. Periodic abstinence (eg, calendar, ovulation, symptom-thermal, post-ovulation 
methods), declaration of abstinence for the duration of a trial, and withdrawal are not 
acceptable methods of contraception.

Investigational products should be taken at approximately the same time each morning
(no later than 12:00), and the time recorded by the participant in the diary (can be digital 
recording).
3
On certain days when participants will attend the study site for a study visit and 
assessments, they will be asked to not take their investigational products prior to 
attending the study visit (see Table 1). The participant will take the investigational 
product at the site, provided they are permitted to continue in the study following 
assessments.
4
On the day of the short PK profile assessments (sub-study), participants will be asked to 
come to the study site fasted and will be given a light standardised breakfast after taking 
the dose. This light meal should be approximately 350 kilocalories and should be sourced 
locally to meet cultural requirements.
5
Participants should fast prior to the collection of blood samples for HbA1c, cholesterol,
and lipids, on the days specified in the SoA. Fasting is defined as no caloric intake for at 
least 8 hours prior to the collection of the sample. Still or sparkling, unflavoured water is 
allowed during this period.
5.3.2
Tobacco
Participants who use tobacco products will be instructed that use of such products may be 
restricted while they are in the clinical unit.
5.3.3
Activity
Participants should try to maintain their normal activity, including medically prescribed levels
of exercise activities during the study.
5.4
Screen Failures
Screen failures are defined as participants who consent to participate in the clinical study but 
are not subsequently randomly assigned to study intervention. A minimal set of screen failure 
information is required to ensure transparent reporting of screen failure participants to meet
the Consolidated Standards of Reporting Trials (CONSORT) publishing requirements and to 
respond to queries from regulatory authorities. Minimal information includes demography, 
screen failure details, eligibility criteria, and any serious adverse event (SAE).
Individuals who do not meet the criteria for participation in this study (screen failure) may be 
fully re-screened once. However, a second re-screening is allowed if the participant was 
excluded due to a criterion that is not applicable any more in the current protocol version or if 
the participant was a screen failure due to the recruitment halt based on recommendation of 
the AstraZeneca URC. No more than two re-screenings are allowed for any participant. 
Re-screened participants should re-sign informed consent and be assigned the same participant

limited to the investigator and authorised site staff.
3)
The investigator, institution, or the head of the medical institution (where applicable) is 
responsible for study intervention accountability, reconciliation, and record maintenance 
(ie, receipt, reconciliation, and final disposition records).
4)
Further guidance and information for the final disposition of unused study interventions 
are provided in the Study Intervention Handling Instructions.
6.3
Measures to Minimise Bias: Randomisation and Blinding
All participants will be centrally assigned to randomised, blinded study intervention using an 
Interactive Response Technology/Randomisation and Trial Supply Management (IRT/RTSM). 
Before the study is initiated, the telephone number and call-in directions for the IRT and/or the 
log in information and directions for the RTSM will be provided to each site.
Participants will be stratified by diabetes (DKD versus non-DM CKD) and baseline eGFR 
(below or equal versus above 45 mL/min/1.73m2) at the time of randomisation to ensure an 
approximate balance between treatment arms within each sub-population.
!
Stratum 1: DKD participants with eGFR ≤45 mL/min/1.73m2.
!
Stratum 2: DKD participants with eGFR > 45 mL/min/1.73m2.
!
Stratum 3: non-DM CKD participants with eGFR ≤ 45 mL/min/1.73m2.
!
Stratum 4: non-DM CKD participants with eGFR > 45 mL/min/1.73m2.
The number of randomised participants in each stratum will be monitored to ensure that the 
non-DM CKD sub-population is approximately 30 to 50% of the total number of participants 
randomised in the study.
Study intervention will be dispensed at the study visits summarised in the SoA (Table 1).
Returned study intervention should not be re-dispensed to the participants.
The IRT/RTSM will provide to the investigator(s) or pharmacists the kit identification number 
to be allocated to the participant at the dispensing visit.

Routines for this will be described in the IRT/RTSM user manual that will be provided to each 
centre.
The randomisation code should not be broken except in medical emergencies when the 
appropriate management of the participant requires knowledge of the treatment randomisation.
The investigator documents and reports the action to AstraZeneca, without revealing the 
treatment given to participant to the AstraZeneca staff.
AstraZeneca retains the right to break the code for SAEs that are unexpected and are 
suspected to be causally related to an investigational product and that potentially require 
expedited reporting to regulatory authorities. Randomisation codes will not be broken for the 
planned analyses of data until all decisions on the evaluability of the data from each individual 
participant have been made and documented.
The following personnel will be unblinded as to the exact content of investigational treatments
(ie, the randomisation code):
!
Personnel carrying out the packaging and labelling of investigational treatment.
!
Personnel generating the randomisation list.
!
Personnel analysing the pharmacokinetic samples.
The IRT/RTSM will be programmed with blind-breaking instructions. In case of an 
emergency, in which the knowledge of the specific blinded study intervention will affect the 
immediate management of the participant’s condition (eg, antidote available), the investigator 
has the sole responsibility for determining if unblinding of a participants’ intervention 
assignment is warranted. Participant safety must always be the first consideration in making 
such a determination. If a participant’s intervention assignment is unblinded, the sponsor must 
be notified within 24 hours after breaking the blind. The investigator documents and reports 
the action to AstraZeneca, without revealing the treatment given to participant to the 
AstraZeneca staff.
Unblinded Study Data
Unblinded study data will be reported to the AstraZeneca internal URC for assessment at each 
of the interim analyses. These data will be clearly defined in the URC charter for individual 
analysis parameters but will include unblinded PK data on each occasion.
Unblinded study data may also be reported to the URC for emergent safety issues. The 
information provided will be pertinent to the safety concern being reviewed (eg, change in 
fluid-related measures for fluid retention events).
Unblinded AstraZeneca or Vendor staff members will be identified before the first subject is

screened. Access to unblinded study data by individual roles will be defined in the URC 
charter and these roles will not take part in blinded data decisions.
6.4
Study Intervention Compliance
Participants will take treatment at the clinic on indicated visit days and at home on all other 
occasions.
When participants are dosed at the site, they will receive study intervention directly from the 
investigator or designee, under medical supervision. The date, and time of dose administered 
in the clinic will be recorded in the source documents and recorded in the eCRF. The dose of 
study intervention and study participant identification will be confirmed at the time of dosing 
by a member of the study site staff other than the person administering the study intervention.
When participants self-administer study interventions at home, compliance with study 
intervention will be assessed at each visit. Diaries will be given to the participants at the 
randomisation visit and the participants will be asked to fill in the dose intake information 
(date and time) at home (can be digital recording). The diaries will be checked by study site 
personnel at the study visits and data transferred to the eCRF.
Compliance will be assessed by direct questioning and counting returned zibotentan/placebo
capsules and dapagliflozin tablets during the site visits and documented in the source 
documents and eCRF. Deviation(s) from the prescribed dosage regimen should be recorded in 
the eCRF.
A record of the number of zibotentan/placebo capsules and dapagliflozin tablets dispensed to 
and taken by each participant must be maintained and reconciled with study intervention and 
compliance records. Intervention start and stop dates, including dates for intervention delays 
and/or dose reductions will also be recorded in the eCRF.
6.5
Concomitant Therapy
Any medication or vaccine (including over-the-counter or prescription medicines, vitamins, 
and/or herbal supplements) that the participant is receiving at the time of screening or receives 
during the study must be recorded along with:
!
Reason for use.
!
Dates of administration including start and end dates.
!
Dosage information including dose and frequency.
The Study Physician should be contacted if there are any questions regarding concomitant or 
prior therapy.

6.5.1
Prohibited Concomitant Medications
The medications and supplements listed below are prohibited from the time of consent and for 
the duration of the study. Participants taking any of these medications at the time of 
randomisation cannot be included into the study:
!
SGLT2i.
!
Direct renin inhibitor (eg, Aliskiren).
!
Cyclosporin or tacrolimus.
!
Receiving cytotoxic therapy, immunosuppressive therapy, or other immunotherapy for 
primary or secondary renal disease within 6 months prior to screening.
In addition to the above, the following medications cannot be initiated or any changes to dose 
made after the participant has consented, and until the participant has completed the study (or 
discontinued / withdrawn participation):
!
ACEi.
!
ARB.
!
ARNi.
!
MRA.
6.5.2
Medications Inducing Hypoglycaemia
Participants using medications that can cause hypoglycaemia in T2DM patients, including 
insulin or sulfonylurea (SU), may be required to reduce insulin by 10% to 20% (total daily 
dose) and SU by 25% to 50%. In addition, more frequent blood glucose monitoring may be 
considered in participants receiving insulin and/or SU and with baseline HbA1c ≤7% at 
randomisation.
6.5.3
Background Standard of Care Therapy
Prescribed SoC treatment for CKD (eg, ACEi and/or ARB) should be stable for at least 
4 weeks prior to screening (see inclusion criterion #4) and remain stable during the study.
It is preferable that any background medical therapy (eg, antidiabetic or antihypertensive 
therapy [including diuretics] or therapy with statins) does not change during study 
intervention; ie, between the screening visit and the last dose of investigational product. 
However, if this is necessary, the participant does not need to be withdrawn from study 
intervention.
6.5.4 Rescue Medicine
If a participant’s medical condition requires rescue therapy, the participant should be treated,

Clinical Study Protocol - Amendment 3
AstraZeneca
Zibotentan and Dapagliflozin - D4325C00001
CONFIDENTIAL AND PROPRIETARY
51 of 126
and withdrawn from investigational product administration at the investigator’s discretion. 
Rescue therapy should be recorded in the eCRF.
Diabetic participants may require adjustment of their other glucose-lowering treatments on 
commencing blinded investigational product (due to the potential of dapagliflozin treatment) 
to avoid hypoglycaemia as described in Section 6.5.2.
6.6
Dose Modification
No dose modifications are permitted during the study due to its short duration. However, 
investigational product dose(s) may be withheld if clinically necessary. In the case of a 
delayed or missed dose for any reason, subsequent doses should be administered according to 
the original schedule (ie, at the planned time point relative to the first dose of investigational 
product).
6.7
Intervention After the End of the Study
After the end of the study (safety follow-up visit), participants will no longer receive 
zibotentan and/or dapagliflozin.
Participants should maintain their other prescribed treatments at the discretion of the 
investigator.

DISCONTINUATION OF STUDY INTERVENTION AND 
PARTICIPANT DISCONTINUATION/WITHDRAWAL
7.1
Discontinuation of Study Intervention
It may be necessary for a participant to permanently discontinue (definitive discontinuation) 
study intervention.
An individual participant may be discontinued from study intervention in the following 
situations:
!
Participant decision. The participant is at any time free to discontinue treatment, without 
prejudice to further treatment.
!
An AE that, in the opinion of the investigator or AstraZeneca, warrants discontinuation 
from further dosing.
!
Severe non-compliance with the CSP.
!
Safety reasons as judged by the investigator and/or sponsor where continued treatment 
may put participant at undue risk.

