Kerendia™ (finerenone) granted expanded indication in the EU for broad range of patients with chronic kidney disease and type 2 diabetes

Berlin, February 10, 2023 – The European Commission granted approval for a label extension for Kerendia™ (finerenone) in the European Union (EU) to include results on cardiovascular (CV) outcomes from the Phase III FIGARO-DKD study. The study demonstrated that Kerendia reduced the risk of CV events in a broad population of patients with stages 1-4 CKD and T2D. The indication of Kerendia (10 mg or 20 mg), a non-steroidal, selective mineralocorticoid receptor antagonist, has been extended to include early stages* of CKD associated with T2D. Kerendia is now indicated for the treatment of chronic kidney disease (with albuminuria) associated with type 2 diabetes in adults.

Results from the pivotal Phase III FIGARO-DKD study were presented at the European Society of Cardiology (ESC) Congress 2021 and simultaneously published in the New England Journal of Medicine. FIGARO-DKD investigated the efficacy and safety of finerenone versus placebo in addition to standard of care on the reduction of CV morbidity and mortality in approximately 7,400 patients with CKD and T2D. The positive data from FIGARO-DKD demonstrated that finerenone significantly reduced the risk of cardiovascular events in adult patients with CKD and T2D versus placebo.

“Patients with chronic kidney disease are faced with an increased risk of cardiovascular events,” said Professor Peter Rossing, Head of Complications Research at the Steno Diabetes Center Copenhagen. “As chronic kidney disease progresses silently, with oftentimes no symptoms in the early stages, patients with type 2 diabetes should be regularly monitored by their doctor for the earliest signs of kidney disease, and once diagnosed should be treated comprehensively to reduce the risk of cardiovascular complications and death.”

Mineralocorticoid receptor (MR) overactivation contributes to CKD progression and CV damage which can be driven by metabolic, hemodynamic, or inflammatory and fibrotic factors. Addressing an alternative pathway, Kerendia offers protection as it selectively binds to the MR receptor, blocking harmful effects of MR overactivation.

“Even when blood glucose levels and blood pressure are well-controlled, the risk of kidney disease progression and cardiovascular events remains high in patients with chronic kidney disease and type 2 diabetes,” said Dr. Michael Devoy, Chief Medical Officer of Bayer’s Pharmaceuticals Division. “Kerendia addresses a key cause of disease progression that is not addressed by other therapies, and offers physicians a distinct path to protect patients from further kidney damage and cardiovascular events. With Kerendia having demonstrated kidney and cardiovascular benefits across a broad spectrum of disease severity in the pivotal Phase III studies, today’s approval of the label extension supports the use of this drug also in patients with earlier stages* of chronic kidney disease associated with type II diabetes.”

Based on the positive results of the FIDELIO-DKD Phase III study, Kerendia was granted initial marketing authorization by the European Commission in February 2022 for the treatment of CKD (stage 3 and 4 with albuminuria) associated with T2D in adults. Following this approval by the European Commission, the extended EU label for Kerendia now reflects data from more than 13,000 patients with CKD and T2D, based on both the Phase III FIDELIO-DKD and FIGARO-DKD studies.

About Kerendia™ (finerenone)
Kerendia is a non-steroidal, selective mineralocorticoid receptor (MR) antagonist that has been shown to block harmful effects of MR overactivation. MR overactivation contributes to CKD progression and cardiovascular damage which can be driven by metabolic, hemodynamic, or inflammatory and fibrotic factors.

Based on the positive results of the FIDELIO-DKD Phase III study, Kerendia™ was granted marketing authorization by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in July 2021, the European Commission in February 2022, and the Chinese National Medical Products Administration (NMPA) in June 2022. In September 2022, Bayer announced that it received approval from the U.S. FDA for a label update for Kerendia™ to include findings from the Phase III FIGARO-DKD CV outcomes study. In February 2023, based on the Phase III FIGARO-DKD findings, Kerendia™ received approval from the European Commission for a label extension, to include early stages of CKD associated with T2D. Based on the positive results of both pivotal Phase III studies, FIDELIO-DKD and FIGARO-DKD, Kerendia™ was approved in March 2022 by the Japanese Ministry of Health, Labour, and Welfare (MHLW). Further regulatory approvals by other health authorities in multiple other countries have been granted or are currently pending following submissions for marketing authorization.

The Phase III study program with finerenone, FINEOVATE, currently comprises five Phase III studies, FIDELIO-DKD, FIGARO-DKD, FINEARTS-HF, FIND-CKD, and FIONA, as well as the Phase II study CONFIDENCE.

Having randomized more than 13,000 patients with CKD and T2D around the world, the Phase III program with finerenone in CKD and T2D comprises two completed and published studies, FIDELIO-DKD and FIGARO-DKD, evaluating the effect of finerenone versus placebo on top of standard of care on both renal and cardiovascular outcomes.

The prespecified FIDELITY pooled analysis, including the FIDELIO-DKD and FIGARO-DKD studies, investigated the efficacy and safety of finerenone across the spectrum of patients with CKD in T2D in reducing the risk of chronic kidney disease progression as well as fatal and nonfatal CV events and provided insights into the relationship between CKD stage (based on baseline Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes – KDIGO – risk categories) and the effects of finerenone on composite cardiovascular and kidney-specific endpoints.

About Chronic Kidney Disease in Type 2 Diabetes
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a common and potentially deadly condition that is widely underrecognized. CKD progresses silently and unpredictably, with many symptoms not appearing until the disease is well-advanced. CKD is one of the most frequent complications arising from diabetes and is also an independent risk factor of cardiovascular disease. Up to 40% of all patients with type 2 diabetes develop chronic kidney disease. Despite guideline-directed therapies, patients with CKD and T2D remain at high risk of CKD progression and cardiovascular events. It is estimated that CKD affects more than 190 million people with T2D worldwide. Chronic kidney disease in type 2 diabetes is the main cause of end stage kidney disease, which requires dialysis or a kidney transplant to stay alive. Patients with chronic kidney disease and type 2 diabetes are three times more likely to die from a cardiovascular-related cause than those with type 2 diabetes alone.
