Researchers are evaluating the safety and effects of different doses of a new medicine called NNC0519-0130 on kidney function in adults with chronic kidney disease, some of whom may also have type 2 diabetes, and who are living with overweight or obesity. The study compares NNC0519-0130 with semaglutide, an existing medicine, and a placebo, which is a "dummy" treatment. This is a Phase 2 proof-of-concept and dose-finding study aimed at understanding how these treatments may reduce kidney damage. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of three groups receiving either NNC0519-0130, semaglutide, or placebo. All treatments are given by subcutaneous injection once weekly. The study treatment phase lasts up to 36 weeks, with assessments at weeks 12, 24, and 36 to monitor changes in kidney damage by measuring the urinary albumin-to-creatinine ratio. The overall study duration can be up to 43 weeks. During the study, participants will be regularly monitored through laboratory tests and clinical evaluations to assess kidney function and safety. Researchers will measure changes from the start of the study in the urinary albumin-to-creatinine ratio at multiple time points. Participants will also need to have stable doses of certain blood pressure medications before joining. Safety and treatment effects will be assessed throughout the study period.

This study is open to adults aged 18 or above legal age with heart failure. People can join the study if they have heart failure symptoms and a left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) of 40% or more. The purpose of this study is to find out whether vicadrostat (BI 690517) in combination with empagliflozin helps people with heart failure. Participants are put into 2 groups by chance. Every participant has an equal chance of being in each group. The groups are: * Vicadrostat/empagliflozin group: participants take vicadrostat/empagliflozin as tablets once a day. * Placebo/empagliflozin group: participants take placebo/empagliflozin as tablets once a day. Participants can stay in the study as long as they benefit from treatment and can tolerate it. During this time, they visit their doctors regularly. The doctors regularly check participants' health and take note of any unwanted effects. The study staff may also contact the participants by phone. Participants also regularly answer questions about their well-being. The study does not have a fixed duration. It continues until there is enough data to see if the treatment is working.