AstraZeneca
Zibotentan and Dapagliflozin - D4325C00001
CONFIDENTIAL AND PROPRIETARY
52 of 126
An individual participant will be discontinued from study intervention in the following 
situations:
!
If BNP is increased > 100% from baseline AND is greater than 200 pg/mL; or if BNP is 
increased > 100% from baseline AND is greater than 400 pg/mL in a participant with 
atrial fibrillation.
!
If the participant or male participant’s partner becomes pregnant during the course of the 
study, investigational products should be discontinued immediately, and an AZ 
representative notified.
!
Diabetic ketoacidosis: DKA including euglycemic DKA have been reported with use of 
dapagliflozin. Consider temporary interrupting study treatment if DKA is suspected. The 
participant should be promptly evaluated. If diabetic ketoacidosis is confirmed, 
investigational product(s) should be discontinued permanently. If diabetic ketoacidosis is 
not confirmed, restart of study intervention should be considered (see Section 7.1.1 for 
details).
!
Symptomatic hypotension (defined as systolic BP < 90 mmHg OR diastolic 
BP < 60 mmHg with symptoms).
!
eGFR reduction: investigational study products must be discontinued in case of 
confirmed eGFR reduction from baseline >50% and/or any confirmed decrease below 
15 mL/min/1.73m2.
If an unexpected, acute decline in kidney function is observed, the participant should be 
promptly evaluated. Volume depletion, hypotension, intercurrent medical problems and 
concomitant drugs may cause increases in blood creatinine. Urinary tract infection and 
urinary obstruction should be considered. Several drugs may cause a decline in kidney 
function, especially non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and certain antibiotics such as 
trimethoprim. If any drug is suspected of causing or contributing to worsening kidney 
function, their use should be reconsidered.
!
More than 3% increase in weight (at least 2.5% must be from total body water as 
measured by bioimpedance) from start of treatment (Day 1).
!
Heart failure.
Note that discontinuation from study intervention is NOT the same thing as a withdrawal from 
the study.
If study interventions are permanently discontinued, the participant will continue with the 
study visits and complete further evaluations as per the SoA (Table 1).

pancreatic disorders (eg, type 1 diabetes, history of pancreatitis or pancreatic surgery), insulin 
dose reduction, reduced caloric intake or increased insulin requirements due to infections, 
illness or surgery and alcohol abuse. Dapagliflozin should be used with caution in these 
participants.
Participants treated with dapagliflozin who present with signs and symptoms consistent with 
ketoacidosis, including nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, malaise and shortness of breath 
should be assessed for ketoacidosis, even if blood glucose levels are below 14 mmol/L 
(250 mg/dL). If ketoacidosis is suspected, discontinuation or temporary interruption of study 
treatment should be considered, and the participant should be promptly evaluated.
7.2
Participant Withdrawal from the Study
!
A participant may withdraw from the study at any time at his/her own request or may be 
withdrawn at any time at the discretion of the investigator for safety, behavioural,
compliance, or administrative reasons. This is expected to be uncommon.
!
A participant who considers withdrawing from the study must be informed by the 
investigator about modified follow-up options (eg, telephone contact, a contact with a 
relative or treating physician, or information from medical records).
!
At the time of withdrawal from the study, if possible, an Early Discontinuation visit 
should be conducted, as shown in the SoA. See SoA for data to be collected at the time of 
study withdrawal and follow-up and for any further evaluations that need to be 
completed.
∀
The participant will discontinue the study intervention and be withdrawn from the 
study at that time.
!
If the participant withdraws consent for disclosure of future information, the sponsor may 
retain and continue to use any data collected before such a withdrawal of consent.
!
If a participant withdraws from the study, it should be confirmed if he/she still agrees for 
existing samples to be used in line with the original consent. If he/she requests withdrawal 
of consent for use of samples, destruction of any samples taken and not tested should be 
carried out in line with what was stated in the informed consent and local regulation. The 
investigator must document the decision on use of existing samples in the site study 
records and inform the Global Study Team.
7.3
Lost to Follow up
A participant will be considered lost to follow-up if he or she repeatedly fails to return for 
scheduled visits and is unable to be contacted by the study site.
The following actions must be taken if a participant fails to return to the clinic for a required 
study visit:

Clinical Study Protocol - Amendment 3

!
The site must attempt to contact the participant and reschedule the missed visit as soon as 
possible and counsel the participant on the importance of maintaining the assigned visit 
schedule and ascertain whether or not the participant wishes to and/or should continue in 
the study.
!
Before a participant is deemed lost to follow up, the investigator or designee must make 
every effort to regain contact with the participant (where possible, 3 telephone calls and,
if necessary, a certified letter to the participant’s last known mailing address or local 
equivalent methods). These contact attempts should be documented in the participant’s 
medical record.
!
Should the participant continue to be unreachable, he/she will be considered to have 
withdrawn from the study.
Discontinuation of specific sites or of the study as a whole are handled as part of Appendix A.
8
STUDY ASSESSMENTS AND PROCEDURES
!
Study procedures and their timings are summarised in the SoA. Protocol waivers or 
exemptions are not allowed.
!
Emerging safety concerns should be discussed with the sponsor immediately upon 
occurrence or awareness to determine if the participant should continue or discontinue 
study intervention.
!
Adherence to the study design requirements, including those specified in the SoA, is 
essential and required for study conduct.
!
All screening evaluations must be completed and reviewed to confirm that potential 
participants meet all eligibility criteria. The investigator will maintain a screening log to 
record details of all participants screened and to confirm eligibility or record reasons for 
screening failure, as applicable.
!
Procedures conducted as part of the participant’s routine clinical management (eg, blood 
count) and obtained before signing of the ICF may be utilised for screening purposes 
provided the procedures met the protocol-specified criteria and were performed within the 
time frame defined in the SoA.
!
The maximum amount of blood collected from an individual participant over the duration 
of the study, including any PK assessments that may be required, will not exceed 500 mL. 
Repeat or unscheduled samples may be taken for safety reasons or for technical issues 
with the samples.

Efficacy Assessments
8.1.1
Primary/Secondary Variable: Urinary Albumin to Creatinine Ratio 
(UACR)
The UACR is a key marker for assessing kidney function. The UACR is a ratio between 
2 measured substances (urine albumin and creatinine), which estimates 24-hour urine albumin 
excretion.
The UACR is calculated as follows:
!
UACR (mg/g) = urine albumin (mg/dL) / urine creatinine (g/dL)
Urine samples for the determination of albumin and creatinine levels and calculation of 
UACR will be collected at the time points described in the SoA (Table 1):
!
At screening, containers to collect the urine samples will be dispensed to the participants. 
A spot urine from first morning void will be collected the next day and analysed centrally.
!
For subsequent visits, containers to collect the urine samples will be dispensed to the 
participants. Participants will collect first morning void urine samples at home on 
3 consecutive days (ideally day of visit and preceding 2 days [refrigerated overnight] 
which will be returned on the day of visit). Samples will be analysed centrally.
Note: The samples collected on visit days will also be used for the determination of 
exploratory urinary parameters (see Section 8.5.3.1).
!
At each visit (except for screening), the geometric mean of the triplicate UACRs will be 
computed and used for all analysis of UACR.
8.1.2
Other Secondary Variables
8.1.2.1
Office/Clinic Blood Pressure Measurement
Blood pressure measurements for participants who receive dapagliflozin monotherapy or 
different doses of zibotentan combined with dapagliflozin 10 mg will be done during clinic 
visits at the time points for vital signs indicated in the SoA (Table 1 and Section 8.2.2).
8.1.2.2
Serum Analysis of Creatinine and Cystatin C (eGFR)
Estimated GFR is another measure that is considered as a standard for assessment of kidney 
function. Estimated GFR is calculated based on serum creatinine values using the widely 
validated and accepted CKD-EPI equation. Blood samples for estimation of serum creatinine 
(clinical chemistry) are collected at various time points during the course of the study as 
shown in the SoA (Table 1).

Clinical Study Protocol - Amendment 3
AstraZeneca
Zibotentan and Dapagliflozin - D4325C00001
CONFIDENTIAL AND PROPRIETARY
56 of 126
Estimated GFR, using serum creatinine, is calculated as follows:
!
eGFR (mL/min/1.73 m²) = 141 × min (SCr/κ,1) α × max (SCr/κ,1)-0.209 × 0.993 Age × 
(1.018 if female) × (1.159 if Black)
Where SCr = serum creatinine (in mg/dL), κ is 0.7 for females and 0.9 for males, α is -0.329 
for females and -0.411 for males, min indicates the minimum of SCr/κ or 1, and max indicates 
the maximum of SCr/κ or 1.
Alternatively, serum cystatin C provides GFR estimates that are nearly as accurate as serum 
creatinine adjusted for age, sex, and race thus providing an alternative GFR estimate that is 
not linked to muscle mass (Scholtes et al, 2020, Stevens et al, 2008). Blood samples will be 
collected for measurement of cystatin C, at specified time points in the SoA (Table 1).
Estimated GFR, using cystatin C, is calculated as follows:
!
eGFR = 133 x min(Scys/0.8, 1)-0.499 x max (Scys/0.8, 1)-1.328 x 0.996Age x 0.932 [if female]
Where Scys is standardised serum cystatin C (in mg/L), min indicates the minimum of Scys/0.8 
or 1, max indicates the maximum of Scys/0.8 or 1, and age = years.
Estimated GFR calculations using the CKD-EPI formulae (in both ways, based on cystatin C 
and based on creatinine) will be performed by the central laboratory.
8.1.3
Exploratory Variables
8.1.3.1
Electronic Scale Measurement of Body Weight
Home-based body weight monitoring will be performed each morning using the provided
digital scales from 2 days before randomisation to end of follow-up (Visit 8) (Table 1 and 
Section 6.1.2) (also refer to Section 8.2.1).
8.1.3.2
Bioimpedance Spectroscopy
Bioimpedance spectroscopy (BIS) will be performed at the site at the time points specified in 
the SoA to monitor body fluid volumes (Table 1).
This non-invasive procedure uses skin electrodes to pass a low-level alternating current 
through the body and measures the impedance to the flow of this current. Tissues such as fat 
and bone act as insulators; whereas, electrolyte body fluids conduct electrical current and as 
the fluid increases, impedance to current flow decreases (ie, changes in impedance are 
inversely proportional to the volume of the extracellular fluid in the body). At low 
frequencies, cell membranes are non-conductive and current passes only through the 
extracellular fluid, while at high frequencies, the current passes through cell membranes in 
addition to the extra-and intracellular fluids.

