Study of Finerenone to Improve Outcomes in Hospitalized Heart Failure Patients With Mildly Reduced or Preserved Left Ventricular Ejection Fraction

What this Trial Is About

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.
