ABSTRACT: Aims
To explore the modifying effect of glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist (GLP-1RA) use on outcomes with finerenone across a wide spectrum of patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) and type 2 diabetes (T2D) in the pooled analysis of FIDELIO-DKD and FIGARO-DKD.Materials and methods
Patients with T2D and CKD treated with optimized renin-angiotensin system blockade were randomized to finerenone or placebo. Effects of finerenone on a cardiovascular composite outcome (cardiovascular death, nonfatal myocardial infarction, nonfatal stroke, or hospitalization for heart failure) and a kidney composite outcome (kidney failure, sustained ≥57% estimated glomerular filtration rate [eGFR] decline, or renal death), change in urine albumin-to-creatinine ratio (UACR), and safety were analysed by GLP-1RA use.Results
Of 13 026 patients, 944 (7.2%) used GLP-1RAs at baseline. Finerenone reduced the risk of the cardiovascular composite outcome (hazard ratio [HR] 0.76, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.52-1.11 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) irrespective of baseline GLP-1RA use. Reduction in UACR with finerenone at Month 4 was -38% in patients with baseline GLP-1RA use compared with -31% in those without GLP-1RA use (P-interaction = 0.03). Overall safety and incidence of hyperkalaemia were similar, irrespective of GLP-1RA use.Conclusions
The cardiorenal benefits of finerenone on composite cardiovascular and kidney outcomes and UACR reduction in patients with CKD and T2D appear to be maintained, regardless of GLP-1RA use. Subsequent studies are needed to investigate any potential benefit of this combination.