8.1.3.3
Echocardiography Assessment of Cardiac Structure and Function
An assessment of cardiac structure and function using echocardiography will be performed 
during the Screening period and at Week 12. The examination is non-invasive and prior 
preparation is not required.
The following parameters will be assessed:
!
The LVEF threshold for inclusion ≥50% with no evidence of significant ventricular wall 
motion abnormality or severe cardiac valve abnormalities.
The echocardiography data will be analysed by a blinded central reader.
8.2
Safety Assessments
Planned time points for all safety assessments are provided in the SoA (Table 1).
8.2.1
Physical Examinations
Physical examination, and measurement of weight and height will be conducted at the time 
points outlined in the SoA.
!
For weight and height measurements, the participant will be allowed to wear indoor, 
daytime clothing with no shoes and no coats/jackets and removal of heavy objects from 
pockets.
!
A complete physical examination will include: assessments of general appearance, 
respiratory, cardiovascular, abdomen, skin, head and neck (including ears, eyes, nose, and 
throat), lymph nodes, thyroid, musculoskeletal (including spine and extremities) and 
neurological systems and an assessment of the presence and extent of peripheral 
(ankle/leg) oedema.
!
A brief physical examination will include: assessment of skin (colour, turgor), lungs 
(breathing rate and breath sounds), cardiovascular system (HR, JVP, sounds), and 
abdomen (liver and spleen to detect any increase) in addition to vital signs, and an 
assessment of the presence and extent of peripheral (ankle/leg) oedema.
For information on how AEs based on physical examination findings should be recorded and 
reported, see Section 8.3.5.
Body weight will be monitored at home using an electronic scale measurement throughout the 
interventional period as detailed in Section 8.1.3 at the times outlined in the SoA.
8.2.2
Vital Signs
Vital signs will include resting BP, pulse, and respiratory rate measurements.

Clinical Study Protocol - Amendment 3
AstraZeneca
Zibotentan and Dapagliflozin - D4325C00001
CONFIDENTIAL AND PROPRIETARY
58 of 126
Routine BP, pulse, and respiratory rate will be assessed at the study site, as outlined in the 
SoA, prior to blood collection for laboratory tests with the participant resting in a supine 
position using a completely automated device. Manual techniques will be used only if an 
automated device is not available.
Vital sign measurements should be preceded by at least 5 minutes of rest for the participant in 
a quiet setting without distractions (eg, television, cell phones) and will consist of 1 pulse, 
1 respiratory rate, and 3 BP measurements (3 consecutive BP readings will be recorded at 
intervals of at least 1 minute). The average of the 3 BP readings will be recorded on the eCRF.
For information on how AEs based on vital sign results should be recorded and reported, see 
Section 8.3.5.
There will be real-time safety monitoring of body weight online data from home monitoring 
devices by the study physician. The study physician will alert the respective investigator if any 
significant weight gain is seen. The investigator will also have direct access to the online data 
for their participants.
The investigator will contact the participant immediately and arrange a clinic visit to assess 
health status.
Participants will also be advised to self-monitor and contact the investigator with any 
concerns.
8.2.3
Electrocardiograms
Triplicate 12-lead ECGs will be performed after the participant has been resting in a supine 
position for at least 10 minutes, at the visits outlined in the SoA (Table 1). Three individual 
ECGs will be recorded per time point, 1 minute apart or maximum within 2 minutes from the 
previous measurement. The mean value of the 3 measurements will be used will be used (eg, 
QTcF interval requirement will be the mean of the three ECGs).
Digital ECGs performed at site will be transferred to, centrally read, and stored by ERT. A 
digital ECG machine that automatically calculates the heart rate and measures PR, RR, QRS, 
QT, and QTcF intervals will be used. Interpretation of the clinical safety digital ECG findings 
will be reviewed and confirmed by the investigator and recorded in the eCRF.
Investigators will assess participants’ eligibility according to the Screening ECG report 
(Visit 1) but also be vigilant for any abnormal findings at the randomisation clinic visit 
(Visit 2), prior to the centrally read report being available. Abnormal ECG findings will be 
evaluated by the investigator and the participant screen failed if required.
Throughout the study, clinically relevant new findings or worsening of a pre-existing finding

in the ECGs (parameters or abnormal findings in the tracing) must be considered an AE and 
must be recorded in the AE CRF form.
For information on how AEs based on ECG results should be recorded and reported, see -
Section 8.3.5.
8.2.4
Clinical Safety Laboratory Assessments
Blood and urine samples for determination of clinical chemistry, haematology, and urinalysis 
will be taken at the visits indicated in the SoA (Table 1).
Additional safety samples may be collected if clinically indicated at the discretion of the 
investigator. The date, time of collection, and results (values, units, and reference ranges) will 
be recorded on the appropriate eCRF.
The clinical chemistry, haematology, and urinalysis will be performed at a central laboratory. 
Sample tubes and sample sizes may vary depending on laboratory method used and routine 
practice at the site.
In addition, samples will also be collected for analysis of the following parameters:
!
Screening samples for parameters needed to confirm eligibility:
∀
For women only: FSH, LH, and serum pregnancy test.
∀
Local test for SARS-CoV-2.
∀
Serology test for HIV I and II, Hepatitis B surface antigen, Hepatitis C virus 
antibody.
∀
Local laboratory BNP or NT-proBNP.

8.3
Adverse Events and Serious Adverse Events
The principal investigator is responsible for ensuring that all staff involved in the study are 
familiar with the content of this section.
The definitions of an AE or SAE can be found in Appendix B.
Adverse events will be reported by the participant (or, when appropriate, by a caregiver, 
surrogate, or the participant's legally authorised representative).

Clinical Study Protocol - Amendment 3
AstraZeneca
Zibotentan and Dapagliflozin - D4325C00001
CONFIDENTIAL AND PROPRIETARY
61 of 126
The investigator and any designees are responsible for detecting, documenting, and recording 
events that meet the definition of an AE.
8.3.1
Time Period and Frequency for Collecting AE and SAE Information
Adverse events will be collected after the participant has received the first dose of study 
intervention throughout the interventional period and including the follow-up period (Visit 8).
SAEs will be recorded from the time of signing of the informed consent form.
If the investigator becomes aware of an SAE with a suspected causal relationship to the 
investigational medicinal product that occurs after the end of the clinical study in a participant
treated by him or her, the investigator shall, without undue delay, report the SAE to the 
sponsor.
8.3.2
Follow-up of AEs and SAEs
Any AEs that are unresolved at the participant’s last AE assessment or other assessment/visit 
in the study are followed up by the investigator for as long as medically indicated, but without 
further recording in the eCRF. AstraZeneca retains the right to request additional information 
for any participant with ongoing AE(s)/SAE(s) at the end of the study, if judged necessary.
Adverse event variables
The following variables will be collected for each AE:
!
AE (verbatim).
!
The date and time when the AE started and stopped.
!
Maximum intensity.
!
Whether the AE is serious or not.
!
Investigator causality rating against the investigational products (yes or no).
!
Action taken with regard to investigational products.
!
AE caused participant’s withdrawal from study (yes or no).
!
Outcome.
In addition, the following variables will be collected for SAEs:
!
Date AE met criteria for SAE.
!
Date investigator became aware of SAE.
!
AE is serious due to.
!
Date of hospitalisation.

Clinical Study Protocol - Amendment 3
AstraZeneca

!
Date of discharge.
!
Probable cause of death.
!
Date of death.
!
Autopsy performed.
!
Causality assessment in relation to study procedure(s).
!
Causality assessment to other medication.
8.3.3 Causality Collection
The investigator should assess causal relationship between investigational product and each 
AE, and answer ‘yes’ or ‘no’ to the question ‘Do you consider that there is a reasonable 
possibility that the event may have been caused by the investigational products?’
For SAEs, causal relationship should also be assessed for other medication and study 
procedures. Note that for SAEs that could be associated with any study procedure the causal 
relationship is implied as ‘yes’.
A guide to the interpretation of the causality question is found in Appendix B to the CSP.
8.3.4 Adverse Events Based on Signs and Symptoms
All AEs spontaneously reported by the participant or reported in response to the open question 
from the study site staff: ‘Have you had any health problems since the previous visit?’ or 
revealed by observation will be collected and recorded in the eCRF. When collecting AEs, the 
recording of diagnoses is preferred (when possible) to recording a list of signs and symptoms. 
However, if a diagnosis is known and there are other signs or symptoms that are not generally 
part of the diagnosis, the diagnosis and each sign or symptom will be recorded separately.
8.3.5 Adverse Events Based on Examinations and Tests
The results from the CSP-mandated laboratory tests and vital signs will be summarised in the 
CSR.
Deterioration as compared to baseline in protocol-mandated laboratory values, vital signs,
ECG parameters, and echocardiography findings should therefore only be reported as AEs if 
they fulfil any of the SAE criteria, are the reason for discontinuation of treatment with the 
investigational product, or are considered to be clinically relevant as judged by the 
investigator (which may include but not limited to consideration as to whether treatment or 
non-planned visits were required or other action was taken with the study intervention, eg,
dose adjustment or drug interruption).
If deterioration in a laboratory value/vital sign is associated with clinical signs and symptoms, 

Clinical Study Protocol - Amendment 3
AstraZeneca
Zibotentan and Dapagliflozin - D4325C00001
CONFIDENTIAL AND PROPRIETARY
63 of 126
the sign or symptom will be reported as an AE and the associated laboratory result/vital sign 
will be considered as additional information. Wherever possible the reporting investigator
uses the clinical, rather than the laboratory term (eg, anaemia versus low haemoglobin value). 
In the absence of clinical signs or symptoms, clinically relevant deteriorations in non-
mandated parameters should be reported as AE(s).
Any new or aggravated clinically relevant abnormal medical finding at a physical 
examination, as compared with the baseline assessment, will be reported as an AE unless 
unequivocally related to the disease under study.
8.3.6 Hy’s Law
Cases where a participant shows elevations in liver biochemistry may require further 
evaluation and occurrences of AST or ALT ≥3 × ULN together with TBL ≥2 × ULN may 
need to be reported as SAEs. Please refer to Appendix E for further instruction on cases of 
increases in liver biochemistry and evaluation of Hy’s Law.
8.3.7
Reporting of Serious Adverse Events
All SAEs have to be reported, whether or not considered causally related to the investigational 
product, or to the study procedure(s). All SAEs will be recorded in the eCRF.
If any SAE occurs in the course of the study, investigators or other site personnel will inform 
the appropriate AstraZeneca representatives within one day ie, immediately but no later than 
24 hours of when he or she becomes aware of it.
The designated AstraZeneca representative will work with the investigator to ensure that all 
the necessary information is provided to the AstraZeneca Patient Safety data entry site within 
one calendar day of initial receipt for fatal and life-threatening events and within 5 calendar
days of initial receipt for all other SAEs.
For fatal or life-threatening AEs where important or relevant information is missing, active 
follow-up will be undertaken immediately. Investigators or other site personnel will inform 
AstraZeneca representatives of any follow-up information on a previously reported SAE 
within one calendar day, ie, immediately but no later than 24 hours of when he or she 
becomes aware of it.
Once the investigators or other site personnel indicate an AE is serious in the EDC system, an 
automated email alert is sent to the designated AstraZeneca representative.
If the EDC system is not available, then the investigator or other study site staff reports a SAE 
to the appropriate AstraZeneca representative by telephone.
The AstraZeneca representative will advise the investigator/study site staff how to proceed.

