Outcomes with Finerenone in Participants with Stage 4 CKD and Type 2 Diabetes: A FIDELITY Subgroup Analysis
Clin J Am Soc Nephrol. 2023; online ahead of print DOI: 10.2215/CJN.0000000000000149
Patients with stage 4 CKD and T2D have limited treatment options to reduce their persistent CV and kidney risk. This post hoc analysis of the FIDELITY database evaluated the effect of finerenone vs placebo in 890 patients with stage 4 CKD and T2D.

Effects of Finerenone in Persons with CKD and T2D are Independent of HbA1c at Baseline, HbA1c Variability, Diabetes Duration and Insulin Use at Baseline
Diabetes Obes Metab. 2023; online ahead of print DOI: 10.1111/dom.14999
Given the role of HbA1c, diabetes duration and insulin use in determining morbidity and mortality of CKD in T2D, it is important to investigate whether these factors modify the efficacy and safety of therapies that mitigate the cardiorenal impact of CKD in T2D. This post hoc analysis of the FIDELITY database evaluated the effect of finerenone by baseline HbA1c, HbA1c variability, diabetes duration and baseline insulin use on cardiorenal outcomes and diabetes progression.

Dose–Exposure–Response Analysis of the Nonsteroidal Mineralocorticoid Receptor Antagonist Finerenone on UACR and eGFR: An Analysis from FIDELIO‑DKD
Clin Pharmacokinet 2022; Ahead of print doi: 10.1007/s40262-022-01124-3
The results of this model-based analysis quantified the dose–exposure–response relationship for urine albumin-to-creatinine ratio (UACR) and estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR). Overall, the relationship between finerenone exposure and UACR and eGFR effects was not modified by sodium-glucose co-transporter-2 inhibitor (SGLT2i) use and demonstrated independent and additive effects.
