Background

The CANagliflozin cardioVascular Assessment Study (CANVAS) Program randomized patients with type 2 diabetes to canagliflozin or placebo and demonstrated that the drug reduced the risk of cardiovascular (CV) and renal outcomes. The Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO) chronic kidney disease classification is a risk stratification tool based on estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR, mL/min/1.73 m2) and urinary albumin:creatinine ratio (UACR, mg/g).

Methods

Absolute effects on CV and renal outcomes were analyzed by baseline KDIGO risk category, defined as low risk (eGFR ≥60 and UACR <30), moderate risk (eGFR 45-<60 and UACR <30, or eGFR ≥60 and UACR 30-300), high risk (eGFR 30-<45 and UACR <30, eGFR 45-<60 and UACR 30-300, or eGFR ≥60 and UACR >300), and very high risk (eGFR <30 with any UACR, eGFR 30-<45 and UACR ≥30, or eGFR 45-<60 and UACR >300).

Results

Of 10,142 participants, 10,031 (98.9%) had available baseline eGFR and UACR data. The proportion of participants in low, moderate, high, and very high risk categories was 58.6%, 25.8%, 10.6%, and 5.0%, respectively. Heterogeneity in absolute effects across KDIGO risk categories was observed for the primary outcome (CV death, nonfatal myocardial infarction, or nonfatal stroke; P heterogeneity=0.023), hospitalization for heart failure (P=0.047), and the renal composite outcome (40% decrease in eGFR, end-stage kidney disease, or renal death; P=0.001; Figure).

Conclusion

The absolute reduction in CV and renal outcomes with canagliflozin may be greater in patients at higher renal risk.
