• Aim To assess the effect of finerenone on the risk of cardiovascular and kidney outcomes in patients with chronic kidney disease and type 2 diabetes, with and without obesity. Materials and methods A post hoc analysis of the prespecified pooled FIDELITY dataset assessed the association between waist circumference (WC), composite cardiovascular and kidney outcomes, and the effects of finerenone. Participants were stratified by WC risk groups (representing visceral obesity) as low‐risk or high–very high‐risk (H‐/VH‐risk). Results Of 12 986 patients analysed, 90.8% occupied the H‐/VH‐risk WC group. Incidence of the composite cardiovascular outcome was similar between finerenone and placebo in the low‐risk WC group (hazard ratio [HR] 1.03; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.72‐1.47); finerenone reduced the risk in the H‐/VH‐risk WC group (HR 0.85; 95% CI, 0.77‐0.93). For the kidney outcome, the risk was similar in the low‐risk WC group (HR 0.98; 95% CI, 0.66‐1.46) and reduced within the H‐/VH‐risk WC group (HR 0.75; 95% CI, 0.65‐0.87) with finerenone versus placebo. There was no significant heterogeneity between the low‐risk and H‐/VH‐risk WC groups for cardiovascular and kidney composite outcomes (P interaction = .26 and .34, respectively). The apparent greater benefit of finerenone on cardiorenal outcomes but lack of significant heterogeneity observed in H‐/VH‐risk WC patients may be because of the small size of the low‐risk group. Adverse events were consistent across WC groups. Conclusion In FIDELITY, benefits of finerenone in lowering the risk of cardiovascular and kidney outcomes were not significantly modified by patient obesity.
