Bayer AG is conducting a Phase 3 clinical study titled A Parallel-group, Randomized, Prospective, Interventional, Double-blind, Multicenter Global Phase 3 Study to Investigate the Efficacy and Safety of Finerenone Versus Placebo, in Addition to Standard of Care, in Participants With Chronic Kidney Disease and Type 1 Diabetes. The study aims to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of finerenone, a drug that blocks mineralocorticoid receptors, in treating chronic kidney disease (CKD) in patients with type 1 diabetes. This research is significant as CKD is a common complication of type 1 diabetes, and finerenone could potentially slow disease progression.
The intervention being tested is finerenone, a drug designed to reduce kidney and heart damage by blocking mineralocorticoid receptors. It is being compared to a placebo, alongside standard care treatments, to assess its efficacy in preventing the worsening of kidney disease.
The study employs a randomized, parallel-group design with quadruple masking, meaning that participants, care providers, investigators, and outcomes assessors are unaware of group assignments. The primary purpose is treatment, aiming to determine whether finerenone is more effective than a placebo.
The study began on February 26, 2024, with an estimated primary completion date yet to be announced. The last update was submitted on August 6, 2025. These dates are crucial for investors to track the study’s progress and anticipate potential market impacts.
The outcome of this study could significantly influence Bayer AG’s stock performance and investor sentiment, especially if finerenone proves effective in treating CKD in type 1 diabetes patients. This could enhance Bayer’s competitive position in the pharmaceutical industry, particularly in the CKD treatment market.
The study is ongoing, with further details available on the ClinicalTrials portal.
