What this Trial Is About
Researchers are studying children and young adults aged 1 to 18 years with chronic kidney disease CKD and proteinuria, a condition where the kidneys leak protein into the urine. This study aims to evaluate the long-term safety of finerenone when added to standard treatments called ACE inhibitors or angiotensin receptor blockers ARBs, which are commonly used to control blood pressure and protect kidney function. The research also seeks to understand how well finerenone can reduce protein levels in urine and support kidney health over time. Participants will receive finerenone in doses adjusted by age and body weight, taken orally for up to 18 months alongside their usual ACEI or ARB treatment. The study includes patients who previously took part in a related trial and will follow them for about 19 months, including a one-month follow-up after treatment ends. The research involves one group receiving finerenone openly without placebo or comparison groups. During the study, participants will attend at least 8 to 12 visits depending on their treatment start status. At these visits, doctors will measure vital signs like blood pressure, heart rate, weight, and height perform physical exams collect blood and urine samples to monitor kidney function and protein levels and conduct heart tests using electrocardiograms and echocardiography. Participants and their caregivers will also answer questions about medication use, side effects, and overall well-being. Safety will be closely monitored by tracking any medical problems that arise during the trial.
