Efficacy

EMPA-KIDNEY is the only SGLT2i CKD trial to include the understudied type of patients with low eGFR and without albuminuria1,5

The EMPA-KIDNEY trials is a randomised, double-blind trial to evaluate efficacy and safety of once-daily JARDIANCE 10mg (n=3304) compared to placebo (n=3305), in adults with or without T2D with evidence of CKD at risk of progression. Median follow up was 2 years.

JARIDANCE reduced risk of kidney disease progression or CV death in a broad patient population* vs placebo1

JARDIANCE® (empagliflozin) efficacy - primary and secondary endpoint diagram

* EMPA-KIDNEY included patients with a wide range of underlying causes of CKD, many with co-morbidities across the spectrum of cardiovascular, kidney, or metabolic conditions. EMPA-KIDNEY included adult patients with an eGFR ≥20 to <45mL/min/1.73m2 or an eGFR ≥45 to <90mL/min/1.73m2 with a UACR ≥200mg/g, at risk of CKD progression.

Kidney disease progression defined as: adults with kidney function loss (sustained reduction of ≥40% eGFR decline, sustained eGFR <10mL/min/1.73m2), end stage kidney disease (initiation of chronic dialysis or kidney transplant), or renal death.

JARDIANCE® (empagliflozin) efficacy - primary endpoint graph

JARDIANCE demonstrated consistent results in the subgroup analysis of the primary end point across a range of baseline characteristics1,3*

† History of diabetes was defined as a patient-reported history of diabetes of any type, use of glucose-lowering medication, or a glycated haemoglobin level of at least 48mmol/mol (6.5%) at the randomisation visit. Of the diabetic patients enrolled (both T1D and T2D), >95% had T2D.1

‡ Values represent the measurement recorded at the randomisation visit or the most recent local laboratory result recorded before randomisation.

* Results of subgroup analyses of underlying cause of renal diseases, (Diabetic kidney disease; Hypertensive/renovascular disease; Glomerular disease; Other/unknown), baseline diabetes, baseline eGFR and RAASI use were consistent (interaction p-values >0.05).

JARDIANCE protected the kidneys by slowing the decline of renal function over time and could delay time to dialysis1

Enrolled patients down to an eGFR of 20mL/min/1.73m2

Prespecified tertiary outcome of EMPA-KIDNEY trial

JARDIANCE® (empagliflozin) efficacy - tertiary outcome graph

* Prespecified tertiary outcome: (Chronic slope, referred to as “Long term”): Mean annual rates of change in eGFR from 2 months to the final follow-up visit by treatment allocation were estimated using shared parameter models.

JARDIANCE® (empagliflozin) efficacy - tertiary outcome graph - eGFR

Prespecified tertiary outcome included the mean annual rates of change in eGFR in mL/min/1.73m2 per year from baseline to the final follow-up visit (“total slopes”) by treatment allocation were estimated using shared parameter models.

JARDIANCE slowed progression of kidney function decline after the known initial dip in eGFR1,2,4

Prespecified exploratory outcome of EMPA-KIDNEY trial

JARDIANCE® (empagliflozin) efficacy - exploratory outcome graph

* Prespecified exploratory outcome. Linear mixed models for repeated measures analyses were used to estimate the mean estimated eGFR in each group at each scheduled follow-up visit.
