Background

In a secondary analysis of the SCORED trial using the complete laboratory dataset, sotagliflozin (SOTA), a dual SGLT1 & 2 inhibitor, reduced the risk of kidney and cardiorenal composite endpoints in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D) and diabetic kidney disease (DKD). This post hoc analysis of SCORED evaluated the effect of SOTA versus placebo on eGFR slope and the impact of baseline kidney function and glycemia.

Methods

We derived the acute eGFR slope (from baseline to week 4), chronic slope (week 4 to month 12) and total slope using a spline mixed effects repeated measures model on the entire cohort and in the following baseline subgroups – eGFR <30, 30 to <45, ≥45 ml/min/1.73m2; A1, A2 and A3 albuminuria; glycated hemoglobin A1C <8%, ≥8 to <9%, ≥9%.

Results

Within the entire cohort of 10,574 participants, a placebo-adjusted acute decline in eGFR of -2.59 ml/min/1.73m2/year (95% CI -2.88, -2.30; p<0.0001) was observed. The chronic slope, measured after this acute decline, was 1.99 ml/min/1.73m2/year in favor of SOTA (95% CI 1.63, 2.34; p<0.0001). The total placebo-adjusted slope was -0.08 ml/min/1.73m2/year (95% CI -0.43, 0.27; p=0.67). The magnitude of the acute decline attenuated across progressively lower eGFR subgroups (P-interaction =0.017). Effects on chronic slope were consistent across baseline eGFR and A1C subgroups (P-interaction=0.48 and 0.22). Compared to placebo, SOTA had a greater benefit on chronic slope with increasing baseline albuminuria (P-interaction=0.023)

Conclusion

In participants with DKD, treatment with SOTA conferred kidney protection across a spectrum of baseline kidney function and glycemic control. The magnitude of kidney protection was larger with increasing albuminuria.
