Researchers are studying finerenone to evaluate its safety and effectiveness in patients hospitalized with acute decompensated heart failure who have mildly reduced or preserved left ventricular ejection fraction. This international trial is randomized, double-blind, and placebo-controlled, focusing on how finerenone compares to placebo in reducing heart failure events and cardiovascular death. Participants receive either oral finerenone or a matching placebo while hospitalized or recently discharged for heart failure. The study monitors patients over approximately 30 months to assess the total heart failure events, cardiovascular death, and adverse events related to the treatment. Throughout the study, participants undergo regular assessments including symptom scoring using the Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire, monitoring for serious adverse events, and evaluation of heart failure outcomes. The study tracks safety and efficacy data over the long term, with follow-up visits scheduled to measure the impact of treatment on morbidity and mortality in heart failure patients.

Researchers are evaluating finerenone compared to a placebo to assess the effectiveness and safety of treatment in patients with heart failure and reduced ejection fraction HFrEF who cannot tolerate or are not eligible for steroidal mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists sMRA. This international study is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial focused on this specific group of heart failure patients. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either oral finerenone or a matching placebo. The study uses a parallel design and treatment will be monitored for up to about 30 months. During this time, researchers will track cardiovascular events, heart failure events, and any serious or adverse events leading to discontinuation of the study drug. Throughout the study, participants will undergo regular assessments including symptom questionnaires and monitoring for cardiovascular outcomes and safety. The main outcomes include the time to the first cardiovascular death or heart failure event and the number of serious adverse events. The study also tracks changes in symptom scores over six months and overall survival. Participants will be followed closely during treatment and after to understand both efficacy and safety.
