Brief summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of dapagliflozin on renal outcomes and cardiovascular mortality in patients with chronic kidney disease.

Detailed description

This is an international, multicentre, event-driven, randomized, double-blind, parallel group, placebo-controlled study, evaluating the effect of dapagliflozin versus placebo, given once daily in addition to standard of care, to prevent the progression of chronic kidney disease (CKD) or cardiovascular (CV)/renal death.

Interventions

DRUGDapagliflozin

10 mg or 5 mg tablets given once daily, per oral use.

DRUGPlacebo

Placebo matching dapagliflozin 10 mg or 5 mg

Time to the First Occurrence of Any of the Components of the Composite: ≥50% Sustained Decline in eGFR or Reaching ESRD or CV Death or Renal Death.

End Stage Renal Disease (ESRD) is defined as: * Sustained eGFR \<15 mL/min/1.73m2 or, * Chronic dialysis treatment or, * Receiving a renal transplant The proportional hazards Cox regression model takes into account the time to the event. Data is reported as the numbers of subjects with the event and the Hazard ratio is included in the Statistical Analysis section attached to the Outcome Measure data table.

Time frame: Up to 38.2 months

Population: For the primary endpoint the Full Analysis Set was used. This included all patients who were randomized to study treatment. Patients were analyzed according to their randomized treatment assignment.
