22-OR: Finerenone in Patients across the Spectrum of CKD and T2D by GLP-1RA Use

Introduction: Finerenone reduced risk of cardiorenal outcomes in patients with CKD and T2D in the FIDELIO-DKD and FIGARO-DKD studies. In FIDELIO-DKD the effects of finerenone on kidney and CV outcomes were consistent irrespective of glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist (GLP-1RA) use, but analyses were better powered to evaluate change in urine albumin-to-creatinine ratio (UACR) . Here, we extend these analyses to patients in both studies (FIDELITY analysis) , thus encompassing a larger population with broader inclusion criteria. Methods: Patients with T2D and CKD (UACR ≥30- Results: Of 13026 patients, 944 (7.2%) received GLP-1RAs at baseline. Results were consistent irrespective of GLP-1RA use at baseline for the CV composite outcome (hazard ratio [HR] 0.76; 95% CI 0.52-1.with GLP-1RA; HR 0.87, 95% CI 0.79-0.96 without GLP-1RA; p-interaction 0.63) , and the kidney composite outcome (HR 0.82; 95% CI 0.45-1.48 with GLP-1RA; HR 0.77, 95% CI 0.67-0.89 without GLP-1RA; p-interaction 0.79) . A greater reduction in UACR was observed with finerenone in patients taking GLP-1RA at baseline (placebo-corrected change -38% with GLP-1RA and -31% without GLP-1RA use; p-interaction 0.03) . Incidence of hyperkalemia was similarly increased with finerenone irrespective of GLP-1RA use at baseline. Conclusion: The benefits of finerenone on composite CV and kidney outcomes in patients with CKD and T2D are not modified by GLP-1RA use at baseline, with an increased effect observed for UACR reduction, suggesting a different mechanism of reduction in albuminuria.