For further guidance on the definition of a SAE, see Appendix B of the CSP.
The reference document for definition of expectedness/listedness is the IB for both 
AstraZeneca investigational products.
8.3.8
Pregnancy
All pregnancies and outcomes of pregnancy should be reported to AstraZeneca, except when
the pregnancy is discovered before the study participant has received any study intervention.
8.3.8.1
Maternal Exposure
Zibotentan, in common with other ET antagonists, has been demonstrated to induce 
teratogenic effects in animals. Pregnant or breastfeeding women must not receive the 
compound. To prevent potential exposure via semen, men receiving zibotentan who are 
sexually active with a woman of childbearing potential should employ the use of condoms 
together with other highly effective methods of contraception.
Dapagliflozin must not be used in the second and third trimesters of pregnancy. In the time 
period corresponding to second and third trimester of pregnancy with respect to human renal 
maturation, maternal exposure to dapagliflozin in rat studies was associated with increased 
incidence and/or severity of renal pelvic and tubular dilatations in progeny. There are no 
adequate and well-controlled studies of dapagliflozin in pregnant women.
Women of childbearing potential will not be included in this study (for definition see inclusion 
criteria, Section 5.1). Should a pregnancy still occur, the investigational product should be 
discontinued immediately, and the pregnancy reported to AstraZeneca.
Pregnancy itself is not regarded as an AE unless there is a suspicion that the investigational 
product under study may have interfered with the effectiveness of a contraceptive medication. 
Congenital abnormalities/birth defects and spontaneous miscarriages should be reported and 
handled as SAEs. Elective abortions without complications should not be handled as AEs. The 
outcome of all pregnancies (spontaneous miscarriage, elective termination, ectopic pregnancy, 
normal birth, or congenital abnormality) should be followed up and documented even if the 
participant was discontinued from the study.
If any pregnancy occurs in the course of the study, then the investigator or other site personnel 
informs the appropriate AstraZeneca representatives within 1 day, ie, immediately but no 
later than 24 hours of when he or she becomes aware of it.
The designated AstraZeneca representative works with the investigator to ensure that all 
relevant information is provided to the AstraZeneca Patient Safety data entry site within 
1 (Initial Fatal/Life-Threatening or follow up Fatal/Life-Threatening) or 5 (other serious 
initial and follow up) calendar days for SAEs (see Section 8.3.7) and within 30 days for all 

Clinical Study Protocol - Amendment 3

CONFIDENTIAL AND PROPRIETARY
65 of 126
other pregnancies.
The same timelines apply when outcome information is available.
The PREGREP module in the eCRF is used to report the pregnancy and the paper-based
PREGOUT module is used to report the outcome of the pregnancy.
8.3.8.2
Paternal Exposure
It is important that women of childbearing potential, who are the partners of male participants, 
do not become pregnant during the study and for a total period of 3 months after the male 
study participant has received his last dose of investigational product.
All male participants should avoid fathering a child by either true abstinence or use together 
with their female partner/spouse a highly effective method of contraception (see definition 
below), starting from the time of investigational product administration until 3 months after 
the last dose of investigational product. In addition, male participants should use a condom for 
the duration of the study and for 3 months after the last dose of study intervention.
See Section 5.1 for methods that can achieve a failure rate of less than 1% per year when used 
consistently and correctly, and are considered highly effective birth control methods:
Male participants should not donate or bank sperm for the duration of the study and for at least 
3 months after the study follow-up visit.
Male participants will be instructed that if they father a pregnancy during the study, this 
should be reported to the investigator and the study intervention should be discontinued. If the 
male participant fathers a pregnancy within 3 months after last dose of the study intervention, 
it should also be reported to the investigator. In the event that a participant’s partner is 
subsequently found to be pregnant after the study participant is included in the study, then 
consent will be sought from the partner and if granted any pregnancy will be followed and the 
status of mother and/or child will be reported to the sponsor after delivery.
A pregnancy notification form and follow-up will be completed.
8.3.9
Medication Error
If a medication error occurs in the course of the study, then the investigator or other site 
personnel informs the appropriate AstraZeneca representatives within 1 day, ie, immediately 
but no later than 24 hours of when he or she becomes aware of it.
The designated AstraZeneca representative works with the investigator to ensure that all 
relevant information is completed within 1 (Initial Fatal/Life-Threatening or follow up 
Fatal/Life-Threatening) or 5 (other serious initial and follow up) calendar days if there is an 

Clinical Study Protocol - Amendment 3

SAE associated with the medication error (see Section 8.3.7) and within 30 days for all other 
medication errors.
The definition of a Medication Error can be found in Appendix B 4.
8.4
Overdose
Dapagliflozin has been well tolerated at doses up to 500 mg/day in single dose testing in 
healthy volunteers and up to 100 mg/day in repeat dose testing for 14 days in healthy 
volunteers and patients with type 2 diabetes. Only suspected single intake of more than 
500 mg dapagliflozin or repeated intake of more than 100 mg dapagliflozin should be reported 
on the eCRF overdose module.
Presently there is no information regarding overdose of zibotentan in humans. For the 
purposes of this study, an overdose will be defined as the use of investigational product in 
doses in excess of that specified in the protocol.
!
An overdose with associated AEs is recorded as the AE diagnosis/symptoms on the 
relevant AE modules in the eCRF and on the Overdose eCRF module.
!
An overdose without associated symptoms is only reported on the Overdose eCRF 
module.
If an overdose on an AstraZeneca study intervention occurs in the course of the study, the 
investigator or other site personnel inform appropriate AstraZeneca representatives 
immediately, but no later than 24 hours of when he or she becomes aware of it.
The designated AstraZeneca representative works with the investigator to ensure that all 
relevant information is provided to the AstraZeneca Patient Safety data entry site within 
1 (Initial Fatal/Life-Threatening or follow up Fatal/Life-Threatening) or 5 (other serious 
initial and follow up) calendar days for overdoses associated with an SAE (see section 8.3.7) 
and within 30 days for all other overdoses.
8.5
Human Biological Samples
Instructions for the collection and handling of biological samples will be provided in the 
study-specific laboratory manual. Samples should be stored in a secure storage space with 
adequate measures to protect confidentiality. For further details on Handling of Human 
Biological Samples see Appendix C.
Samples will be stored for a maximum of 15 years from the date of the issue of the CSR in 
line with consent and local requirements, after which they will be destroyed/repatriated.

Pharmacokinetic samples will be disposed of after the Bioanalytical Report finalisation or 
6 months after issuance of the draft Bioanalytical Report (whichever is earlier), unless 
consented for future analyses.
∀
Pharmacokinetic samples may be disposed of or anonymised by pooling. Additional 
analyses may be conducted on the anonymised, pooled PK samples to further 
evaluate and validate the analytical method. Any results from such analyses may be 
reported separately from the CSR.
8.5.1
Pharmacokinetics
Plasma samples will be collected for measurement of plasma concentrations of zibotentan and 
dapagliflozin, and exploratory zibotentan metabolite evaluation, as specified in the SoA
(Table 1; also Section 8.5.1.2).
Samples may be collected at additional time points during the study if warranted and agreed 
upon between the investigator and the sponsor, eg, for safety reasons. The timing of sampling
may be altered during the course of the study (eg, to obtain data closer to the time of peak or 
trough matrix concentrations) to ensure appropriate monitoring.
Backup PK samples may be used to evaluate safety or efficacy aspects during or after the 
study.
Samples will be collected, labelled, stored, and shipped as detailed in the Laboratory Manual.
8.5.1.1
PK Sub-Study
A sub-group of at least 20% of the overall study population will have 4 PK samples taken in 
addition to the pre-dose sample, spread over 4 different time points (0.5-1.0 h, 1.5-2.0 h, 
2.5-3.0 h and 3.5-4.5 h post-dose). Zibotentan and dapagliflozin concentrations will be 
measured separately. As indicated in the SoA (Table 1), the additional samples will be taken at 
Visit 4. Participants will be asked to come to the site in the morning and fasted. They will be
given a light standardised breakfast after taking the dose. Participants need to stay in the clinic 
until the last PK post-dose sample has been taken for measurement of zibotentan and 
dapagliflozin plasma concentrations.
The sub-study will be performed in all participants that agree to it, if the site investigators 
deem it feasible. When the target of evaluable PK profiles in at least 20% of the study 
population has been reached, or if recruitment is deemed too slow, the sites may be notified 
that further inclusions are not necessary. While participants are encouraged to take part in the 
PK sub-study, hesitation to take part should never be a hindrance to recruiting of the overall 
study. If participants or investigators choose not to take part in the PK sub-study or when the 
target number of samples has been reached, a single pre-dose PK sample will be taken instead 
of the short profile. In all cases, the dose will be administered in the clinic.

