Retinal Protective Effects of Novel Finerenone in Patients With Chronic Kidney Disease

Brief summary (registry, in English)

Interestingly, A hypothesis-generating analysis was conducted from two studies using routine ophthalmological examinations from clinical trial participants (ReFineDR/DeFineDR), suggesting a potential benefit of finerenone in the delay of progression of non-proliferative diabetic retinopathy (NPDR), independent of baseline HbA1c. Potential benefits of finerenone were also observed in the prevention of required ocular interventions. However, the studies relied on routine ophthalmological examinations done retrospectively, which may have affected data quality and certainly affected quantity. Hence, there is a compelling need to conduct randomized studies with adequate power to detect a potential benefit of finerenone in delaying retinopathy progression, particularly given the lack of alternative options for oral treatment of retinopathy.
