A Study to Determine the Efficacy and Safety of Finerenone and SGLT2i in Combination in Hospitalized Patients with Heart Failure (CONFIRMATION-HF)
1500 patients around the world
Available in Brazil, United States
This is an international, randomized, controlled, open-label, trial of an early,
intensive management strategy using the combination of finerenone plus sodium-glucose
co-transporter 2 inhibitor (SGLT2i) compared with usual care in patients hospitalized
with heart failure (HF).

Prior or planned heart transplant.
Hemodynamically significant uncorrected primary cardiac valvular disease as primary cause of heart failure.
Cardiomyopathy due to acute inflammatory heart disease, infiltrative diseases, accumulation diseases, muscular dystrophies, cardiomyopathy with reversible causes, known hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy, complex congenital heart disease, or pericardial constriction.
Probable alternative cause of participant's heart failure symptoms.
Concomitant systemic therapy with potent cytochrome P450 isoenzyme 3A4 (CYP3A4) inhibitors or moderate CYP3A4 inducers, or potent CYP3A4 inducers.
Known hypersensitivity to the IP active substance or excipients.
Any other condition or therapy which would make the patient unsuitable for this study.
