Finerenone Outperforms Spironolactone for Heart Failure Exacerbation in HFpEF, With Nihar Desai, MD, MPH

Finerenone use was associated with lower risks of heart failure exacerbation and all-cause mortality compared to spironolactone in patients with 

heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF)

, based on a recent retrospective cohort study.

Phase II studies have associated finerenone with reduced risks of hyperkalemia and deterioration in kidney function when compared with spironolactone and eplerenone in patients with 

. The recent FINEARTS-HF trial has also highlighted finerenone, investigating its efficacy in reducing heart failure hospitalization in patients with HFpEF. However, despite these trials, finerenone does not yet have an approved indication for HFpEF.

“Spironolactone is a very important and highly effective therapy. The evidence to support its use in patients with reduced ejection fraction heart failure are unequivocal,” Nihar Desai, MD, MPH, associate professor of medicine at Yale School of Medicine and a contributing author in this study, told 

 in an exclusive interview. “However, the question arises regarding mid-range and preserved ejection fraction patients; spironolactone actually doesn’t have that as part of its indications. In contrast, using finerenone in those patients with an EF of ≥40% saw substantial clinical benefits.”

Desai and colleagues performed a retrospective observational cohort study via the TriNetX database, identifying all patients with a diagnosis of HFpEF. The team notes the potential limitations of TriNetX’s lack of additional datapoints, such as echocardiographic parameters and NYHA functional class, and the possible misclassification of patients within the HFpEF category.

Patients were then further stratified based on finerenone or spironolactone use within 1 year of diagnosis. Concomitant spironolactone and/or finerenone use was excluded in both cohorts. The primary outcomes of the analysis were first or subsequent heart failure exacerbations, acute myocardial infarction, hypokalemia, ischemic stroke, all-cause mortality, sudden cardiac death, and hyperkalemia within a 1-year follow-up period. Acute myocardial infarction and ischemic stroke were included as secondary endpoints.

Ultimately, the study included 254,417 patients with HFpEF; after propensity score matching, 491 patients were enrolled in each cohort, yielding a total of 982 participants. During the follow-up, the finerenone arm saw substantially lower statistically significant risk of heart failure exacerbation (55.2% vs 72.9%; HR, 0.63; 95% CI, 0.54-0.74; 

 <.001). Additionally, finerenone was associated with lower risks of all-cause mortality compared to spironolactone (4.1% vs 11.8%; HR, 0.38; 95% CI, 0.23-0.64; 

Investigators also recorded a lower risk of hypokalemia in the finerenone cohort versus spironolactone (8.4% vs 15.1%; HR, 0.58; 95% CI, 0.4-0.85; 

 <.001). Despite not being statistically significant, similar trends were noted for hyperkalemia (13.8% vs 16.1%; HR, 0.96; 95% CI, 0.69-1.33). Sudden cardiac death was rare across both cohorts, affecting only 1 patient in the spironolactone arm and 10 in the finerenone arm.

Desai and colleagues also performed subgroup analyses for patients with CKD and 

. Those with CKD saw substantially lower risk of heart failure exacerbation with finerenone versus spironolactone (59.4% vs 74.1%; HR, 0.63; 95% CI, 0.53-0.74; 

 <.001). The diabetes mellitus subgroup also saw lower heart failure exacerbation risk with finerenone (56.6% vs 74%; HR, 0.59; 95% CI, 0.5-0.69; 

Despite the strength of these data, this study is solely hypothesis-generating. Desai and colleagues encourage further research, including head-to-head randomized controlled trials of finerenone versus spironolactone in HFpEF, to inform the debate over its safe and efficacious use in real-world settings.

“If we’re going to follow the evidence and what the literature would tell us, finerenone would be a primary strategy in those patients with an EF ≥40% if finerenone is not available, or if there are other barriers that might restrict the use of finerenone,” Desai said. “Spironolactone is maybe an option B for a patient on the edges, but for most of our patients, we believe the data – finerenone seems to be the most effective MRA for those patients.”

are 8 clinical recommendations and 1 research-only recommendations to guide management of relapsed or refractory 

 in adolescents and young adults (AYAs), emphasizing immunotherapy approaches.

