Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The main objective of the study is to investigate whether dapagliflozin, compared with placebo, reduces the incidence of CV death or hospitalization for HF or equivalent event (ie an urgent HF visit) when added to background standard of care treatment. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The rationale for including CV death or hospitalization for HF, but excluding non-hospitalized urgent HF visits, is that this is the more conventional composite HF endpoint, may be regarded as including *harder* outcomes and will allow direct comparison with other HF trials. The rationale for including total number of hospitalizations (including re-hospitalizations) for HF is to capture the impact of recurrent non-fatal HF hospitalizations. Taken together with CV death, these events give a better estimate of the full burden of HF on patients and healthcare systems than time-to-first event analysis. The rationale for the secondary renal composite EP is that renal dysfunction is very common in heart failure, may lead to discontinuation of disease-modifying therapies and is associated with poor outcomes. All-cause mortality will be assessed as a secondary endpoint because it is important to evaluate the effect of dapagliflozin on non-cardiovascular, as well as cardiovascular, mortality and hence overall mortality. | — |
