Frequently asked questions about Finerenone: 1

What is Finerenone used for?

Finerenone is an investigational small molecule being studied for diabetic kidney disease, kidney transplant complications, left ventricular systolic dysfunction, diabetic nephropathies, heart failure, and worsening chronic heart failure. It is in Phase 3 clinical development for several of these indications, including pediatric heart failure with left ventricular systolic dysfunction.

Who makes Finerenone?

Finerenone is being developed by Bayer AG, a German pharmaceutical company. Bayer's stock is traded over-the-counter under the ticker BAYRY. The drug is also known by the brand name Kerendia and the research code BAY94-8862.

What phase is Finerenone in?

Finerenone is in Phase 3 clinical development for diabetic kidney disease and pediatric heart failure with left ventricular systolic dysfunction. A Phase 2 trial is also recruiting for kidney transplant complications. The drug is investigational and not yet approved for these uses.

What clinical trials is Finerenone in?

Finerenone has five registered trials, including three active recruiting studies. NCT02545049 is a completed Phase 3 trial in diabetic kidney disease with 7,352 participants. NCT06059664 is a recruiting Phase 2 study in kidney transplant recipients. NCT07188805 and NCT07192952 are recruiting Phase 3 pediatric heart failure trials.

Is Finerenone the same as Kerendia?

Yes, Finerenone is the same as Kerendia. Kerendia is the brand name for finerenone, which is also known by the research code BAY94-8862. The drug is being developed by Bayer AG for kidney and heart conditions.

How does Finerenone work?

Finerenone is a small molecule that works by blocking the mineralocorticoid receptor, a protein involved in inflammation and fibrosis. By inhibiting this receptor, finerenone may reduce kidney and heart damage in conditions like diabetic kidney disease and heart failure.
