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.

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.

Finerenone efficacy in patients with chronic kidney disease, type 2 diabetes and atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease
Eur Heart J Cardiovasc Pharmacother. 2022; online ahead of print DOI: 10.1093/ehjcvp/pvac054
Finerenone reduced the risk of CV and kidney outcomes consistently across the spectrum of CKD in patients with T2D, irrespective of prevalent ASCVD.
Cardiovascular Events with Finerenone in Kidney Disease and Type 2 Diabetes
N Engl J Med 2021;385:2252–63 doi: 10.1056/NEJMoa2110956
Finerenone has desirable effects on cardiorenal outcomes in patients with stage 3 or 4 chronic kidney disease (CKD), type 2 diabetes and severely elevated albuminuria. The outcomes of the use of finerenone are unclear in patients with type 2 diabetes and a wider range of CKD.
