Abstract

BACKGROUND

Type 2 diabetes mellitus is the leading cause of kidney failure worldwide, but few effective long-term treatments are available. In cardiovascular trials of inhibitors of sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2), exploratory results have suggested that such drugs may improve renal outcomes in patients with type 2 diabetes.

METHODS

In this double-blind, randomized trial, we assigned patients with type 2 diabetes and albuminuric chronic kidney disease to receive canagliflozin, an oral SGLT2 inhibitor, at a dose of 100 mg daily or placebo. All the patients had an estimated glomerular filtration rate (GFR) of 30 to <90 ml per minute per 1.73 m of body-surface area and albuminuria (ratio of albumin [mg] to creatinine [g], >300 to 5000) and were treated with renin-angiotensin system blockade. The primary outcome was a composite of end-stage kidney disease (dialysis, transplantation, or a sustained estimated GFR of <15 ml per minute per 1.73 m), a doubling of the serum creatinine level, or death from renal or cardiovascular causes. Prespecified secondary outcomes were tested hierarchically.

RESULTS

The trial was stopped early after a planned interim analysis on the recommendation of the data and safety monitoring committee. At that time, 4401 patients had undergone randomization, with a median follow-up of 2.62 years. The relative risk of the primary outcome was 30% lower in the canagliflozin group than in the placebo group, with event rates of 43.2 and 61.2 per 1000 patient-years, respectively (hazard ratio, 0.70; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.59 to 0.82; P = 0.00001). The relative risk of the renal-specific composite of end-stage kidney disease, a doubling of the creatinine level, or death from renal causes was lower by 34% (hazard ratio, 0.66; 95% CI, 0.53 to 0.81; P<0.001), and the relative risk of end-stage kidney disease was lower by 32% (hazard ratio, 0.68; 95% CI, 0.54 to 0.86; P = 0.002). The canagliflozin group also had a lower risk of cardiovascular death, myocardial infarction, or stroke (hazard ratio, 0.80; 95% CI, 0.67 to 0.95; P = 0.01) and hospitalization for heart failure (hazard ratio, 0.61; 95% CI, 0.47 to 0.80; P<0.001). There were no significant differences in rates of amputation or fracture.

CONCLUSIONS

In patients with type 2 diabetes and kidney disease, the risk of kidney failure and cardiovascular events was lower in the canagliflozin group than in the placebo group at a median follow-up of 2.62 years.

摘要

背景

2 型糖尿病是全球范围内导致肾衰竭的主要原因，但目前可用的有效长期治疗方法却寥寥无几。在钠-葡萄糖共转运蛋白 2（SGLT2）抑制剂的心血管试验中，探索性结果表明，此类药物可能改善 2 型糖尿病患者的肾脏结局。

方法

在这项双盲、随机试验中，我们将患有 2 型糖尿病和白蛋白尿性慢性肾病的患者随机分为卡格列净组（每日 100 mg，口服 SGLT2 抑制剂）或安慰剂组。所有患者的肾小球滤过率（GFR）估计值（eGFR）均为 30 至<90 ml/min/1.73 m2，且白蛋白尿（白蛋白[mg]与肌酐[g]比值，>300 至 5000），并接受肾素-血管紧张素系统阻断剂治疗。主要终点是终末期肾病（透析、移植或持续 eGFR<15 ml/min/1.73 m2）、血清肌酐水平加倍或因肾脏或心血管原因死亡的复合终点。预先设定的次要终点按层次进行检验。

结果

在数据和安全监测委员会的建议下，提前对中期分析进行了计划干预，随后试验停止。当时，4401 名患者接受了随机分组，中位随访时间为 2.62 年。卡格列净组的主要终点事件风险比安慰剂组低 30%，分别为每 1000 名患者年 43.2 例和 61.2 例（风险比，0.70；95%置信区间 [CI]，0.59 至 0.82；P=0.00001）。肾脏特异性复合终点事件（终末期肾病、肌酐水平加倍或肾脏原因死亡）的风险降低了 34%（风险比，0.66；95%CI，0.53 至 0.81；P<0.001），终末期肾病的风险降低了 32%（风险比，0.68；95%CI，0.54 至 0.86；P=0.002）。卡格列净组的心血管死亡、心肌梗死或中风（风险比，0.80；95%CI，0.67 至 0.95；P=0.01）和心力衰竭住院（风险比，0.61；95%CI，0.47 至 0.80；P<0.001）的风险也较低。截肢或骨折的发生率没有显著差异。
