What This Trial Is Studying

Researchers are looking for a better way to treat children who have heart failure with left ventricular systolic dysfunction (LVSD). Heart failure is a serious condition where the heart is unable to pump enough blood to meet the body's needs. This can lead to symptoms like shortness of breath, fatigue, and poor growth in children. The study treatment, finerenone (also called BAY94-8862), works by blocking a protein involved in inflammation, scarring, and thickening of the heart and blood vessels. This may help the heart to pump blood more effectively. This…

Eligibility Snapshot
  • : * Participants must be 6 months to 500 ng/l for children ≥ 6 months to < 2 years of age * >300 ng/l, for children ≥ 2 years to 5.0 mmol/L for children ≥ 2 years of age at either screening or randomization visit * > 5.3 mmol/L for children ≥ 6 months to < 2 years of age at either screening or randomization visit (if estimated glomerular filtration rate [eGFR] < 60 mL/min/1.73m², threshold of > 5.0 mmol/L will be used) * Severe renal dysfunction with eGFR < 30 ml/min/1.73m² at screening or randomization visit. * Systolic blood pressure (SBP) < 5th percentile for age, sex and height at screening or randomization. * Sustained or symptomatic arrhythmias not controlled by drug or device therapy within 30 days prior to randomization. * Treatment with a mineralocorticoid receptor antagonist (e.g., spironolactone, eplerenone) within 30 days of randomization. * Requirement of any intravenous (IV) vasoactive agents, mechanical ventilation, mechanical circulatory support within 30 days prior to randomization. * Recent surgical procedure or other intervention to correct or palliate CHD within 3 months prior to randomization or anticipated to undergo cardiac surgery during the 3 months after randomization.
