Summary
Brief summary
Researchers are looking for a better way to treat people who have chronic kidney disease
(CKD), a long-term, progressive decrease in the kidneys' ability to work properly. When CKD
happens in people with type 2 diabetes mellitus, a condition characterized by high blood
sugar levels, CKD is also referred to as diabetic kidney disease (DKD).

FIGARO-BM is an add-on study in which blood draws that were collected in the FIGARO-DKD study
are further analyzed. No additional blood draws (also referred to as biological samples) or
data will be obtained from the participants, nor will any additional or new study
intervention be introduced. No visit or patient contact other than for obtaining the
agreement by the patients (also called informed consent) will be required.

Inflammation and scarring are both seen as responsible for worsening of chronic kidney
disease. There is much information from animal studies that the study treatment finerenone
(BAY94-8862) works against inflammation and against scarring (also called fibrosis) in organs
such as the kidney.

In this exploratory study researchers want to learn more about the study treatment finerenone
(BAY94-8862). To find this out, this study will examine substances called biomarkers in blood
draws from participants in the FIGARO-DKD study. Biomarkers are used as indicators of
biological processes, disease processes or responses to medication. The biomarkers that will
be examined stand for inflammation, organ scarring (also called fibrosis), blood vessel
function and congestion.

The main question of this study is whether there are differences between these biomarkers in
the group of participants who received finerenone and the group of participants who received
a placebo in the FIGARO-DKD study. A placebo looks like a treatment but does not have any
medicine in it. To answer this question, the researchers will compare the levels of these
biomarkers between the two groups at different time points after starting the study
treatment. Blood samples for this study will be obtained from FIGARO-DKD study sites with a
high number of participants who had been treated with finerenone or placebo for at least 24
months. This information will be combined with other information from biomarker examinations
already available in the FIGARO-DKD study.
