E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
Demonstrate the superiority of finerenone to eplerenone in delaying timeto first occurrence of the composite endpoint, defined as cardiovascular (CV) death or hospitalization for heart failure (HF), in patients with chronic heart failure (CHF) (NYHA class II¿IV) and reduced ejection fraction after recent heart failure decompensation who have additional risk factors, i.e. type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and/or or chronic kidney disease (CKD). |
¿ Dimostrare la superiorit¿ di finerenone rispetto all¿eplerenone nel ritardare il tempo alla prima comparsa dell¿endpoint composito, definito come morte cardiovascolare (CV) od ospedalizzazione per scompenso cardiaco (HF), in pazienti affetti da insufficienza cardiaca cronica (CHF) (classe II-IV secondo la New York Heart Association [NYHA]) e ridotta frazione di eiezione dopo un recente episodio acuto di scompenso che presentino altri fattori di rischio, quali diabete mellito di tipo 2 (T2DM) e/o nefropatia cronica (CKD). |
|
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
The secondary objectives of this study are to determine the superiority of finerenone to eplerenone with regard to the following:¿ Total number of hospitalizations (or equivalent) for HF¿ Time to first hospitalization (or equivalent) for HF ¿ All-cause mortality¿ Time to first occurrence of composite renal endpoint: onset of kidney failure, or sustained decrease in estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) =40% relative to baseline over at least 4 weeks, or renal death. |
Gli obiettivi secondari di questo studio sono quelli di dimostrare la superiorit¿ di finerenone rispetto ad eplerenone in relazione a ciascuno dei seguenti fattori: ¿ Numero totale di ricoveri in ospedale (od equivalenti) per scompenso cardiaco ¿ Tempo al primo ricovero in ospedale (o equivalente) per scompenso cardiaco ¿ Tempo alla mortalit¿ per tutte le cause ¿ Tempo alla prima comparsa dell¿endpoint renale composito: esordio di insufficienza renale o cospicua diminuzione della velocit¿ di filtrazione glomerulare stimata (eGFR) =40% rispetto al basale per almeno 4 settimane, o morte renale.

• Women of childbearing potential can only be included in the study if a pregnancy test is negative at Screening and if they agree to use adequate contraception. Adequate contraception is defined as any combination of at least 2 effective methods of birth control, of which at least one is a physical barrier (e.g. condoms with hormonal contraception or implants or combined oral contraceptives, certain intrauterine devices). Women are considered post-menopausal and not of childbearing potential if they have had 12 months of natural (spontaneous) amenorrhea with an appropriate clinical profile (e.g. age appropriate, history of vasomotor symptoms) or 6 months of spontaneous amenorrhea with serum follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) levels >40 mIU/mL [for US only: and estradiol <20 pg/mL] or have had surgical treatment such as bilateral tubal ligation, bilateral ovariectomy, or hysterectomy.• Diagnosis of CHF, NYHA class II-IV, and documented ejection fraction of =40%• Unscheduled emergency presentation to emergency services (outpatient or hospital, including the emergency department ) due to signs and/or symptoms of HF decompensation in the 2 weeks preceding randomization (considered as index event)• Administration of intravenous (IV) decongestive therapy at any time during presentation and/or admission to emergency services for the treatment of the index event• BNP >400 pg/mL or NT-proBNP >1200 pg/mL in sinus rhythm, and BNP >600 pg/mL or NT-proBNP >1800 pg/mL in atrial fibrillation, at anytime starting with the index event, at the latest at screening; ; BNP values are not applicable for subjects taking angiotensin receptor-neprilysin inhibitors (ARNIs) • Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) in their medical history or at screening and/orChronic kidney disease (CKD) with moderately reduced kidney function, defined as an estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) between 30 and 60 mL/min/1.73 m² at screening (calculated using the locally approved and validated equation); one reassessment allowed |
