The available evidence suggests that finerenone offers cardiorenal protection, as observed in patients with HF and mild-to-moderate CKD (phase II study MinerAlocorticoid Receptor antagonist Tolerability Study (ARTS)) and T2D and CKD (phase III studies FIDELIO/FIGARO; phase II study MinerAlocorticoid Receptor antagonist Tolerability Study in Diabetic Nephropathy (ARTS-DN)) via a combination of different mechanisms determined in preclinical studies. Here, NR3C2 is linked to diabetic kidney disease.
