Chronic Kidney Disease
Indicated to reduce risk of sustained estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) decline, end-stage kidney disease, cardiovascular death, nonfatal myocardial infarction, and hospitalization for heart failure in adults with chronic kidney disease (CKD) associated with type 2 diabetes
Starting dose
- Determine starting dose by eGFR (mL/min/1.73m2)
- eGFR ≥60: 20 mg PO qDay
- eGFR 25-60: 10 mg PO qDay
- eGFR <25: Not recommended
- Increase dosage after 4 weeks to the target dose of 20 mg qDay based on eGFR and serum potassium thresholds
Dosage Modifications
Dose adjustment
Dose adjustment based on current serum potassium concentration (mEq/L) and current dose
-
Currently taking 10 mg qDay
- ≤4.8 mEq/L: Increase dose to 20 mg qDay; if eGFR has decreased by more than 30% compared to previous measurement, maintain 10 mg dose
- >4.8-5.5 mEq/L: Maintain 10 mg/day
- >5.5 mEq/L: Withhold dose; consider restarting at 10 mg qDay when potassium ≤5 mEq/L
-
Currently taking 20 mg qDay
- ≤4.8 mEq/L: Maintain 20 mg qDay
- >4.8-5.5 mEq/L: Maintain 20 mg/day
- >5.5 mEq/L: Withhold dose; restart at 10 mg qDay when potassium ≤5 mEq/L
Renal impairment
- eGFR 15 to <90 mL/min/1.73 m2: No clinically relevant differences in AUC or peak plasma concentration
- Initial dose and adjustments are based on eGFR and serum potassium levels
Hepatic impairment
- Mild or moderate (Child-Pugh A or B): No dosage adjustment recommended
- Severe (Child-Pugh C): Avoid
Dosing Considerations
Monitoring
- Determine initial dose by measuring serum potassium levels and eGFR
- Do not initiate if serum potassium is >5 mEq/L
- If serum potassium is 4.8-5 mEq/L, may initiate with additional serum potassium monitoring within the first 4 weeks
- Measure serum potassium 4 weeks after initiating treatment, after dosage adjustments, and throughout treatment; adjust dose if needed

Adverse Effects
>10%
Hyperkalemia (18.3%)
1-10%
Hypotension (4.8%)
Hyponatremia (1.4%)
Warnings
Contraindications
Concomitant treatment with strong CYP3A4 inhibitors
Adrenal insufficiency
Cautions
Hyperkalemia
- Can cause hyperkalemia
- Risk increases with decreasing kidney function and is greater with higher baseline potassium levels or other risk factors for hyperkalemia
- Measure serum potassium and eGFR before initiating; adjust dose accordingly
- Do not initiate if serum potassium 5 mEq/L
- Periodically measure serum potassium during treatment and adjust dose as necessary; more frequent monitoring needed for patients at risk for hyperkalemia, including those on concomitant medications that impair potassium excretion or increase serum potassium
Drug interaction overview
- Finerenone is a CYP3A4 substrate
-
Strong CYP3A4 inhibitors
- Contraindicated
- Avoid concomitant intake of grapefruit or grapefruit juice
- Strong CYP3A4 inhibitors may increase risk for finerenone adverse effects
-
Moderate and weak CYP3A4 inhibitors
- Monitor serum potassium during drug initiation or dosage adjustment of either finerenone or moderate/weak CYP3A4 inhibitor; adjust finerenone dose as appropriate
-
Strong and moderate CYP3A4 inducers
- Avoid coadministration
- Strong and moderate CYP3A4 inducers decrease finerenone systemic exposure and may reduce efficacy
-
Drugs that affect serum potassium
- More frequent serum potassium monitoring is warranted if coadministered with drugs or supplements that increase serum potassium or impair potassium excretion
Pregnancy & Lactation
Pregnancy
Data are not available on use in pregnancy to evaluate for a drug-associated risk of major birth defects, miscarriage, or adverse maternal or fetal outcomes
Animal studies have shown developmental toxicity at exposures ~4 times those expected in humans; clinical significance of these findings is unclear
Lactation
Data are unavailable on presence in human milk, effects on breastfed infants, or effects on milk production
Based on animal studies and potential risk to breastfed infants from exposure, avoid breastfeeding during treatment and for 1 day after last dose
Animal studies
- In a prenatal and postnatal developmental toxicity study in rats, increased pup mortality and lower pup weight were observed at ~4 times the AUC unbound expected in humans
- These findings suggest that finerenone is present in rat milk
- When a drug is present in animal milk, it is likely that the drug will be present in human milk
Pregnancy Categories
A: Generally acceptable. Controlled studies in pregnant women show no evidence of fetal risk.
B: May be acceptable. Either animal studies show no risk but human studies not available or animal studies showed minor risks and human studies done and showed no risk. C: Use with caution if benefits outweigh risks. Animal studies show risk and human studies not available or neither animal nor human studies done. D: Use in LIFE-THREATENING emergencies when no safer drug available. Positive evidence of human fetal risk. X: Do not use in pregnancy. Risks involved outweigh potential benefits. Safer alternatives exist. NA: Information not available.Pharmacology
Mechanism of Action
Nonsteroidal, selective mineralocorticoid receptor (MR) antagonist, which is activated by aldosterone and cortisol and regulates gene transcription
Finerenone blocks MR-mediated sodium reabsorption and MR overactivation in both epithelial (eg, kidney) and nonepithelial (eg, heart, blood vessels) tissues
MR overactivation is thought to contribute to fibrosis and inflammation
Finerenone has a high potency and selectivity for the MR and has no relevant affinity for androgen, progesterone, estrogen, and glucocorticoid receptors
Absorption
Bioavailability: 44%
Peak plasma time: 0.5-1.25 hr
Peak plasma concentration: 160 mcg/L
AUC: 686 mcgh/L
Steady-state reached: 2 days
Distribution
Protein bound: 92% (primarily to albumin)
Vd: 52.6 L
Metabolism
Primarily metabolized by CYP3A4 (90%) and to a lesser extent by CYP2C8 (10%) to inactive metabolites
Elimination
Half-life: 2-3 hr
Excretion: 80% urine (<1% unchanged); ~20% feces (<0.2% unchanged)
Administration
Oral Administration
May take with or without food
Unable to swallow whole tablets: May crush and mix with water or soft foods (eg, applesauce) immediately before oral administration
Missed dose
- Take as soon as possible after noticed, but only on the same day
- If this is not possible, skip dose and continue with the next scheduled dose
Storage
Store at 20-25ºC (68-77ºF); excursions permitted to 15-30ºC (59-86ºF)
