A study to learn how well the treatment combination of finerenone and empagliflozin works and how safe it is compared to each treatment alone in adult participants with long-term kidney disease (chronic kidney disease) and type 2 diabetes

A parallel-group treatment, Phase 2, double-blind, three-arm study to assess efficacy and safety of finerenone plus empagliflozin compared with either finerenone or empagliflozin in participants with chronic kidney disease and type 2 diabetes. - CONFIDENCE

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: The primary objective is to demonstrate that combination therapy using finerenone and empagliflozin is superior in reducing UACR than either empagliflozin or finerenone alone;Secondary Objective: The secondary outcomes are: - To further investigate the efficacy of combination therapy using finerenone and empagliflozin versus either finerenone or empagliflozin alone. - To evaluate the safety of combination therapy using finerenone and empagliflozin versus either finerenone or empagliflozin alone.;Primary end point(s): 1. Mean ratio of change from baseline to Day 180 in Urinary albumin tocreatinine ratio (UACR) for the combination therapy group, to empagliflozin alone 2. Mean ratio of change from baseline to Day 180 in UACR for the combination therapy group, to finerenone alone.;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Up to 180 Days

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary end point(s): 1.Relative change in UACR between end of treatment visit and 30 days after end of treatment visit 2.Relative change in UACR between 30 days after end of treatment visit and baseline 3.Relative change in UACR category (>30%, >40%, >50%) at 180 days 4.Ratio of change from baseline in eGFR at 30 days 5.eGFR decline greater than 30% at 30 days from baseline 6.Ratio of change in eGFR at 180 days and 210 days from day 30 7.Number of participants with of AKI events 8.Total number of AKI events 9.Number of participants with hyperkalemia events (moderate hyperkalemia [5.5 6.0 mmol/L]) 10.Total number of hyperkalemia events (moderate hyperkalemia [5.5 6.0 mmol/L]) Please refer to the protocol for a full list of secondary end points;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: 1. Up to 210 days 2. Up to 210 days 3. Up to 180 days 4. Up t0 30 days 5. Up to 30 days 6. Up to 210 days 7. to 23. Up to 180 days
