Conclusion Despite differences in participant characteristics, dapagliflozin reduced the risk of kidney and cardiovascular endpoints and all-cause mortality in participants with CKD, with and without type 2 diabetes, to a similar extent across all pre-specified geographic regions. Baseline characteristics by region Of 4304 randomized participants, 1346 (31.3%) were in Asia, 1233 (28.6%) in Europe, 912 (21.2%) in Latin America, and 813 (18.9%) in North America. There were some variations in the participants from difference regions (Table 1): The mean age was lower among participants in Asia, and higher among participants in North America. BMI was lowest in Asia and highest in North America. eGFR was similar across regions, but UACR was lowest in North America. In North America there was a higher proportion with type 2 diabetes. The proportion with cardiovascular disease at baseline was lowest in Asia. Primary and secondary outcomes Dapagliflozin consistently reduced the risk of the primary composite endpoint across the four regions by 30 to 49% (Figure 1). There was no significant heterogeneity between regions (p=0.77). There was no evidence of differences in secondary outcomes between regions (Figure 1). Safety Serious adverse events were numerically less frequent in the dapagliflozin group, compared to the placebo group, within each region (Table 2). Study design DAPA-CKD was a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial. 1 Adults with baseline estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) 25–75 mL/min/1.73m 2 and urinary albumin-to-creatinine ratio (UACR) 200–5000 mg/g, and who were receiving a stable dose of an angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor or angiotensin receptor blocker, were randomized 1:1 to receive dapagliflozin 10mg or placebo once daily. The study was conducted at 386 study sites in 21 countries, categorized into four broad geographic regions. Outcomes The primary endpoint was a composite of the following: Sustained 50% decline in eGFR (confirmed by a second serum creatinine after at least 28 days). Onset of end-stage kidney disease (defined as maintenance dialysis for more than 28 days, kidney transplantation, or eGFR <15 mL/min/1.73 m 2 confirmed by a second measurement after at least 28 days). Death from a kidney or cardiovascular cause. Pre-specified secondary outcomes were, in hierarchal order: A composite kidney endpoint, the same as the primary endpoint, but excluding death from cardiovascular causes. A cardiovascular composite of hospitalization for heart failure or cardiovascular death. All-cause mortality. Time-to-event analyses using Cox proportional hazards models stratified by randomization factors (diabetes status and UACR) and adjusting for baseline eGFR, were used for the primary and secondary endpoints. Results Background The DAPA-CKD trial demonstrated that dapagliflozin reduced the risk of kidney and cardiovascular events, and prolonged survival, in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD), with and without type 2 diabetes. 1 Regional differences in patient characteristics, comorbidities, and medical practice may result in differences in the efficacy and safety profile of a drug across regions. 2,3 Here, we examined whether the effects of dapagliflozin varied by pre-specified geographic region. eGFR, estimated glomerular filtration rate; ESKD, end-stage kidney disease. 0.2 1 2 0.5 Dapagliflozin n/N Events/100 patient-years Placebo Hazard Ratio (95% CI) P Value for Interaction Primary outcome: eGFR decline ≥50%, ESKD, or kidney or cardiovascular death Overall Asia Europe Latin America North America 197/2152 50/692 57/610 55/449 35/401 312/2152 69/654 89/623 85/463 69/412 0.61 (0.51, 0.72) 0.70 (0.48, 1.00) 0.60 (0.43, 0.85) 0.61 (0.43, 0.86) 0.51 (0.34, 0.76) 0.77 4.6 4.2 4.4 5.8 4.2 7.5 6.3 6.7 9.0 8.5 Secondary outcome: eGFR decline ≥50%, ESKD, or kidney death Overall Asia Europe Latin America North America 142/2152 41/692 38/610 39/449 24/401 243/2152 62/654 61/623 70/463 50/412 0.56 (0.45, 0.68) 0.64 (0.43, 0.95) 0.55 (0.37, 0.83) 0.52 (0.35, 0.77) 0.48 (0.29, 0.78) 0.91 3.3 3.5 2.9 4.1 2.9 5.8 5.7 4.6 7.4 6.1 Secondary outcome: Heart failure hospitalization or cardiovascular death Overall Asia Europe Latin America North America 100/2152 14/692 33/610 25/449 28/401 138/2152 17/654 59/623 24/463 38/412 0.71 (0.55, 0.92) 0.77 (0.38, 1.57) 0.57 (0.37, 0.87) 1.04 (0.59, 1.82) 0.73 (0.45, 1.20) 0.39 2.2 1.1 2.4 2.4 3.0 3.0 1.4 4.2 2.3 4.2 Secondary outcome: All-cause mortality Overall Asia Europe Latin America North America 101/2152 16/692 32/610 30/449 23/401 146/2152 20/654 46/623 45/463 35/412 0.69 (0.53, 0.88) 0.75 (0.39, 1.46) 0.71 (0.45, 1.11) 0.67 (0.42, 1.07) 0.65 (0.38, 1.10) 0.99 2.2 1.2 2.3 2.9 2.5 3.1 1.7 3.2 4.2 3.7 Dapagliflozin Placebo Placebo better Dapagliflozin better *Reported by the investigator, “other” includes Native Hawaiian or other Pacific Islander, American Indian or Alaska Native, and other; In patients with type 2 diabetes at baseline.

