Background
The prevalence of chronic kidney disease (CKD) is estimated to be 8-16% worldwide. Patients with CKD have an increased risk of morbidity and mortality. The DAPA-CKD trial (NCT03036150) demonstrated that dapagliflozin, a sodium-glucose co-transporter-2 inhibitor, reduces kidney and cardiovascular (CV) events and mortality in CKD patients with levels of albuminuria in the range 200 to 5000 mg/g. This study aims to extrapolate the dapagliflozin treatment effect in a CKD population with a UACR <200 mg/g.
Methods
The analysis utilised data from the intention-to-treat DAPA-CKD trial population. The primary endpoint and the composite components, sustained estimate glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) decline and end-stage kidney disease (ESKD), were extrapolated as a function of UACR (continuous variable). Annualised estimated event rates spanning a UACR range (0-2,500 mg/g) were generated using poisson models fitted to each endpoint. Event counts were modelled as a function of baseline UACR using the DAPA-CKD data and extended to lower UACR levels. The results were expressed as the ratio of the event rate with dapagliflozin to that with placebo.
Results
The event rate ratios for dapagliflozin versus placebo for the primary composite endpoint (0.67 [95% confidence interval (CI): 0.56-0.80]) and sustained eGFR decline (0.59 [95%CI: 0.48-0.73]) indicated a preserved treatment effect when modelling was applied to those with low UACR (<200 mg/g). There was no evidence to suggest that efficacy would be different in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) or without T2DM for the primary composite [95% CI: 0.56-0.86 (T2DM) versus 0.39-0.79 (no T2DM)], sustained eGFR decline [95% CI: 0.45-0.73 versus 0.36-0.86] or ESKD [95% CI: 0.55-1.11 versus 0.39-1.26] endpoints.
Conclusion
The analysis suggests that the treatment effect of dapagliflozin might be maintained in relation to the primary endpoint in DAPA-CKD and sustained eGFR decline in patients with low UACR (<200 mg/g). Furthermore, treatment efficacy could be similar between patients with or without T2DM. Validation in a prospective trial is required.