, the 2026 Guidelines for Management of Relapsed/efractory ALL in AYAs underscore a paradigm shift toward immunotherapies, including blinatumomab and inotuzumab, over chemotherapy while reinforcing the importance of patient-informed, individualized clinical decision-making.

AYAs sit in a unique pocket of clinical care management, especially in ALL, and are considered a high-risk population. This distinction stems from their distinct disease biology, including increased rates of T-ALL and Philadelphia-like (Ph-like) ALL compared with pediatric patients. Historically, AYAs have experienced inferior outcomes, driven in part by gaps between pediatric and adult treatment paradigms, challenges with treatment adherence, and higher rates of treatment-related toxicity.

Although adoption of pediatric-inspired regimens has been associated with improved survival among AYAs compared with traditional adult protocols, outcomes in the relapsed or refractory setting remain suboptimal, highlighting an ongoing treatment gap.

To address the gap in AYAs patients, a multidisciplinary panel of hematologists, AYA psychosocial care specialists, pharmacists, methodologists, and patient representatives created these guidelines. They used Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation (GRADE), including GRADE Evidence-to-Decision frameworks, for evidence assessment and recommendation formation.

The panel focused on immunotherapy, targeted therapies, allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT), and central nervous system (CNS)-directed therapy.

In refractory or relapsed ALL, the panel recommends the use of targeted agents, such as blinatumomab and/or inotuzumab, to induce remission due to their efficacy and potentially favorable toxicity profiles. Although the evidence for survival benefits, remission rates, and reduced toxicity is of low certainty, panelists consider it relevant in guiding treatment.

Specifically, the guidelines recommend blinatumomab over chemotherapy for patients with first relapse or refractory B-cell ALL, based on low-certainty evidence demonstrating increased remission rates, improved survival, and reduced toxicity. Inotuzumab is similarly recommended over chemotherapy in this setting. These agents are increasingly incorporated into contemporary treatment strategies and may serve as bridges to subsequent therapies, including allo-HSCT, depending on patient- and disease-specific factors.

In contrast, while emerging therapies such as daratumumab and CD7-directed CAR T-cell approaches have demonstrated promising activity, particularly in T-ALL, the panel concluded the current evidence is insufficient to support routine use outside of clinical trials. This limitation is especially relevant for AYAs with relapsed or refractory T-ALL, including both nelarabine-naïve and nelarabine-exposed patients.

Overall, the panel acknowledged meaningful progress in immunotherapy for relapsed or refractory T-ALL but emphasized that available data do not yet justify widespread adoption beyond the clinical trial setting. Key evidence gaps include the lack of head-to-head comparisons between immunotherapies and chemotherapy, as well as a shortage of prospective trials designed to define optimal sequencing, combinations, and treatment duration tailored specifically to AYAs.

Accordingly, the guidelines issue a research-only recommendation that, when feasible, individuals with relapsed or refractory T-ALL be offered enrollment in clinical trials evaluating novel agents such as daratumumab, CAR T-cell therapies, BCL-2 inhibitors, tyrosine kinase inhibitors, and other emerging approaches. Further research is encouraged to assess both short- and long-term outcomes, including toxicity, fertility, and health-related quality of life.

ASH 2026 guidance for adolescents and young adults with relapsed/refractory ALL prioritizes immunotherapy-based salvage over conventional chemotherapy, reflecting distinct AYA biology and historically inferior outcomes. A multidisciplinary panel used GRADE methods to craft eight clinical recommendations plus one research-only recommendation, spanning targeted agents, transplant integration, and CNS-directed therapy. For first relapse or refractory B-ALL, blinatumomab and inotuzumab are favored despite low-certainty evidence, citing improved remission, survival, and toxicity profiles. For T-ALL, routine use of emerging agents remains trial-limited pending stronger comparative and sequencing data.

