FDA-approved drug may address a major cause of infertility: Finerenone boosts ovary function in mice and appears to help people with primary ovarian insufficiency produce mature eggs
Mouse research points to new infertility treatment using approved drug: Research with mice showed that the FDA-approved drug finerenone can stimulate early follicle growth, leading to more mature eggs and increased fertility. In a small, uncontrolled study with people who have primary ovarian insufficiency, treatment with finerenone was followed by the production of mature eggs and fertilized embryos, suggesting a possible new option for patients who typically cannot benefit from standard IVF.
