Understanding the Role of MR Antagonists and the Impact on Patient Care in CKD in T2D

Join us for an interactive live symposium discussing the use of finerenone in patients with type 2 diabetes and chronic kidney disease.  Diana Isaacs, PharmD, BCPS, BCACP, CDCES, BC-ADM, FADCES, FCCP and Joshua J. Neumiller, PharmD, CDCES, FADCES, FASCP will provide expert insights on the evidence behind the use of finerenone in diabetic kidney disease, selecting appropriate patients for finerenone therapy, and strategies for overcoming clinical inertia.

ProCE is committed to providing a safe and healthy environment for all our learners. Our decisions and preventive measures are guided by the requirements and recommendations of the CDC alongside federal, state, and local health authorities. We work with each program venue to implement preventive measures to reduce the potential spread of COVID-19. Additionally, in accordance with APhA’s COVID-19 protocols, all in-person learners will be asked to wear a mask and present their APhA conference badge -OR- proof of vaccination AND Government issued ID to gain admittance to Understanding the Role of Mineralocorticoid Receptor Antagonists and the Impact on Patient Care in Chronic Kidney Disease in Type 2 Diabetes and/or Digital Technologies in Diabetes Management: Considerations for Delivering State-of-the-Art Care.

Program Overview
The program will provide an overview of CKD in type 2 diabetes, and expert insights on the evidence behind the use of finerenone in diabetic kidney disease, selecting appropriate patients for finerenone therapy, and strategies for overcoming clinical inertia.

Goal Statement
The goal of this activity is to improve the knowledge and competence of pharmacists about pathophysiology of mineralocorticoid receptor activation in CKD in patients with T2D and the impact of the selective nonsteroidal mineralocorticoid receptor antagonist finerenone on patient care.

Target Audience
The target audience for this activity is pharmacists, including community, ambulatory care, primary care, and clinical pharmacists, who care for patients with CKD and T2D as well as pharmacy directors, chief pharmacy officers, and other stakeholders in pharmacy practice.

Learning Objectives
Upon completion of this activity, participants should be able to:

  • Describe the pathophysiology and renal and cardiovascular outcomes of mineralocorticoid receptor activation in chronic kidney disease in patients with type 2 diabetes
  • Evaluate the safety and efficacy evidence of the selective nonsteroidal mineralocorticoid receptor antagonist finerenone
  • Compare the clinical differences between steroidal and selective nonsteroidal mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists
  • Identify appropriate candidates for finerenone and strategies to implement use, including multidisciplinary care and overcoming clinical inertia