Conclusion

Despite differences in participant characteristics, dapagliflozin reduced the risk of kidney and cardiovascular endpoints and all-cause mortality in participants with CKD, with and without type 2 diabetes, to a similar extent across all pre-specified geographic regions.

Baseline characteristics by region• Of 4304 randomized participants, 1346 (31.3%) were in Asia, 1233

(28.6%) in Europe, 912 (21.2%) in Latin America, and 813 (18.9%) in North America.

• There were some variations in the participants from difference regions (Table 1):

– The mean age was lower among participants in Asia, and higher among participants in North America.

– BMI was lowest in Asia and highest in North America. – eGFR was similar across regions, but UACR was lowest in

North America. – In North America there was a higher proportion with type 2 diabetes. – The proportion with cardiovascular disease at baseline was lowest

in Asia.

Primary and secondary outcomes• Dapagliflozin consistently reduced the risk of the primary

composite endpoint across the four regions by 30 to 49% (Figure 1).

– There was no significant heterogeneity between regions (p=0.77).

• There was no evidence of differences in secondary outcomes between regions (Figure 1).

Safety• Serious adverse events were numerically less frequent in the

dapagliflozin group, compared to the placebo group, within each region (Table 2).Study design

• DAPA-CKD was a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial.1

• Adults with baseline estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) 25–75 mL/min/1.73m2 and urinary albumin-to-creatinine ratio (UACR) 200–5000 mg/g, and who were receiving a stable dose of an angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor or angiotensin receptor blocker, were randomized 1:1 to receive dapagliflozin 10mg or placebo once daily.

• The study was conducted at 386 study sites in 21 countries, categorized into four broad geographic regions.

Outcomes• The primary endpoint was a composite of the following: – Sustained ≥50% decline in eGFR (confirmed by a second serum

creatinine after at least 28 days). – Onset of end-stage kidney disease (defined as maintenance

dialysis for more than 28 days, kidney transplantation, or eGFR <15 mL/min/1.73 m2 confirmed by a second measurement after at least 28 days).

– Death from a kidney or cardiovascular cause.

• Pre-specified secondary outcomes were, in hierarchal order: – A composite kidney endpoint, the same as the primary endpoint,

but excluding death from cardiovascular causes. – A cardiovascular composite of hospitalization for heart failure or

cardiovascular death. – All-cause mortality.

• Time-to-event analyses using Cox proportional hazards models stratified by randomization factors (diabetes status and UACR) and adjusting for baseline eGFR, were used for the primary and secondary endpoints.

ResultsBackground• The DAPA-CKD trial demonstrated that dapagliflozin reduced the risk

of kidney and cardiovascular events, and prolonged survival, in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD), with and without type 2 diabetes.1

• Regional differences in patient characteristics, comorbidities, and medical practice may result in differences in the efficacy and safety profile of a drug across regions.2,3

• Here, we examined whether the effects of dapagliflozin varied by pre-specified geographic region.
