NCT ID NCT07356388
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This phase 3 trial tests whether finerenone can reduce protein in the urine (proteinuria) of people who have had a kidney transplant. Proteinuria is a sign of kidney damage. The study compares finerenone plus standard care to dapagliflozin plus standard care in 54 adult patients. The main goal is to see if finerenone lowers urine protein levels and is safe.

Finerenone
What this could lead to
If it works, finerenone could offer a new way to reduce proteinuria and protect kidney function in transplant recipients, potentially delaying further kidney damage.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-phase trial with only 54 participants. The drug may not outperform the standard treatment, and side effects like high potassium or kidney issues are possible.