Tips on Dermoscopy and Skin Cancer Detection, With Ashfaq Marghoob, MD

, highlighting dermoscopy of special sites and skin cancer detection, with its presenter emphasizing the unique microanatomy of palms, facial skin, soles, and nails.

This workshop was presented by Ashfaq Marghoob, MD, a dermatologist specializing in the diagnosis and treatment of skin cancer and the director of the Memorial Sloan-Kettering regional skin cancer clinic. Marghoob spoke with 

’s editorial team regarding the most important points highlighted in his dermoscopy workshop.

“The first and most important thing was to recognize that special sites in dermoscopy are defined by areas of the skin where the microanatomy differs from the rest of the non-glabrous skin on your body, except the face. So the non-glabrous skin, obviously, is everywhere other than palm soles, mucous membranes, and nails. But on the non-glabrous skin, the face is a special site, because the microanatomy on the face differs, and that is also true for the glabrous areas of the body.”

In his discussion of the dermoscopy workshop, Marghoob described the microanatomy of these areas as different than the rest of the body. The take-home point he highlighted for facial skin was the recognition of facial skin as having an attenuated and rich pattern.

“The next thing that we stressed was that melanoma on the face is derived from the stem cells that reside in the hair bulge, and therefore early melanoma is follicular centric,” Marghoob said. “So there are hyperpigmented follicular openings, irregularity around the follicle, and everything is around the follicle. The extension is from the follicle outward, as opposed to with benign lesions, which will be interfollicular and will be where the changes are, not in the follicle.”

Later in his discussion, Marghoob highlighted palms and soles exhibition of dermatoglyphics, with melanoma pigmentation on ridges and benign lesions in furrows. He further described nail unit dermoscopy highlights, noting clinical features such as nail dystrophy and triangular band shapes, which can overshadow dermoscopic findings.

Shifting the Clinical Conversation Around Statins in PBC, With Jonggi Choi, MD, PhD

For many years, concerns about hepatotoxicity have contributed to hesitancy around prescribing statins in patients with chronic liver disease. While recent research has largely addressed and dispelled these concerns, a lack of studies specific to cholestatic conditions like 

A new study from Jonggi Choi, MD, PhD, and colleagues points to a reduced risk of hepatic decompensation and major liver events in patients with PBC taking statins, supporting a potential protective effect in this population.

, Choi addressed longstanding cautions around statins in liver disease head-on, explaining how his team’s findings may help shift the clinical conversation.

Check out part 1 of our discussion with Choi 

“Historically, there has been some concern and hesitancy among physicians prescribing statins in patients with chronic liver disease,” Choi acknowledged, noting that even though multiple studies have demonstrated the general safety of statins in chronic liver disease, apprehension still influences day-to-day prescribing decisions.

His study, which focused largely on stable patients with PBC, most of whom were already receiving ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA) and had preserved liver function, found no evidence of harm associated with statin use. On the contrary, statins were linked to a significantly lower risk of future liver decompensation.

However, Choi emphasized that the findings should not be interpreted as definitive proof supporting the use of statins specifically for liver protection. Despite the use of a rigorous target trial emulation design to strengthen causal inference, he notes that the data remain observational. Still, he says the study should provide clinicians with reassurance that statins do not need to be withheld in patients with stable PBC or other chronic liver diseases when there is a clear cardiovascular indication.

Looking ahead, Choi outlined several critical next steps. Strengthening causal inference remains a priority, with confirmation ideally coming from randomized controlled trials.

He also highlighted the need for better phenotyping to determine whether statin benefits vary by fibrosis stage, biochemical response to UDCA, or coexisting metabolic risk factors. According to Choi, mechanistic studies are equally important, particularly to clarify how statins’ anti-inflammatory and antifibrotic effects interact with autoimmune cholestatic injury in PBC.

