Treated with an angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor (ACEI) or angiotensin receptor blocker (ARB) at optimized doses defined as maximally tolerable doses within the recommended dose range according to guidelines on blood pressure (BP) management, unchanged for at least 30 days prior to Visit 1. 5. K+ ≤5.0 mmol/L for children ≥2 years of age at both FIONA EoT and Visit 1, and ≤5.3 mmol/L for children <2 years of age at both FIONA EoT and Visit 1 6. Participant is able to receive enteral feeding (solid food, bottle or cup fed, feeding through nasogastric or gastric feeding tubes) with or without breastfeeding. |

Concomitant therapy with both ACEI and ARBs together 10. Concomitant therapy with strong cytochrome P450 isoenzyme 3A4 (CYP3A4) inhibitors, moderate or strong CYP3A4 inducers 11. Previous assignment to treatment during this study 12. Simultaneous participation in another interventional clinical study (e.g., Phase 1 to 4 clinical studies). 13. Experienced a drug-related serious adverse event (SAE) or an adverse event (AE) which led to permanent discontinuation of study intervention during the FIONA study 14.
