Bayer's Kerendia first new CKD treatment approved in 30 years for adults with T1D
Germany's Bayer (BAYN: DE) has won US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval for Kerendia (finerenone) to reduce urinary albumin-to-creatinine ratio (UACR) in adults with chronic kidney disease (CKD) associated with type 1 diabetes (T1D), a reduction the agency expects to lower the risk of sustained decline in estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) and end-stage kidney disease.
This approval, granted under Priority Review, marks the first new treatment advance in this population in more than 30 years. Around 20-30% of people in the USA with T1D also have CKD, putting them at risk of disease progression and kidney failure.
