Effectiveness of dapagliflozin versus comparators on renal endpoints in the real world: A multicentre retrospective study.

ABSTRACT: AIM:To evaluate the changes in renal endpoints in type 2 diabetes patients treated with dapagliflozin versus other glucose-lowering medications in routine clinical practice. MATERIALS AND METHODS:DARWIN-T2D was a retrospective study conducted at 46 outpatient diabetes clinics in Italy. An automated software collected data on 17 285 patients who received dapagliflozin, glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists, dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitors, or gliclazide, 6751 of whom had a follow-up visit. We analysed changes in albumin excretion rate (AER) and estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR). RESULTS:Patients who received dapagliflozin (n = 473) were younger, more obese, and had a poorer glucose control than those who received a comparator (n = 2973). After ~6 months, median (interquartile range) AER declined by 37%, from 19.5 (7.5-78.2) to 13.2 (6.5-45.0) mg/g (P < 0.0001) in the dapagliflozin group and did not change in the comparator group. After adjusting for confounders, therapy with dapagliflozin versus comparators was associated with an AER reduction of 26.4 ± 13.1 mg/g (P = 0.045), and eGFR (mL/min/1.73 m2 ) diminished by 1.1 ± 0.5 (P = 0.049) in the dapagliflozin group and by 0.6 ± 9.1 (P = 0.002) in the comparator group (P = 0.35 between groups). No patient treated with dapagliflozin versus four patients treated with comparators experienced a doubling of serum creatinine. CONCLUSIONS:The antiproteinuric effect of dapagliflozin is confirmed here for the first time by real-world data. Despite a mild decline in eGFR, there was no evidence of clinically relevant worsening in renal function.

Project description:AimsThis study is aimed at investigating the eligibility in a real-world heart failure population for the DAPA-HF (testing dapagliflozin) and EMPEROR-reduced (testing empagliflozin) trials, comparing the eligible real-world patients to trial participants and to characterize the noneligible patients.MethodsMedical records of all heart failure patients who had a diagnosis of heart failure from the Heart Centre or Department of Internal Medicine at Umeå University Hospital were reviewed.Results2433 of the hospital's uptake population of 150 000 had a diagnosis of heart failure. 681 patients had left ventricle ejection fraction ≤ 40%, and of these 352 (52%) and 268 (39%) patients met eligibility criteria for DAPA-HF and EMPEROR-reduced, respectively. Comparing eligible patients in our population with the DAPA-HF- and EMPEROR-reduced trial populations, we found that eligible real-world patients were older (79.0 vs. 66.2 years and 80.3 vs. 67.2 years, respectively), had worse renal function (eGFR 54.4 vs. 66.0 ml/min/1.73m2 and 49.5 vs. 61.8 ml/min/1.73m2, respectively), higher prevalence of atrial fibrillation (56.0% vs. 36.1% and 53.0% vs. 35.6%, respectively), and lower prevalence of diabetes mellitus (21.0% vs. 41.8% and 26.1% vs. 49.8%, respectively). The main reasons for ineligibility were low NT-proBNP or low eGFR. Noneligible patients differed according to reason for ineligibility, where patients with low NT-proBNP were generally younger and healthier, and patients with low eGFR were older and had more comorbidities.Conclusions39-52% of patients with heart failure and reduced ejection fraction in this real-world heart failure population were eligible for SGLT2-inhibitor treatment, corresponding to 11-14% of all heart failure patients. Compared to trial participants, eligible real-world patients were significantly older with worse renal function, more atrial fibrillation, and less diabetes mellitus. Trial entry criteria exclude comparatively young and healthy patients, as well as comparatively old patients with more comorbid conditions.
