Background: Finerenone, a nonsteroidal mineralocorticoid receptor antagonist, was evaluated in Japanese patients with heart failure (HF) with reduced ejection fraction and chronic kidney disease and/or diabetes mellitus. Methods and Results: ARTS-HF Japan was a randomized, double-blind, phase 2b study. Patients (n=72) received oral, once-daily (o.d.) finerenone (2.5, 5, 7.5, 10 or 15 mg, up-titrated to 5, 10, 15, 20, or 20 mg, respectively, on day 30) or eplerenone (25 mg every other day, increased to 25 mg o.d. on day 30, and 50 mg on day 60) for 90 days. The primary endpoint was the proportion of individuals with a decrease of >30% in plasma NT-proBNP at day 90. Safety endpoints included the incidence of hyperkalemia. Decreases in NT-proBNP occurred in 23.1% of patients in the eplerenone group and 15.4%, 23.1%, 45.5%, 27.3% and 45.5% in the 2.5 -> 5 mg, 5 -> 10 mg, 7.5 -> 15 mg, 10 -> 20 mg and 15 -> 20 mg finerenone groups, respectively (all P=NS). Mean changes in serum potassium levels were similar between groups. Conclusions: Because of the small sample size, limited conclusions can be drawn. Considering the results of ARTS-HF and that finerenone was well tolerated in Japanese patients in ARTS-HF Japan, the safety and efficacy of finerenone should be further explored in a large outcomes trial including Japanese patients.
