Abstract
People living with type 2 diabetes (T2D) and chronic kidney disease (CKD) are at risk of CKD progression and kidney failure. This is a summary of the FIDELITY pooled analysis where two clinical trials (FIDELIO-DKD and FIGARO-DKD) were performed to investigate the safety and efficacy of finerenone in people with T2D and CKD. The data from these two studies were combined and analyzed and it was found that those who took finerenone on top of standard-of-care medicine had a 14% reduced risk of having a cardiovascular event and 23% reduced risk of having a kidney event versus those who took placebo. Those who took finerenone were also more likely to have high blood potassium, but this was mostly manageable.A graphical abstract and translations of all content (Chinese, Japanese, German, Spanish, Brazilian-Portuguese, French) are available for this article.
