Prospects of finerenone use in Russian population of patients with chronic kidney disease and type 2 diabetes. Resolution of multidisciplinary. Advisory board

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D) is one of the most important medical and social problems associated with significant risks for patients and a burden on the national healthcare system. There are significant unmet diagnostic and therapeutic needs of CKD in T2D patients in Russia relating to problems of underdiagnostics of CKD and substantial residual cardiorenal risks in these patients in spite of therapy with registered renoprotective medications. Finerenone is the first selective non-steroidal mineralocorticoid receptor antagonist which targets different from other drugs pathways involved in the pathogenesis of CKD in T2D. It has a significant potential to reduce residual renal and CV risks, and therefore addresses the existing therapeutic unmet need. According to the results of recent clinical studies, the cardio- and renoprotective effects of finerenone were apparent throughout a wide range of CKD C1-C4 in T2D patients, regardless of the severity of kidney dysfunction, the level of HbA1c and other drug therapy. This document summarizes the main results regarding the efficacy and safety profiles of finerenone and determines its place in treatment of CKD in T2D patients.
