Researchers are looking for a better way to treat people who have non-diabetic chronic kidney disease (non-diabetic CKD). The trial treatment, finerenone, is being developed to help people who have long lasting kidney disease, also known as chronic kidney disease (CKD). It works by blocking a certain hormone called aldosterone that causes injury and inflammation in the heart and kidney which is known to play a role in CKD. In this trial, the researchers want to learn if finerenone helps to slow down the worsening of the participants' non-diabetic CKD compared to a placebo. A placebo looks like a trial treatment but does not have any medicine in it. The trial will include about 1,580 men and women who are at least 18 years old.

We still have a lot to learn about why people develop glomerular disease and what the best medicines are to treat these diseases. Diabetes is a common, chronic illness and many people with glomerular disease also have diabetes. Currently, there is no information telling us the best ways to treat patients with both diabetes and glomerular disease, or how to counsel them about prognosis and risks for complications. This substudy of the Cure Glomerulopathy Network brings together information and laboratory specimens from patients with diabetes and glomerular disease to speed up and improve health research for their care.

The study tests the safety and efficacy of a new type of drug, administered by intravenous infusion, for the treatment of lupus nephritis or IgA Nephropathy. You might be on the drug or on the placebo (no active drug ) and will help to figure out if this new drug is a good alternative or complement to existing drugs.
