Summary of CVOT data for SGLT-2 inhibitors currently marketed in the United States

Agent Trial Name (clinicaltrials.gov Identifier) Summary of Key Findings
Empagliflozin98,99 EMPA-REG Outcome Trial (NCT01131676) The primary composite CV outcome occurred in significantly fewer patients in the empagliflozin group (10.5%) than the placebo group (12.1%; HR, 0.86; 95% CI, 0.74 to 0.99; P=0.04 for superiority)
The empagliflozin group had significantly lower rates of death from CV causes (3.7% versus 5.9% in the placebo group; 38% relative risk reduction), hospitalization for heart failure (2.7% and 4.1%, respectively; 35% relative risk reduction), and death from any cause (5.7% and 8.3%, respectively; 32% relative risk reduction)
Doubling of SCr occurred in 1.5% of the empagliflozin group and 2.6% of the placebo group (44% relative risk reduction)
Progression to macroalbuminuria occurred in 11.2% of the empagliflozin group and 16.2% of the placebo group (38% relative risk reduction)
RRT was initiated in 0.3% of the empagliflozin group and 0.6% of the placebo group (55% relative risk reduction)
Canagliflozin100 CANVAS (NCT01032629) Trial completed in February 2017; results pending
Dapagliflozin101 DECLARE-TIMI-58 (NCT01730534) Trial in progress; estimated completion in April of 2019
