Brief summary

The purpose of this study is to learn whether dapagliflozin, after 12 weeks, can improve (decrease) blood pressure in patients with type 2 diabetes with uncontrolled hypertension who are on an angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor or an angiotensin receptor blocker. The safety of this treatment will also be studied.

MeasureTime frameDescription
Adjusted Mean Change From Baseline in Seated Systolic Blood Pressure (BP) at Week 12From Baseline to Week 12Seated BP was to be measured at every visit. Data after rescue medication was excluded. The patient first rested for at least 10 minutes in the seated position. Seated blood BP was determined from the mean of 3 replicated measurements obtained at least 1 minute apart. However, if the 3 consecutive seated BP readings were not within 8 mm Hg of each other, an additional 2 BP readings were to be obtained (total=5) and incorporated into the calculated mean for systolic BP and diastolic BP. For the initial BP recording, BP was measured in both arms. If the BP was higher in 1 arm, that arm was used for BP measurement. If there was no difference in BP measurements between arms, the dominant arm was used for all future BP measurements. All randomized participants who received at least 1 dose of study drug and who had nonmissing baseline and at least 1 postbaseline value during the double-blind treatment period were used for analysis. SD=standard deviation.
Adjusted Mean Change From Baseline in Hemoglobin (HbA1c) at Week 12From Baseline to Week 12HbA1c was measured as percent of hemoglobin by a central laboratory. All randomized participants who received at least 1 dose of study drug and who had nonmissing baseline and at least 1 postbaseline value during the double-blind treatment period were used for analysis. SD=standard deviation.

Participant flow

Recruitment details

This study was originally designed with 2 additional double-blind treatment arms, dapagliflozin 2.5 and 5 mg, but randomization of new patients into these arms stopped with implementation of Protocol Amendment 8 on 1-11-11. Patients randomized to dapagliflozin 2.5 or 5 mg remained on their blinded medication until study completion.

Pre-assignment details

Of 2996 participants enrolled, 944 were randomized and received double-blind treatment.

Adjusted Mean Change From Baseline in Hemoglobin (HbA1c) at Week 12

HbA1c was measured as percent of hemoglobin by a central laboratory. All randomized participants who received at least 1 dose of study drug and who had nonmissing baseline and at least 1 postbaseline value during the double-blind treatment period were used for analysis. SD=standard deviation.

Time frame: From Baseline to Week 12

Population: This study originally had 2 additional arms-dapagliflozin 2.5 and 5 mg-but randomization to these arms stopped when Protocol Amendment 8 (1-11-11) was implemented. Because endpoints focused only on 10-mg and placebo data, only patients in these arms who received study drug and who had nonmissing baseline and Week 12 values were included.
