Efficacy and Safety of Esaxerenone (CS-3150) for the Treatment of Type 2 Diabetes with Microalbuminuria: A Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled, Phase II Trial.

ABSTRACT:

Background and objectives

The progression of kidney disease in some patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus may not be adequately suppressed by renin-angiotensin system inhibitors. Esaxerenone (CS-3150) is a nonsteroidal mineralocorticoid receptor blocker that has shown kidney protective effects in preclinical studies, and it is a potential add-on therapy to treat diabetic kidney disease. This phase 2 study evaluated the efficacy and safety of esaxerenone in Japanese patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus and microalbuminuria.
