Abstract
Background
Pooling data from participants with heart failure with mildly reduced ejection fraction (HFmrEF) or heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) from all completed outcomes trials evaluating finerenone to date may enhance understanding of its safety and efficacy in this high-risk and heterogeneous population.
Objectives
In this prespecified participant-level pooled analysis of the FIDELIO-DKD, FIGARO-DKD, and FINEARTS-HF trials (FINE-HEART), we evaluated the safety and efficacy of finerenone in individuals with HFmrEF/HFpEF.
Methods
The treatment effects of finerenone vs placebo on cardiovascular death or heart failure hospitalization were evaluated using Cox proportional hazards regression models stratified by trial. Additional endpoints included cardiovascular death, HF hospitalization, new-onset atrial fibrillation, and all-cause death.
Results
Among 18,991 pooled trial participants, 7,008 (36.9%) had HFmrEF/HFpEF (mean age, 71 ± 10 years; 44% female). Over a median follow-up of 2.5 years, finerenone reduced cardiovascular death or heart failure hospitalization compared with placebo (HR: 0.87 [95% CI: 0.78-0.96]; P = 0.008). Consistent effects were observed across trials (Pinteraction = 0.24), key subgroups, and baseline estimated glomerular filtration rate (Pinteraction = 0.47), urine albumin-to-creatinine ratio (Pinteraction = 0.62), and glycated hemoglobin (Pinteraction = 0.93). Finerenone additionally appeared to reduce heart failure hospitalization (HR: 0.84 [95% CI: 0.74-0.94]; P = 0.003) and new-onset atrial fibrillation (HR: 0.75 [95% CI: 0.58-0.97]; P = 0.030), but did not statistically significantly decrease cardiovascular death or all-cause death. Hyperkalemia was more common, and hypokalemia was less common, with finerenone vs placebo. Serious adverse events were similar between the treatment arms.
Conclusions
This participant-level pooled analysis of 3 large-scale outcomes trials supports the use of finerenone in individuals with HFmrEF/HFpEF across a broad range of cardiovascular-kidney-metabolic risk. (PROSPERO registration: CRD42024570467)
期刊介绍:
JACC: Heart Failure publishes crucial findings on the pathophysiology, diagnosis, treatment, and care of heart failure patients. The goal is to enhance understanding through timely scientific communication on disease, clinical trials, outcomes, and therapeutic advances. The Journal fosters interdisciplinary connections with neuroscience, pulmonary medicine, nephrology, electrophysiology, and surgery related to heart failure. It also covers articles on pharmacogenetics, biomarkers, and metabolomics.