STATISTICAL CONSIDERATIONS
9.1
Statistical Hypotheses
The primary hypothesis for this study is that zibotentan 1.5 mg and dapagliflozin 10 mg in 
combination will reduce UACR compared with dapagliflozin 10 mg monotherapy.
The secondary hypothesis for this study is that zibotentan 0.25 mg combined with 
dapagliflozin 10 mg will reduce UACR compared with dapagliflozin 10 mg monotherapy.
Dose-response for the reduction in UACR, as a function of the zibotentan dose, as combined 
with dapagliflozin, will be evaluated.
9.2
Sample Size Determination
With a 1-sided type I error rate of 5%, 150 evaluable participants in the zibotentan 1.5 mg and 
dapagliflozin 10 mg arm and dapagliflozin 10 mg monotherapy arm will have approximately 
% power to detect a dapagliflozin-corrected UACR reduction of 
% or more assuming a 
SD of 
 on the natural log-scale. In the DKD sub-population (which will be about 70% of 
the total population), the power to detect the same reduction is estimated to be 
%.
For the dose-response models, the sample size below will have at least 
% power across 
multiple dose-response models to detect dose-response significance. This assumes a 1-sided 
type I error of 5% and a maximum UACR reduction of 
% for the zibotentan 1.5 mg and 
dapagliflozin 10 mg combination arm relative to dapagliflozin 10 mg.
!
Zibotentan/Dapagliflozin dose = 0/10 mg: n = 150.
!
Zibotentan/Dapagliflozin dose = 0.25/10 mg: n = 77.
!
Zibotentan/Dapagliflozin dose = 1.5 mg/10 mg: n = 150.
A total of 495 participants will be randomised into this study, including participants 
randomised under the earlier design. Four hundred and fifteen (415) participants will be 
randomised to have 166 participants in the zibotentan 1.5 mg/dapagliflozin 10 mg

combination arm and dapagliflozin 10 mg monotherapy arm, and 83 participants in the 
zibotentan 0.25 mg/dapagliflozin 10 mg combination arm. 
A participant is considered to be evaluable if the participant received at least one dose of study 
intervention, has baseline UACR, and at least one post-treatment UACR result available.
9.3
Populations for Analyses
The following populations are defined:
Table 6
Populations for Analysis
Population/Analysis set
Description
Screened
All participants who signed the ICF.
Full Analysis Set (FAS)
All participants who are randomised and receive any study intervention. 
Participants are evaluated according to the treatment assigned at 
randomisation.
The FAS will be used for all analyses of demographic baseline 
characteristics and efficacy data.
Per Protocol Analysis Set
(PPS)
A subset of the FAS consisting of all participants who completed at least 
6 weeks of treatment and do not violate the terms of the protocol in a way 
that may affect the primary efficacy endpoint significantly. All decisions to 
exclude participants from the per protocol analysis set will be made and 
documented prior to the unblinding of the study.
Safety Analysis Set (SAS)
All participants who are randomised and receive any study intervention. 
Participants are evaluated according to the actual treatment they received.
If a participant received a different treatment dose than randomised 
throughout the study, they will be analysed according the treated dose, not 
the randomisation dose. If a participant received investigational product
from the wrong kit for only part of the treatment duration, they will be 
analysed according to their randomisation dose.
The SAS will be used for all safety analyses.
Ambulatory Blood Pressure 
Monitoring population
All participants in the FAS who have valid ambulatory BP data for change 
from baseline analyses.
Pharmacokinetic Analysis Set
All participants in the FAS who have at least one detectable zibotentan or 
dapagliflozin plasma concentration measurement post-treatment.
The Pharmacokinetic Analysis Set will be used for all PK analyses.
Additional analysis sets may be defined in the Statistical Analysis Plan (SAP) for exploratory 
analyses. Participants or sites identified prior to database lock with major GCP violations and 
where the integrity of the data is strongly questioned through thorough independent 
investigations will be excluded from all analyses and all analysis sets.
9.4
Statistical Analyses
The SAP will be finalised prior to first participant in, and it will include a more technical and 

Clinical Study Protocol - Amendment 3

detailed description of the statistical analyses described in this section. This section is a 
summary of the planned statistical analyses of the most important endpoints including primary 
and key secondary endpoints.
9.4.1
General Considerations
All results will be presented by treatment arm and overall, with descriptive statistics 
appropriate to the nature of the variables.
Demographic and baseline characteristics as well as prior and concomitant medication will be 
presented. For continuous variables, the number of non-missing observations, mean, SD, 
median, first and third quartiles, minimum, and maximum will be presented. For categorical 
variables: counts (n) and percentages (%) (where specified) will be presented. These 
summaries will be provided by time point of assessment, as appropriate.
When change from baseline is described, the baseline value will be, in general, the last 
non-missing value prior to or on the same date as administration of the first dose. Further 
details will be described in the SAP.
In general, there will be no imputation of missing data for the safety analyses. Additional 
details will be provided in the SAP.
Deviations from the protocol will be assessed as “important” or “not-important”. Important 
deviations from the protocol may lead to the exclusion of participants from any of the study 
analysis sets. Deviations will be defined before database hard lock. Important deviations will 
include the following:
!
Violation of inclusion and/or exclusion criteria
!
Administration of prohibited concomitant medications that are expected to influence the 
measurement of the primary endpoint.
All protocol deviations will be discussed at the data review meeting prior to database hard 
lock in order to define the analysis sets for the study. All the important protocol deviations will 
be listed by participants. Further details will be described in the SAP.
9.4.2
Efficacy
The analysis of all efficacy variables will be performed on the FAS with a hypothetical
estimand. In addition, the primary efficacy endpoint will also be analysed using the PPS, and a 
treatment policy estimand as sensitivity analyses.
9.4.2.1
Primary Endpoint
The primary efficacy endpoint for this study is the change in log-transformed UACR from 
baseline to Week 12 for zibotentan 1.5 mg combined with dapagliflozin 10 mg versus 

Clinical Study Protocol - Amendment 3
AstraZeneca
Zibotentan and Dapagliflozin - D4325C00001
CONFIDENTIAL AND PROPRIETARY
73 of 126
dapagliflozin 10 mg.
For the intercurrent events, if a participant is lost to follow-up, prematurely discontinues study 
treatment, or uses prohibited medication, the UACR data are treated as missing after the event 
and no imputation is performed.
UACR will be log-transformed and analysed using a mixed model repeated measures
(MMRM) method. The values will be back transformed onto the original scale to give the 
geometric mean relative change from baseline to Week 12. The analysis model will include 
the fixed categorical effects of stratification factor, CSP version (Amendment 2 versus pre-
Amendment 2), treatment, visit, and treatment-by-visit interaction, plus the continuous 
covariates of baseline log (UACR) and baseline log(UACR)-by-visit interaction. An 
unstructured covariance structure will be used for the within-participant errors.
9.4.2.2
Secondary Endpoints
The change in UACR for zibotentan 0.25 mg combined with dapagliflozin 10 mg versus 
dapagliflozin 10 mg monotherapy from baseline (Visit 2) to Week 12 (Visit 7) will be 
assessed. A MMRM model similar to that described for the primary endpoint will be fitted.
The dose-response relationship between different doses of zibotentan/a fixed dose of 
dapagliflozin and UACR reduction will be characterised by assessing the UACR reduction 
analysed in primary and first secondary objective.
The change from baseline (Visit 2) to Week 12 (Visit 7) in office systolic and diastolic BP will 
be assessed for doses of zibotentan combined with dapagliflozin 10 mg compared to
dapagliflozin 10 mg monotherapy.
The effect of different doses of zibotentan and dapagliflozin in combination on eGFR will be 
determined from the change in eGFR from baseline to Week 1, Week 12, and Week 14, and 
from Week 1 to Week 12.
These secondary variables of BP and eGFR will be analysed using ANCOVA, adjusting for 
stratification factors, treatment arm, and baseline. The FAS will be used for these analyses. 
More details will be provided in the SAP.

specific safety information (e.g, summary or listing of SAEs) from the sponsor will 
review and then file it along with the [Investigator’s Brochures or state other documents] 
and will notify the IRB/IEC, if appropriate according to local requirements.
Regulatory Reporting Requirements for Serious Breaches
!
Prompt notification by the investigator to AstraZeneca of any (potential) serious breach of 
the protocol or regulations is essential so that legal and ethical obligations are met.
∀
A ‘serious breach’ means a breach likely to affect to a significant degree the safety 
and rights of a participant or the reliability and robustness of the data generated in the 
clinical study.
!
If any (potential) serious breach occurs in the course of the study, investigators or other 
site personnel will inform the appropriate AstraZeneca representatives immediately after 
he or she becomes aware of it.
!
In certain regions/countries, AstraZeneca has a legal responsibility to notify both the local 
regulatory authority and other regulatory agencies about such breaches.
∀
AstraZeneca will comply with country-specific regulatory requirements relating to 
serious breach reporting to the regulatory authority, IRB/IEC, and investigators. If 
EU Clinical Trials Regulation 536/2014 applies, AstraZeneca is required to enter 
details of serious breaches into the European Medicines Agency (EMA) Clinical 
Trial Information System (CTIS). It is important to note that redacted versions of 
serious breach reports will be available to the public via CTIS.
!
The investigator should have a process in place to ensure that:
o
The site staff or service providers delegated by the investigator/institution are 
able to identify the occurrence of a (potential) serious breach
∀
A (potential) serious breach is promptly reported to AstraZeneca or delegated party, 
through the contacts (email address or telephone number) provided by AstraZeneca
A 2
Financial Disclosure
Investigators and sub-investigators will provide the sponsor with sufficient, accurate financial 
information as requested to allow the sponsor to submit complete and accurate financial 
certification or disclosure statements to the appropriate regulatory authorities. Investigators 
are responsible for providing information on financial interests during the course of the study 
and for 1 year after completion of the study.

Appendix B
Adverse Events: Definitions and Procedures for Recording, 
Evaluating, Follow-up, and Reporting
B 1
Definition of Adverse Events
An adverse event is the development of any untoward medical occurrence in a patient or 
clinical study participant administered a medicinal product and which does not necessarily 
have a causal relationship with this treatment. An AE can therefore be any unfavourable and 
unintended sign (eg, an abnormal laboratory finding), symptom (for example nausea, chest 
pain), or disease temporally associated with the use of a medicinal product, whether or not 
considered related to the medicinal product.
The term AE is used to include both serious and non-serious AEs and can include a 
deterioration of a pre-existing medical occurrence. An AE may occur at any time, including 
run-in or washout periods, even if no study intervention has been administered.
B 2
Definition of Serious Adverse Events
A serious adverse event is an AE occurring during any study phase (ie, run-in, treatment, 
washout, follow-up), that fulfils one or more of the following criteria:
!
Results in death.
!
Is immediately life-threatening.
!
Requires in-participant hospitalisation or prolongation of existing hospitalisation.
!
Results in persistent or significant disability or incapacity.
!
Is a congenital abnormality or birth defect.
!
Is an important medical event that may jeopardise the participant or may require medical 
treatment to prevent one of the outcomes listed above.
Adverse Events for malignant tumours reported during a study should generally be assessed 
as Serious AEs. If no other seriousness criteria apply, the ‘Important Medical Event’ criterion 
should be used. In certain situations, however, medical judgment on an individual event basis 
should be applied to clarify that the malignant tumour event should be assessed and reported 
as a non-serious AE. For example, if the tumour is included as medical history and 
progression occurs during the study, but the progression does not change treatment and/or 
prognosis of the malignant tumour, the AE may not fulfil the attributes for being assessed as 
serious, although reporting of the progression of the malignant tumour as an AE is valid and 
should occur. Also, some types of malignant tumours, which do not spread remotely after a 
routine treatment that does not require hospitalisation, may be assessed as non-serious; 
examples in adults include Stage 1 basal cell carcinoma and Stage 1A1 cervical cancer 
removed via cone biopsy.

