Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures
  1. Clinical benefit
    Hierarchical composite of the following: * Time to all-cause mortality * Number of total HF events * Time to first HF event * Difference of 5 points or greater on the Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire - Total Symptom Score (KCCQ-TSS) assessed by the win-ratio method
  2. Number of serious adverse events (AEs).
    \- Serious AEs (excluding efficacy endpoints).
  3. Number of adverse events leading to discontinuation of study drug.
    \- AEs leading to discontinuation of finerenone or empagliflozin.
Secondary Outcome Measures
  1. Time to first death from any cause or HF event.
    Time to first occurrence of all-cause mortality or HF event (hospitalization for HF or urgent visit due to HF)
  2. Mean change from baseline to 6 months in the Total Symptom Score of the Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire (KCCQ-TSS).
  3. Number of HF events from baseline to Day 90.
    \- Total (first and recurrent) HF events.
