Frequently asked questions about Finerenone PEG

What is Finerenone PEG?

Finerenone PEG is a PEG-based oral solution formulation of finerenone, a small molecule drug candidate developed by Bayer AG. It was studied in a Phase 1 clinical pharmacology trial evaluating natriuretic effects, safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics. The trial enrolled 67 healthy male volunteers in Germany.

What does Finerenone PEG target?

Finerenone PEG targets NR3C2, the mineralocorticoid receptor, and acts as an antagonist. By blocking this receptor, the drug is designed to modulate sodium and fluid regulation. This mechanism underlies its investigation for natriuretic effects in the Phase 1 study.

Who makes Finerenone PEG?

Finerenone PEG is developed by Bayer AG, which trades on the OTC market under the ticker BAYRY. Bayer sponsored the Phase 1 clinical pharmacology study of this formulation.

What phase is Finerenone PEG in?

Finerenone PEG is in Phase 1 clinical development. It is investigational and has not been approved by the FDA. The single Phase 1 trial has been completed, and no active trials are currently listed.

What clinical trials is Finerenone PEG in?

Finerenone PEG was studied in one completed Phase 1 trial, NCT01473108, titled "Study to Investigate the Natriuretic Effects, Safety, Tolerability and Pharmacokinetics of BAY94-8862." It was a randomized, controlled trial that enrolled 67 healthy male volunteers in Germany.

Is Finerenone PEG the same as Finerenone (BAY 94-8862) PEG solution?

Yes, Finerenone PEG is also known as Finerenone (BAY 94-8862) PEG solution. BAY 94-8862 is the compound code for finerenone, and the PEG solution refers to this specific formulation studied in the Phase 1 trial.
