RATIONALE & OBJECTIVE: Hyperglycemia exacerbates the progression of chronic kidney disease (CKD), but most glucose-lowering therapies do not address morbidities associated with CKD. Sodium/glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors offer potential benefits to patients with diabetes and CKD, but their effectiveness may be diminished with decreased kidney function. We aimed to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of bexagliflozin, a novel SGLT2 inhibitor, in patients with type 2 diabetes and CKD.
Phase 3, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multicenter, multinational, randomized trial.
SETTING & PARTICIPANTS: 54 sites across 4 countries. Patients with CKD stage 3a or 3b, type 2 diabetes mellitus, and hemoglobin A level of 7.0% to 10.5% and estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) of 30 to 59mL/min/1.73m who were taking oral hypoglycemic agents for 8 weeks.
Bexagliflozin, 20mg, daily versus placebo for 24 weeks.
Primary outcome was change in percent hemoglobin A from baseline to week 24. Secondary end points included changes in body weight, systolic blood pressure, albuminuria, and hemoglobin A level stratified by CKD stage.
312 patients across 54 sites were analyzed. Bexagliflozin lowered hemoglobin A levels by 0.37% (95% CI, 0.20%-0.54%); P<0.001 compared to placebo. Patients with CKD stages 3a (eGFR, 45-<60mL/min/1.73m) and 3b (eGFR, 30-<45mL/min/1.73m) experienced reductions in hemoglobin A levels of 0.31% (P=0.007) and 0.43% (P=0.002), respectively. Bexagliflozin decreased body weight (1.61kg; P<0.001), systolic blood pressure (3.8mm Hg; P=0.02), fasting plasma glucose level (0.76mmol/L; P=0.003), and albuminuria (geometric mean ratio reduction of 20.1%; P=0.03). Urinary tract infection and genital mycotic infections were more common in the bexagliflozin group; otherwise, frequencies of adverse events were comparable between groups.
Not designed to evaluate the impact of treatment on long-term kidney disease and cardiovascular outcomes.
Bexagliflozin reduces hemoglobin A levels in patients with diabetes and stage 3a/3b CKD and appears to be well tolerated. Additional observed benefits included reductions in body weight, systolic blood pressure, and albuminuria.

高血糖会加重慢性肾脏病(CKD)的进展,但大多数降血糖疗法并不能解决与 CKD 相关的并发症。钠/葡萄糖共转运蛋白 2(SGLT2)抑制剂为糖尿病合并 CKD 患者带来了潜在益处,但随着肾功能下降,其疗效可能会降低。我们旨在评估新型 SGLT2 抑制剂贝格列净在 2 型糖尿病合并 CKD 患者中的安全性和有效性。
这是一项 3 期、双盲、安慰剂对照、多中心、多国、随机临床试验。
来自 4 个国家的 54 个地点。患者为 CKD 3a 期或 3b 期、2 型糖尿病、血红蛋白 A1c 水平为 7.0%10.5%,估算肾小球滤过率(eGFR)为 3059mL/min/1.73m²,接受口服降糖药治疗 8 周。
每日服用贝格列净 20mg,或安慰剂,治疗 24 周。
从基线到第 24 周时血红蛋白 A 的百分比变化。次要终点包括按 CKD 分期分层的体重、收缩压、白蛋白尿和血红蛋白 A 水平的变化。
54 个地点的 312 名患者纳入分析。与安慰剂相比,贝格列净使血红蛋白 A 水平降低了 0.37%(95%CI,0.20%0.54%);P<0.001。CKD 3a 期(eGFR,45<60mL/min/1.73m)和 3b 期(eGFR,30~<45mL/min/1.73m)患者的血红蛋白 A 水平分别降低了 0.31%(P=0.007)和 0.43%(P=0.002)。贝格列净降低了体重(1.61kg;P<0.001)、收缩压(3.8mmHg;P=0.02)、空腹血糖水平(0.76mmol/L;P=0.003)和白蛋白尿(几何均数比值降低 20.1%;P=0.03)。贝格列净组更常见尿路感染和生殖器霉菌感染;否则,两组间不良事件的发生率相当。
未设计用于评估治疗对长期肾脏疾病和心血管结局的影响。
贝格列净可降低 2 型糖尿病合并 3a/3b CKD 患者的血红蛋白 A 水平,且似乎具有良好的耐受性。其他观察到的益处包括体重、收缩压和白蛋白尿的降低。