“I see this study as a strong signal-generating step that opens the door for both clinical trials and more refined observational narratives,” Choi said.

Food Quality More Important Than Carbs or Fat for Preventing Heart Disease, With Zhiyuan Wu, PhD

 risk by dieting may depend on the quality of food more than the amount of carbohydrates or fat intake, according to a recent study.

Low-carb and low-fat diets are wildly popular in the US, despite little evidence existing to determine their long-term cardiovascular effects and the role of diet quality within the diet patterns. In this study, investigators aimed to prospectively examine the associations of these diets with coronary heart disease (CHD) risk among US individuals, as well as the objective metabolomic indices associated with the condition.

“Low-carb and low-fat diets are widely practiced in the US for weight control, glucose control, and metabolic health, but their effects on reducing heart disease risk is an ongoing debate, and one with mixed findings,” Zhiyuan Wu, PhD, a postdoctoral research fellow at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health and lead author of the present study, told 

 in an exclusive interview. “People follow their diets, but they can still choose unhealthy foods.”

Wu and colleagues collected data on 198,473 participants – 42,720 men from the Health Professionals Follow-Up Study (HPFS), 64,164 women in the Nurses’ Health Study (NHS), and 91,589 women from NHSII – to investigate CHD incidence. The team derived 5 low-carb diet and 5 low-fat diet indices based on food frequency questionnaires (FFQs). Each questionnaire emphasized different qualities and sources of macronutrients, including animal- versus plant-based foods, whole grains versus refined carbohydrates, and so on.

The team then assessed multimetabolite scores of low-carb and low-fat diet indices via elastic net regressions among 1146 healthy participants in lifestyle validation studies, which were embedded in NHS, NHSII, and HPFS. Patients were followed up for a total of 5,248,916 person-years, during which 20,033 CHD cases were documented.

Wu and colleagues compared individuals with the highest and lowest low-carb diet scores, determining a pooled multivariable-adjusted hazard ratio for CHD of 1.05 (95% CI, 1.01-1.1) for overall low-carb diets, 1.07 (95% CI, 1.02-1.12) for animal low-carb diets, 0.94 (95% CI, 0.9-0.99) for vegetable low-carb diets, 1.14 (95% CI, 1.09-1.2) for unhealthy low-carb diets, and 0.85 (95% CI, 0.82-0.89) for healthy low-carb diets.

For low-fat diets, the estimated hazard ratios were 0.93 (95% CI, 0.89-0.98) for overall low-fat diets, 0.94 (95% CI, 0.9-0.98) for animal low-fat diets, 0.87 (0.83-0.91) for vegetable low-fat diets, 1.12 (95% CI, 1.07-1.17) for unhealthy low-fat diets, and 0.87 (0.83-0.91) for healthy low-fat diets. The healthy versions of both diet patterns were also linked to lower triglycerides, higher HDL cholesterol, and lower high-sensitivity C-reactive protein levels. Additionally, both diets were associated with favorable metabolomic profiles, including decreased valine and increased 3-indolepropionic acid. Unhealthy patterns displayed opposite associations.

Investigators developed multimetabolite scores for both diet indices in the LVS and replicated in NHS, NHSII, and HPFS (

 = 0.21-0.38). These scores displayed associations with CHD risk, which were highly consistent with those obtained from the FFQ assessments.

Wu and colleagues did, however, note certain limitations of the study. These findings may not be generalizable to more extreme diets, such as ketogenic diets, and should be interpreted within the observed ranges of macronutrients. Additionally, dietary intake was fully self-reported by all patients enrolled in the study and thus was subject to measurement errors. The study findings might also have limited generalizability due to the patient population being health professionals, who presumably had higher health awareness and better access to care.

“For the public, we should still emphasize overall diet patterns rather than strict macronutrient restriction,” Wu said. “I think that focusing on overall diet quality should be an easy program for people to follow, compared with very extreme ways of cutting carbs or fat.”
