Background
This subgroup analysis of FIDELIO-DKD trial aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of finerenone in chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) in China.
Methods
Three hundred and seventy-two participants who were recruited from 67 centers in China were randomized 1:1 to oral finerenone or placebo with standard therapy for diabetes. The primary outcome was a composite of kidney failure, sustained decrease of estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) >40% from baseline over at least 4 weeks, or renal death. The key secondary composite outcome was a composite of death from cardiovascular causes, nonfatal myocardial infarction, nonfatal stroke, or hospitalization for heart failure.
Results
After a median follow-up of 30 months, the finerenone group showed a relative risk reduction (RRR) of 41% (hazard ratio [HR]=0.59, 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.39 to 0.88; p=0.009) for the primary composite outcome compared to the placebo group, and was consistent across its components with treatment benefit in finerenone group. For the key secondary composite outcome, the finerenone group showed a RRR of 25% (HR=0.75, 95% CI, 0.38 to 1.48; p=0.408), while the global results showed significant differences in favor of finerenone with a RRR of 14% (HR=0.86, 95% CI, 0.75 to 0.99; p=0.03). Adverse events were similar between the two groups. Hyperkalemia leading to discontinuation occurred in 8 (4.3%) and 2 (1.1%) participants in the finerenone and control groups, respectively.
Conclusion
Finerenone resulted in lower risks of CKD progression than placebo and a balanced safety profile in Chinese CKD patients with T2DM.
