In a recent update from Bayer AG, the company has completed a clinical study titled A Prospective, Interventional, Multicenter, Phase IV, Open-label, Single Arm Study to Assess the Safety and Effectiveness of Finerenone in Participants From India With Chronic Kidney Disease Associated With Type 2 Diabetes. The study aimed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the drug Finerenone in Indian patients suffering from chronic kidney disease (CKD) alongside type 2 diabetes (T2D). This research is significant as it seeks to provide insights into the treatment of CKD, a common complication of T2D, in a real-world setting.
The intervention being tested is Finerenone, a drug that blocks mineralocorticoid receptors, which are known to contribute to kidney injury and inflammation. The drug is administered orally in tablet form once daily, with dosage adjusted based on kidney function and potassium levels.
The study was designed as an interventional, single-group assignment with no masking, focusing on treatment as its primary purpose. Participants were monitored over approximately 20 months, with the drug administered for 18 months.
Key dates for the study include its actual start date on February 8, 2023, and the last update submitted on July 8, 2025. The study’s completion marks a significant milestone in understanding Finerenone’s impact on CKD and T2D in the Indian population.
The completion of this study could influence Bayer’s stock performance positively by reinforcing investor confidence in the company’s commitment to expanding its market reach and addressing unmet medical needs. As the pharmaceutical industry remains competitive, Bayer’s continued research and development efforts could position it favorably against competitors.
The study is now completed, and further details can be accessed on the ClinicalTrials portal.
