Summary of SGLT2i RCTs including IgAN participants. eGFR as CKD-EPI

Trial Key Inclusion criteria Primary outcomes Key exclusion criteria Regimen Outcome
DAPA-CKD eGFR ≥25 and ≤75 ml/min per 1.73 m2,
uPCR ≥200 and ≤5000 mg/g,
stable + maximum tolerated single agent RAS blockade for 4 weeks
Sustained decline of eGFR by 50%, ESKD or death from cardio-renal causes Immunosuppressive therapy, organ transplantation. dapagliflozin 10 mg/day Outcome occurred in 9.2% of treatment group vs. 14.5% in placebo group.
EMPA-KIDNEY eGFR ≥20 and ≤45 ml/min per 1.73 m2
OR
eGFR ≥45 and <90 ml/min per 1.73 m2 with uPCR ≥300 mg/g
Sustained decline of eGFR by 40% or to 10, ESKD, or death from cardio-renal causes Immunosuppressive therapy, kidney transplant, dual RAS blockade. empagliflozin 10 mg/day Outcome occurred in 13.1% of treatment group vs. 16.9% in placebo group.

CKD-EPI, chronic kidney disease: epidemiology collaboration; eGFR, estimated glomerular filtration rate; ESKD, end-stage kidney disease; IgAN, IgA nephropathy; RAS, renin-angiotensin system; RCT, randomized controlled trial; SGLT2i, sodium-glucose co-transporter-2 inhibitor; uPCR, urine protein-to-creatinine ratio.