CONFIDENTIAL AND PROPRIETARY
86 of 126
Life-threatening
‘Life-threatening’ means that the participant was at immediate risk of death from the AE as it 
occurred, or it is suspected that use or continued use of the product would result in the 
participant’s death. ‘Life-threatening’ does not mean that had an AE occurred in a more severe 
form it might have caused death (eg, hepatitis that resolved without hepatic failure).
Hospitalisation
Outpatient treatment in an emergency room is not in itself a serious AE, although the reasons 
for it may be (eg, bronchospasm, laryngeal oedema). Hospital admissions and/or surgical 
operations planned before or during a study are not considered AEs if the illness or disease 
existed before the participant was screened in the study, provided that it did not deteriorate in 
an unexpected way during the study.
Important Medical Event or Medical Treatment
Medical and scientific judgment should be exercised in deciding whether a case is serious in 
situations where important medical events may not be immediately life-threatening or result in 
death, hospitalisation, disability, or incapacity but may jeopardise the participant or may 
require medical treatment to prevent one or more outcomes listed in the definition of serious. 
These should usually be considered as serious.
Simply stopping the suspect drug does not mean that it is an important medical event; medical 
judgment must be used. Below are some examples of events that may be considered medically 
important based on the investigator’s judgment:
!
Angioedema not severe enough to require intubation but requiring iv hydrocortisone 
treatment.
!
Hepatotoxicity caused by paracetamol (acetaminophen) overdose requiring treatment with 
N-acetylcysteine.
!
Intensive treatment in an emergency room or at home for allergic bronchospasm.
!
Blood dyscrasias (eg, neutropenia or anaemia requiring blood transfusion) or convulsions 
that do not result in hospitalisation.
!
Development of drug dependency or drug abuse.
Intensity Rating Scale:
!
Mild (awareness of sign or symptom, but easily tolerated).
!
Moderate (discomfort sufficient to cause interference with normal activities).
!
Severe (incapacitating, with inability to perform normal activities).

It is important to distinguish between serious and severe AEs. Severity is a measure of 
intensity whereas seriousness is defined by the criteria in Appendix B 2. An AE of severe 
intensity need not necessarily be considered serious. For example, nausea that persists for 
several hours may be considered severe nausea, but not a SAE unless it meets the criteria 
shown in Appendix B 2. On the other hand, a stroke that results in only a limited degree of 
disability may be considered a mild stroke but would be a SAE when it satisfies the criteria 
shown in Appendix B 2.
B 3
A Guide to Interpreting the Causality Question
When making an assessment of causality consider the following factors when deciding if there 
is a ‘reasonable possibility’ that an AE may have been caused by the drug.
!
Time Course. Exposure to suspect drug. Has the participant actually received the suspect
drug? Did the AE occur in a reasonable temporal relationship to the administration of the 
suspect drug?
!
Consistency with known drug profile. Was the AE consistent with the previous 
knowledge of the suspect drug (pharmacology and toxicology) or drugs of the same 
pharmacological class? Or could the AE be anticipated from its pharmacological 
properties?
!
De-challenge experience. Did the AE resolve or improve on stopping or reducing the dose 
of the suspect drug?
!
No alternative cause. The AE cannot be reasonably explained by another aetiology such 
as the underlying disease, other drugs, other host, or environmental factors.
!
Re-challenge experience. Did the AE reoccur if the suspected drug was reintroduced after 
having been stopped? AstraZeneca would not normally recommend or support a 
re-challenge.
!
Laboratory tests. A specific laboratory investigation (if performed) has confirmed the 
relationship.
In difficult cases, other factors could be considered such as:
!
Is this a recognised feature of overdose of the drug?
!
Is there a known mechanism?
Causality of ‘related’ is made if following a review of the relevant data, there is evidence for a 
‘reasonable possibility’ of a causal relationship for the individual case. The expression 
‘reasonable possibility’ of a causal relationship is meant to convey, in general, that there are 
facts (evidence) or arguments to suggest a causal relationship.

Clinical Study Protocol - Amendment 3
AstraZeneca
Zibotentan and Dapagliflozin - D4325C00001
CONFIDENTIAL AND PROPRIETARY
88 of 126
The causality assessment is performed based on the available data including enough 
information to make an informed judgment. With no available facts or arguments to suggest a 
causal relationship, the event(s) will be assessed as ‘not related’.
Causal relationship in cases where the disease under study has deteriorated due to lack of 
effect should be classified as no reasonable possibility.
B 4
Medication Error, Drug Abuse, and Drug Misuse
For the purposes of this clinical study a medication error is an unintended failure or mistake in 
the treatment process for an AstraZeneca study intervention that either causes harm to the 
participant or has the potential to cause harm to the participant.
A medication error is not lack of efficacy of the drug, but rather a human or process related 
failure while the drug is in control of the study site staff or participant.
Medication error includes situations where an error.
!
Occurred.
!
Was identified and intercepted before the participant received the drug.
!
Did not occur, but circumstances were recognised that could have led to an error.
Examples of events to be reported in clinical studies as medication errors:
!
Drug name confusion.
!
Dispensing error eg, medication prepared incorrectly, even if it was not actually given to 
the participant.
!
Drug not administered as indicated, for example, wrong route or wrong site of 
administration.
!
Drug not taken as indicated eg, tablet dissolved in water when it should be taken as a 
solid tablet.
!
Drug not stored as instructed eg, kept in the fridge when it should be at room temperature.
!
Wrong participant received the medication (excluding IRT/RTSM errors).
!
Wrong drug administered to participant (excluding IRT/RTSM errors).
Examples of events that do not require reporting as medication errors in clinical studies:
!
Errors related to or resulting from IRT/RTSM - including those which lead to one of the 
above listed events that would otherwise have been a medication error.
!
Participant accidentally missed drug dose(s) eg, forgot to take medication.

!
Accidental overdose (will be captured as an overdose).
!
Participant failed to return unused medication or empty packaging.
!
Errors related to background and rescue medication, or SoC medication in open label 
studies, even if an AstraZeneca product.
Medication errors are not regarded as AEs, but AEs may occur as a consequence of the 
medication error.
Drug Abuse
For the purpose of this study, drug abuse is defined as the persistent or sporadic intentional, 
non-therapeutic excessive use of IMP or AstraZeneca NIMP for a perceived reward or desired 
non-therapeutic effect.
Any events of drug abuse, with or without associated AEs, are to be captured and forwarded to 
the Data Entry Site (DES) using the Drug Abuse Report Form. This form should be used both 
if the drug abuse happened in a study participant or if the drug abuse involves a person not 
enrolled in the study (such as a relative of the study participant).
Examples of drug abuse include but are not limited to:
!
The drug is used with the intent of getting a perceived reward (by the study participant or 
a person not enrolled in the study)
!
The drug in the form of a tablet is crushed and injected or snorted with the intent of 
getting high
Drug Misuse
Drug misuse is the intentional and inappropriate use (by a study participant) of IMP or 
AstraZeneca NIMP for medicinal purposes outside of the authorised product information, or 
for unauthorised IMPs or AstraZeneca NIMPs, outside the intended use as specified in the 
protocol and includes deliberate administration of the product by the wrong route.
Events of drug misuse, with or without associated AEs, are to be captured and forwarded to 
the DES using the Drug Misuse Report Form. This form should be used both if the drug 
misuse happened in a study participant or if the drug misuse regards a person not enrolled in 
the study (such as a relative of the study participant).
Examples of drug misuse include but are not limited to:
!
The drug is used with the intention to cause an effect in another person
!
The drug is sold to other people for recreational purposes 
!
The drug is used to facilitate assault in another person

Handling of Human Biological Samples
C 1
Chain of Custody
A full chain of custody is maintained for all samples throughout their lifecycle.
The investigator at each centre keeps full traceability of collected biological samples from the 
participants while in storage at the centre until shipment or disposal (where appropriate) and 
records relevant processing information related to the samples whilst at site.
The sample receiver keeps full traceability of the samples while in storage and during use until 
used or disposed of or until further shipment and keeps record of receipt of arrival and onward 
shipment or disposal.
AstraZeneca or delegated representatives will keep oversight of the entire life cycle through 
internal procedures, monitoring of study sites, auditing or process checks, and contractual 
requirements of external laboratory providers.
Samples retained for further use will be stored in the AstraZeneca-assigned biobanks or other 
sample archive facilities and will be tracked by the appropriate AstraZeneca Team during for 
the remainder of the sample life cycle.
C 2
Withdrawal of Informed Consent for Donated Biological Samples
If a participant withdraws consent to the use of donated biological samples, the samples will 
be disposed of/destroyed/repatriated, and the action documented. If samples are already 
analysed, AstraZeneca is not obliged to destroy the results of this research.
Following withdrawal of consent for biological samples, further study participation should be 
considered in relation to the withdrawal processes outlined in the informed consent.
The investigator:
!
Ensures participant’s withdrawal of informed consent to the use of donated samples is 
highlighted immediately to AstraZeneca or delegate.
!
Ensures that relevant human biological samples from that participant, if stored at the 
study site, are immediately identified, disposed of as appropriate, and the action 
documented.
!
Ensures that the participant and AstraZeneca are informed about the sample disposal.
AstraZeneca ensures the organisation(s) holding the samples is/are informed about the 
withdrawn consent immediately and that samples are disposed of or repatriated as appropriate, 
and the action is documented, and study site is notified.

LABELLING AND SHIPMENT OF BIOHAZARD SAMPLES
International Airline Transportation Association (IATA) 
(https://www.iata.org/whatwedo/cargo/dgr/Pages/download.aspx) classifies infectious 
substances into 3 categories: Category A, Category B or Exempt
Category A Infectious Substances are infectious substances in a form that, when exposure to 
it occurs, is capable of causing permanent disability, life-threatening or fatal disease in 
otherwise healthy humans or animals. 
Category A Pathogens are, eg, Ebola, Lassa fever virus. Infectious substances meeting these 
criteria which cause disease in humans or both in humans and animals must be assigned to 
UN 2814. Infectious substances which cause disease only in animals must be assigned to 
UN 2900.
Category B Infectious Substances are infectious Substances that do not meet the criteria for 
inclusion in Category A. Category B pathogens are, eg, Hepatitis A, C, D, and E viruses. They 
are assigned the following UN number and proper shipping name:
!
UN 3373 – Biological Substance, Category B.
!
are to be packed in accordance with UN 3373 and IATA 650.
Exempt - Substances which do not contain infectious substances or substances which are 
unlikely to cause disease in humans or animals are not subject to these Regulations unless they 
meet the criteria for inclusion in another class.
!
Clinical study samples will fall into Category B or exempt under IATA regulations.
!
Clinical study samples will routinely be packed and transported at ambient temperature in 
IATA 650 compliant packaging 
(https://www.iata.org/whatwedo/cargo/dgr/Documents/DGR-60-EN-PI650.pdf).

