Mineralocorticoid Receptor Antagonist Use in Chronic Kidney Disease with Type 2 Diabetes: A Clinical Practice Document by the European Renal Best Practice (ERBP) Board of the European Renal Association (ERA)

Clin Kidney J. 2023;16:1885–1907

Patients with CKD and T2D are at high risk of both developing kidney failure and of CV events. With RAS blockers, residual risk of CKD progression remains high and no significant reduction in CV events and mortality has been seen in major studies in patients with CKD and T2D. Steroidal MRAs have been shown to reduce albuminuria in individuals on RAS monotherapy, but widespread clinical use is limited by the risk of hyperkalaemia and the absence of trials with hard renal outcomes. In recent years, non-steroidal MRAs have received increasing interest due to their better pharmacological profile, particularly finerenone, which effectively reduced CKD progression and CV outcomes in participants with T2D in Phase 3 trials.

Efficacy of Finerenone in Patients with Type 2 Diabetes, Chronic Kidney Disease and Altered Markers of Liver Steatosis and Fibrosis: A FIDELITY Subgroup Analysis

Diabetes Obes Metab. 2023; online ahead of print DOI: 10.1111/dom.15305

This post hoc subgroup analysis from FIDELITY investigated the effect of finerenone on liver function, cardiovascular and kidney composite outcomes in patients with CKD and T2D, stratified by their risk of liver steatosis, inflammation and fibrosis.

The Impact of Obesity on Cardiovascular and Kidney Outcomes in Patients with Chronic Kidney Disease and Type 2 Diabetes Treated with Finerenone: Post hoc analysis of the FIDELITY Study

Diabetes Obes Metab. 2023 doi Epub ahead of print : 10.1111/dom.15197

Patients with obesity may benefit more from treatment with mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists given their higher levels of circulating aldosterone and therefore potentially higher levels of MRs in visceral fat. The aim of this analysis was to assess the effect of finerenone on the risk of cardiovascular and kidney outcomes in patients with chronic kidney disease and type 2 diabetes, with and without obesity.

Benefits and Harms of Drug Treatment for Type 2 Diabetes: Systematic Review and Network Meta-Analysis of Randomised Controlled Trials

BMJ 2023;381:e074068 DOI 10.1136/bmj-2022-074068

Keeping abreast of the rising volume of randomized trials in adults with type 2 diabetes presents a formidable task. Recent randomized trials have shown cardiovascular and kidney advantages with finerenone, an innovative non-steroidal mineralocorticoid receptor antagonist, and weight loss with tirzepatide, a dual glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide/glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist.

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.

Effect of Finerenone on Ambulatory Blood Pressure in Chronic Kidney Disease in Type 2 Diabetes

J Hypertens. 2023;41:295–302 DOI: 10.1097/HJH.0000000000003330

It has been postulated that the effects of finerenone on cardiorenal outcomes may be mediated primarily via non-haemodynamic pathways, but office BP measurements are insufficient to fully assess haemodynamic effects. A substudy of the ARTS-DN phase IIb trial was conducted to obtain further insights into the mechanism of action of finerenone by analysing 24-h ambulatory BP in patients with CKD and T2D.
