Researchers are evaluating the safety and effectiveness of finerenone compared to a placebo in patients hospitalized with acute decompensated heart failure who have mildly reduced or preserved left ventricular ejection fraction. This international, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled Phase 3 trial aims to understand how finerenone affects morbidity and mortality in this patient group. Participants will receive either oral finerenone or a matching oral placebo. The study focuses on patients currently hospitalized or recently discharged with heart failure symptoms and specific heart function measures. The trial is event-driven and will continue for up to approximately 30 months to collect sufficient data on outcomes. During the study, researchers will monitor the total number of heart failure events and cardiovascular deaths, as well as track serious adverse events and any adverse events that lead participants to stop the study drug. These ongoing assessments will help evaluate the overall safety and impact of the treatment over the duration of the trial.