Optional Genomics Initiative Sample
D 1
Use/Analysis of DNA
!
AstraZeneca intends to collect and store DNA for genetic research to explore how genetic 
variations may affect clinical parameters, risk and prognosis of diseases, and the response 
to medications. This genetic research may lead to better understanding of diseases, better 
diagnosis of diseases or other improvements in health care and to the discovery of new 
diagnostics, treatments, or medications. Therefore, where local regulations and IRB/IEC 
allow, a blood sample will be collected for DNA analysis from consenting participants.
!
This optional genetic research may consist of the analysis of the structure of the 
participant´s DNA, ie, the entire genome.
!
The results of genetic analyses may be reported in a separate study summary.
!
The sponsor will store the DNA samples in a secure storage space with adequate 
measures to protect confidentiality.
!
The samples will be retained while research on zibotentan and dapagliflozin or other 
AstraZeneca investigational products of the same classes or for these indications 
continues but no longer than 15 years or other period as per local requirements.

Genetic Research Plan and Procedures
Selection of Genetic Research Population
!
All participants will be asked to participate in this genetic research. Participation is 
voluntary and if a participant declines to participate there will be no penalty or loss of 
benefit. The participant will not be excluded from any aspect of the main study.
Inclusion Criteria
For inclusion in this genetic research, participants must fulfil all of the inclusion criteria 
described in the main body of the CSP and must provide informed consent for the Genomics 
Initiative sampling and analyses.
Exclusion Criteria
Exclusion from this genetic research may be for any of the exclusion criteria specified in the 
main study or any of the following:
!
Previous allogeneic bone marrow transplant.
!
Non-leukocyte depleted whole blood transfusion within 120 days of genetic sample 
collection.

Withdrawal of Consent for Genetic Research
!
Participants may withdraw from this genetic research at any time, independent of any 
decision concerning participation in other aspects of the main study. Voluntary 
withdrawal will not prejudice further treatment. Procedures for withdrawal are outlined in 
Section 7.2 of the main CSP.
Collection of Samples for Genetic Research
!
The blood sample for this genetic research will be obtained from the participants at 
Visit 2, at or after randomisation. Although DNA is stable, early sample collection is 
preferred to avoid introducing bias through excluding participants who may withdraw due 
to an AE. If for any reason the sample is not drawn at Visit 2, it may be taken at any visit 
until the last study visit. Only one sample should be collected per participant for genetics 
during the study.
Coding and Storage of DNA Samples
!
The processes adopted for the coding and storage of samples for genetic analysis are 
important to maintain participant confidentiality. Samples will be stored for a maximum 
of 15 years, from the date of last participant last visit, after which they will be destroyed. 
DNA is a finite resource that is used up during analyses. Samples will be stored and used 
until no further analyses are possible or the maximum storage time has been reached.
!
An additional second code will be assigned to the sample either before or at the time of 
DNA extraction replacing the information on the sample tube. Thereafter, the sample will 
be identifiable only by the second, unique number. This number is used to identify the 
sample and corresponding data at the AstraZeneca genetics laboratories, or at the 
designated organisation. No personal details identifying the individual will be available to 
any person (AstraZeneca employee or designated organisations working with the DNA).
!
The link between the participant inclusion/randomisation code and the second number 
will be maintained and stored in a secure environment, with restricted access at 
AstraZeneca or designated organisations. The link will be used to identify the relevant 
DNA samples for analysis, facilitate correlation of genotypic results with clinical data, 
allow regulatory audit, and permit tracing of samples for destruction in the case of 
withdrawal of consent.
Ethical and Regulatory Requirements
!
The principles for ethical and regulatory requirements for the study, including this 
genetics research component, are outlined in Appendix A.

Informed Consent
!
The genetic component of this study is optional, and the participant may participate in 
other components of the main study without participating in this genetic component. To 
participate in the genetic component of the study the participant must sign and date both 
the consent form for the main study and the addendum for the Genomics Initiative 
component of the study. Copies of both signed and dated consent forms must be given to 
the participant and the original filed at the study centre. The principal investigators are
responsible for ensuring that consent is given freely, and that the participant understands 
that they may freely withdrawal from the genetic aspect of the study at any time.
Participant Data Protection
!
AstraZeneca will not provide individual genotype results to participants, any insurance 
company, any employer, their family members, general physician unless required to do so 
by law.
!
Extra precautions are taken to preserve confidentiality and prevent genetic data being 
linked to the identity of the participant. In exceptional circumstances, however, certain 
individuals might see both the genetic data and the personal identifiers of a participant. 
For example, in the case of a medical emergency, an AstraZeneca Physician or an 
investigator might know a participant’s identity and also have access to his or her genetic 
data. Regulatory authorities may require access to the relevant files, though the 
participant’s medical information and the genetic files would remain physically separate.
Data Management
!
Data will be reported separately from the CSR.
!
Any genetic data generated in this study will be stored at a secure system at AstraZeneca 
and/or designated organisations to analyse the samples.
!
AstraZeneca and its designated organisations may share summary results (such as genetic 
differences from groups of individuals with a disease) from this genetic research with 
other researchers, such as hospitals, academic organisations, or health insurance 
companies. This can be done by placing the results in scientific databases, where they can 
be combined with the results of similar studies to learn even more about health and 
disease. The researchers can only use this information for health-related research 
purposes. Researchers may see summary results, but they will not be able to see 
individual participant data or any personal identifiers.
!
Some or all of the clinical datasets from the main study may be merged with the genetic 
data in a suitable secure environment separate from the clinical database.

Appendix E
Actions Required in Cases of Increases in Liver Biochemistry 
and Evaluation of Hy’s Law
E 1
Introduction
This Appendix describes the process to be followed in order to identify and appropriately 
report Potential Hy’s Law (PHL) cases and Hy’s Law (HL) cases. It is not intended to be a 
comprehensive guide to the management of elevated liver biochemistries.
During the course of the study the investigator will remain vigilant for increases in liver 
biochemistry. The investigator is responsible for determining whether a participant meets 
potential PHL criteria at any point during the study.
All sources of laboratory data are appropriate for the determination of PHL and HL events; 
this includes samples taken at scheduled study visits and other visits including central and all 
local laboratory evaluations even if collected outside of the study visits; for example, PHL 
criteria could be met by an elevated ALT from a central laboratory and/or elevated TBL from 
a local laboratory.
The investigator will also review Adverse Event data (for example, for AEs that may indicate 
elevations in liver biochemistry) for possible PHL events.
The investigator participates, together with AstraZeneca clinical project representatives, in 
review and assessment of cases meeting PHL criteria to agree whether Hy’s Law (HL) criteria 
are met. HL criteria are met if there is no alternative explanation for the elevations in liver 
biochemistry other than Drug Induced Liver Injury (DILI) caused by the Investigational 
Medicinal Product (IMP).
The investigator is responsible for recording data pertaining to PHL/HL cases and for
reporting SAEs and AEs according to the outcome of the review and assessment in line with 
standard safety reporting processes.
E 2
Definitions
Potential Hy’s Law
Aspartate Aminotransferase (AST) or Alanine Aminotransferase (ALT) ≥3 × Upper Limit of 
Normal (ULN) together with Total Bilirubin (TBL) ≥2 × ULN at any point during the study 
following the start of investigational product irrespective of an increase in Alkaline 
Phosphatase (ALP).
Hy’s Law
AST or ALT ≥3 × ULN together with TBL ≥2 × ULN, where no other reason, other than the 
IMP, can be found to explain the combination of increases, eg, elevated ALP indicating 
cholestasis, viral hepatitis, another drug.

For PHL and HL the elevation in transaminases must precede or be coincident with (ie, on the 
same day) the elevation in TBL, but there is no specified timeframe within which the 
elevations in transaminases and TBL must occur.
E 3
Identification of Potential Hy’s Law Cases
In order to identify cases of PHL it is important to perform a comprehensive review of 
laboratory data for any participant who meets any of the following identification criteria in 
isolation or in combination:
!
ALT ≥3 × ULN.
!
AST ≥3 × ULN.
!
TBL ≥2 × ULN.
Central Laboratories Being Used:
When a participant meets any of the PHL identification criteria, in isolation or in combination, 
the central laboratory will immediately send an alert to the investigator (also sent to 
AstraZeneca representative).
The investigator will also remain vigilant for any local laboratory reports where the PHL 
identification criteria are met, where this is the case the investigator will:
!
Notify the AstraZeneca representative.
!
Request a repeat of the test (new blood draw) by the central laboratory without delay.
!
Complete the appropriate unscheduled laboratory eCRF module(s) with the original local 
laboratory test result.
When the identification criteria are met from central or local laboratory results the investigator
will without delay:
!
Determine whether the participant meets PHL criteria (see Section E 2 for definition) by 
reviewing laboratory reports from all previous visits (including both central and local 
laboratory results).
E 4
Follow-up
E 4.1
Potential Hy’s Law Criteria not met
If the participant does not meet PHL criteria the investigator will:
!
Inform the AstraZeneca representative that the participant has not met PHL criteria.

