Summary

FINE-FOCUS study is a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group trial to evaluate the effect of Finerenone versus placebo on myocardial fibrosis and cardiac structure/function as assessed by cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) in symptomatic heart failure patients with a left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) ≥40%. A sub-study will include 18F-FAPI-PET/CT imaging to evaluate the effect of finerenone on myocardial fibrosis.

Conditions

Interventions

DRUG

Oral finerenone

Standard heart failure therapy plus oral finerenone eGFR ≤60 mL/min/1.73 m²: Start 10 mg once daily, target 20 mg once daily. eGFR \>60 mL/min/1.73 m²: Start 20 mg once daily, target 40 mg once daily. Dose adjustments are mandated based on serum potassium levels and eGFR changes.

DRUG

Placebo

Standard heart failure therapy plus matching placebo
