Bayer Reports Finerenone T2DM DKD Renal Outcomes Trial Topline Results (FIDELIO-DKD) ; EMPEROR-Reduced at ESC 2020
Here is a brief preview of this blast: Bayer announced positive topline results from its Ph3 FIDELIO-DKD trial evaluating finerenone in T2DM with CKD. Finerenone demonstrated a delayed progression to the primary composite endpoint (onset of kidney failure, sustained decrease of eGFR ≥ 40% from baseline over at least 4 weeks, or renal death). The specific risk reduction was not disclosed. Below, FENIX provides thoughts on the FIDELIO-DKD results including a curious observation that the press release did not mention anything about safety in the trial.