Clinical Study Protocol - Amendment 3
AstraZeneca
Zibotentan and Dapagliflozin - D4325C00001
CONFIDENTIAL AND PROPRIETARY

!
Perform follow-up on subsequent laboratory results according to the guidance provided in 
the CSP.
E 4.2
Potential Hy’s Law Criteria met
If the participant does meet PHL criteria the investigator will:
!
Notify the AstraZeneca representative who will then inform the central Study Team.
!
Within 1 day of PHL criteria being met, the investigator will report the case as an SAE of 
Potential Hy’s Law; serious criteria ‘Important medical event’ and causality assessment 
‘yes/related’ according to CSP process for SAE reporting.
!
For participants that met PHL criteria prior to starting IMP, the investigator is not 
required to submit a PHL SAE unless there is a significant change# in the participant’s 
condition.
!
The Study Physician contacts the investigator, to provide guidance, discuss and agree an 
approach for the study participants’ follow-up (including any further laboratory testing) 
and the continuous review of data.
!
Subsequent to this contact the investigator will:
∀
Monitor the participant until liver biochemistry parameters and appropriate clinical 
symptoms and signs return to normal or baseline levels, or as long as medically 
indicated. Completes follow-up SAE Form as required.
∀
Investigate the aetiology of the event and perform diagnostic investigations as 
discussed with the Study Physician. This includes deciding which the tests available 
in the Hy’s law laboratory kit should be used.
∀
Complete the three Liver eCRF Modules as information becomes available.
#A ‘significant’ change in the participant’s condition refers to a clinically relevant change in 
any of the individual liver biochemistry parameters (ALT, AST, or total bilirubin) in isolation 
or in combination, or a clinically relevant change in associated symptoms. The determination 
of whether there has been a significant change will be at the discretion of the investigator, this 
may be in consultation with the Study Physician if there is any uncertainty.
E 5
Review and Assessment of Potential Hy’s Law Cases
The instructions in this Section should be followed for all cases where PHL criteria are met.
As soon as possible after the biochemistry abnormality was initially detected, the Study 
Physician contacts the investigator in order to review available data and agree on whether 
there is an alternative explanation for meeting PHL criteria other than DILI caused by the 
IMP, to ensure timely analysis and reporting to health authorities within 15 calendar days from 

Clinical Study Protocol - Amendment 3

date PHL criteria was met. The AstraZeneca Global Clinical Lead or equivalent and Global 
Safety Physician will also be involved in this review together with other subject matter experts 
as appropriate.
According to the outcome of the review and assessment, the investigator will follow the 
instructions below.
Where there is an agreed alternative explanation for the ALT or AST and TBL elevations, a 
determination of whether the alternative explanation is an AE will be made and subsequently 
whether the AE meets the criteria for a SAE:
!
If the alternative explanation is not an AE, record the alternative explanation on the 
appropriate eCRF.
!
If the alternative explanation is an AE/SAE: update the previously submitted Potential 
Hy’s Law SAE and AE eCRFs accordingly with the new information (reassessing event 
term; causality and seriousness criteria) following the AstraZeneca standard processes.
If it is agreed that there is no explanation that would explain the ALT or AST and TBL 
elevations other than the IMP:
!
Send updated SAE (report term ‘Hy’s Law’) according to AstraZeneca standard 
processes.
∀
The ‘Medically Important’ serious criterion should be used if no other serious 
criteria apply.
∀
As there is no alternative explanation for the HL case, a causality assessment of 
‘related’ should be assigned.
If there is an unavoidable delay of over 15 calendar days in obtaining the information 
necessary to assess whether or not the case meets the criteria for HL, then it is assumed that 
there is no alternative explanation until such time as an informed decision can be made:
!
Provides any further update to the previously submitted SAE of Potential Hy’s Law, 
(report term now ‘Hy’s Law case’) ensuring causality assessment is related to IMP and 
seriousness criteria is medically important, according to CSP process for SAE reporting.
!
Continue follow-up and review according to agreed plan. Once the necessary 
supplementary information is obtained, repeat the review and assessment to determine 
whether HL criteria are still met. Update the previously submitted PHL SAE report 
following CSP process for SAE reporting, according to the outcome of the review and 
amending the reported term if an alternative explanation for the liver biochemistry 
elevations is determined.

COVID-19 Specifics
F 1
Background to COVID-19
There is currently an outbreak of respiratory disease (COVID-19) caused by a novel 
SARS-CoV-2 that was first detected in Wuhan City, Hubei Province, China in 2019. This new 
virus has rapidly spread across the globe causing the World Health Organization to declare a
pandemic situation on 12 March 2020. The countermeasures initiated by national and local 
governments worldwide and the recommendations issued by the health authorities have 
impacted current and new clinical studies. As the threat of pandemic burden including new 
outbreaks, locally or globally, will impact the further conduct of clinical studies, appropriate 
risk assessments and mitigation measures will need to be taken into consideration in all 
clinical studies to protect subjects, site staff, and society as a whole.
Both EMA and Food and Drug Administration (FDA) as well as national health authorities in 
Europe have issued new guidelines that aim to provide recommendations for actions for 
conduct of clinical studies of medical products during COVID-19 pandemic. Since the 
pandemic situation is evolving, guidelines, recommendations, national laws, and local 
restrictions may change at high pace. Given the circumstances of potentially relapsing 
pandemic or epidemic situation with regard to the spread of COVID-19 in future, special 
attention will be paid to protect participants in the study and site staff involved in the 
investigations against infection with SARS-CoV-2 as requested by the newly issued EMA 
guideline.
F 2
Risk Assessment for COVID-19 Pandemic
The mechanism of action of either zibotentan and/or dapagliflozin are unlikely to impact the 
course of infection with SARS-CoV-2. Dapagliflozin is an anti-glycaemic agent and 
zibotentan is an ETA receptor antagonist; neither is expected to cause immune suppression.
Therefore, risk for the participants to be exposed to SARS-CoV-2 or to suffer from COVID-19 
is expected to be similar to the background population with the same co-morbidities, in 
particular CKD. The risk of exposure to infected people cannot be completely excluded as the 
participants may need to be in public areas (eg, commute to the site) and have additional 
human contact (eg, with site staff and other participants of the clinical study).
Measures to mitigate the additional risks caused by COVID-19 are:
!
This study is going to start including participants only when the sponsor and CRO in 
collaboration deem it is safe to start the study. In addition, the study will not start until the 
local confinement measures or other safety restrictions linked to the COVID-19 pandemic 
imposed by the local authorities are compatible with safe conduct of the study.
!
Current national laws and local recommendations for prevention of pandemic will be 
strictly adhered to.

!
Participants will be closely monitored for any signs and symptoms of COVID-19, 
including fever, dry cough, dyspnoea, sore throat, and fatigue throughout the study during 
the pandemic. Once clinical signs of infection are reported by participants, the 
investigator needs to determine whether samples can be collected, and safety data can be 
recorded on site. If not, AEs and concomitant medications will be obtained via phone 
calls. The decision to continue with dosing the participant with the investigational 
products in the event of him/her showing symptoms of COVID-19 infection will be per 
investigator’s discretion.
!
The probability of virus transmission will be controlled as much as possible by:
∀
Advice for participant to adhere to local requirements for reduction of the public 
exposure while ambulatory.
∀
Confirmation of COVID-19 infection by optional laboratory assessment will be 
conducted based on availability (test capacity and turnaround time) of approved tests 
and on investigator’s discretion.
∀
Requesting all participants are contacted by phone 1 day prior to every visit for 
assessing COVID-19 symptoms and signs and are asked not to attend the site in case 
of suspected reports. In addition, participants are asked for any contact with a person 
who has tested positive for SARS-CoV-2. If applicable, participants will be referred 
to the local health care system for further follow-up and treatment.
∀
Physical distancing and person-to-person contact restrictions will be applied during 
site visits.
∀
Where physical distancing is not possible, personal protective equipment will be used 
by study participants (surgical face mask, gloves) and staff (for example but not 
limited to masks, gloves, protectors, medical suits) if deemed appropriate by the 
investigators and site staff and guided by local requirements.
∀
Logistical improvements of the site and structural measures of the study site building 
will be implemented to further improve physical distancing.
!
If site visits are not possible due to local restrictions, home nursing visits may be 
considered after discussion with and approval by the sponsor.
F 3
Restrictions Related to COVID-19
During the COVID-19 pandemic, participants are advised to adhere to local requirements for 
reduction of the public SARS-CoV-2 exposure while ambulatory. If applicable, prior to 
screening (Visit 1), potential participants should be called to confirm they are not experiencing 
any COVID-19 symptoms and signs and are asked not to attend the site in case of suspected 
infection. If appropriate, participants will be referred to the local health care system. Physical 
distancing and person-to-person contact restrictions will be applied and explained to 
participants while staying at the study site. Where physical distancing is not possible, study

Protocol Amendment History
The Protocol Amendment Summary of Changes Table for the current amendment is located 
directly before the Table of Contents.
Amendment 2 (05 Apr 2022)
This amendment is considered to be substantial based on the criteria set forth in Article 10(a) 
of Directive 2001/20/EC of the European Parliament and the Council of the European Union.
Overall Rationale for the Amendment:
The amended CSP (Amendment 1, dated 03 December 2021) was updated to implement 
recommendations of an AstraZeneca URC following an ad hoc safety interim analysis on 
11 February 2022. The recommendation was to close further randomisation of participants to 
both the zibotentan 5 mg monotherapy arm and the zibotentan 5 mg/dapagliflozin 10 mg arm
due to the rate of fluid retention events in these two treatment arms. Fluid retention is a known 
risk with zibotentan. The study had to be temporarily halted for recruitment until the IXRS 
system was updated for this change. Participants that were already randomised at the time of 
discontinuation were allowed to continue with their randomised treatment allocation based on 
the assessment schedule provided in CSP Amendment 1. The dapagliflozin 10 mg arm and 
placebo arm were not affected by the halt. Principal investigators, regulatory authorities and 
IRBs were informed about the recruitment halt in the high dose zibotentan arms and 
temporary halt in the other treatment arms due to IXRS update.
Additionally, new clinical guidelines on the management of CKD have established SGLT2 
inhibitors as a SoC which has led to the need to reconsider the inclusion of a placebo 
treatment arm in the study. As a result, dapagliflozin 10 mg will be used in the new design as 
primary active comparator instead of placebo, thus further randomisation of participants to the 
placebo arm was closed. Following this change, participant numbers in the remaining
treatment arms were redistributed to ensure the study would achieve the desired level of 
statistical power. At the time of discontinuation of the zibotentan high dose monotherapy arm, 
high dose zibotentan/dapagliflozin combination arm and placebo comparator arm, 
54 participants were randomised into Part A and 52 participants had already been randomised 
into Part B. Approximately 26 out of the 52 participants were randomised to the treatment 
arms that have been closed to further randomisation. Data from Part A will be reported 
descriptively and separately from Part B within the CSR, unless specified otherwise.

Amendment 1 (03 Dec 2021)
This amendment is considered to be substantial based on the criteria set forth in Article 10(a) 
of Directive 2001/20/EC of the European Parliament and the Council of the European Union.
Overall Rationale for the Amendment:
The original CSP was updated to provide overall clarification on study procedures based on 
investigator feedback. To align the study population with the target population in Phase 3, the 
lower eGFR limit was decreased to eGFR ≥20 mL/min/1.73 m2, the upper limit of 
≤60 mL/min/1.73 m2 was removed, and the lower UACR limit was decreased to ≥150 mg/g. 
Local BNP testing after screening was removed from the CSP as the existing testing at the 
central laboratory will ensure more homogeneous results and some countries are unable to 
perform local BNP testing. Accordingly, local NT-proBNP was added as an option at the

screening visit. Home-based ABPM and heart rate monitoring was removed as only 
clinic-based monitoring is contributing to the database and participants were finding the 
home-based device too burdensome to wear during daily activities.
The start of Part A of the study was delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic causing a greater 
overlap of Part A and Part B recruitment timelines globally than was originally planned. 
Therefore, the data contributing to the interim analyses (1.0 and 1.1) and the data to be 
reviewed was combined from Part A and Part B to reduce unnecessary exposure of 
participants to the study intervention.
The COVID-19 testing regimen was updated to facilitate enrolment and because testing as 
screening only is sufficient.
