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.

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.
