Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if the drug finerenone (Karendia) can improve heart function in participants who are at risk for heart and kidney disease.

The main question it aims to answer is whether adding finerenone to standard-of-care heart failure medical therapies will beneficially alter the heart structure and function of people who have risk factors for heart and kidney complications and whose left side of the heart is enlarged.

The researchers will compare finerenone to a placebo (a look-alike substance that contains no drug) to see if finerenone improves heart structure and function.

Participants will:

* take a finerenone or a placebo tablet once a day for 12 months
* have a cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (cMRI; a safe, non-invasive scan to measure heart mass, stiffness and function) test at the beginning of the study and 12 months later
* visit the clinic after one, three, six and twelve months to assess overall health and/or perform blood or urine tests

Conditions

Interventions

DRUG

Finerenone

Participants will be allocated a starting dose of 10 or 20 mg of finerenone (dependent on kidney function) once daily, in addition to standard-of-care. Participants may be up-titrated or down-titrated based on potassium levels or estimated glomerular filtration rate with a minimum dose of 10 mg and maximum dose of 40 mg finerenone

DRUG

Placebo

Participants will be allocated a starting dose of 10 or 20 mg of placebo (dependent on kidney function) once daily, in addition to standard-of-care. Participants may be up-titrated or down-titrated based on potassium levels or estimated glomerular filtration rate with a minimum dose of 10 mg and maximum dose of 40 mg placebo
