Impact of Baseline GLP-1 Receptor Agonist Use on Albuminuria Reduction and Safety With Simultaneous Initiation of Finerenone and Empagliflozin in Type 2 Diabetes and Chronic Kidney Disease (CONFIDENCE Trial)

Among 800 participants, 182 (23%) used a GLP-1 RA at baseline. At day 180, UACR change from baseline in participants using a GLP-1 RA was -51% (95% CI -59 to -40%) with combination therapy, -34% (-48 to -18%) with finerenone, and -36% (-48 to -21%) with empagliflozin. In CONFIDENCE, simultaneous initiation with finerenone and an SGLT2 inhibitor was effective and well tolerated compared with monotherapy, irrespective of background use of a GLP-1 RA.
