Background: The sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitor dapagliflozin improved kidney and cardiovascular (CV) outcomes in persons with chronic kidney disease (CKD) with and without type 2 diabetes (T2D) in the DAPA-CKD study. In this prespecified analysis we investigate the effects of dapagliflozin on kidney, CV, and mortality outcomes according to baseline diabetes drug class or number of diabetes drugs.

Methods: We enrolled participants with CKD with eGFR 25-75 ml/min/1.73m2 and UACR 200-5000 mg/g, and included those with T2D at baseline in this analysis. The primary endpoint was a composite of sustained decline in eGFR of ≥50%, end-stage kidney disease, or death from kidney or CV causes. Secondary outcomes included a kidney-specific composite (the same as the primary without CV death) , composite of hospitalizations for heart failure and CV mortality, and all-cause mortality. We determined the effect of dapagliflozin, compared with placebo, in subgroups by use or not of diabetes drug classes at baseline: metformin, sulfonylureas, DPP4 inhibitors, GLP-1 receptor agonists and insulin, and by the number of diabetes medications at baseline.

Results: Of 43participants enrolled 29 (68%) had T2D, of which 1598 (55%) were on insulin, 1244 (43%) on metformin, 774 (27%) on sulfonylureas, 742 (26%) on DPP4 inhibitors, and 122 (4%) on GLP-1 receptor agonists. At baseline 327 (11%) were without diabetes treatment, 1442 (50%) were treated with one diabetes drug, 943 (32%) with two drugs and 194 (7%) with three or more. The effect of dapagliflozin on the primary composite outcome was consistent across comparisons of baseline drug class (all pint&gt;0.19) , and according to number of drugs (pint=0.08) . Similarly, we found consistent benefit of dapagliflozin compared to placebo on the secondary endpoints regardless of background drug class or number of drugs.

Conclusion: Dapagliflozin reduced kidney and CV events in T2D with CKD independent of baseline diabetes drug class or number.
