Background

Albuminuria is a risk factor for kidney disease progression and CV disease. We examined the relative and absolute effects of CANA by baseline albuminuria among CREDENCE participants.

Methods

CREDENCE was a double-blind, randomized study of 4401 participants with eGFR 30-<90mL/min/1.73m2 and uACR >300-5000mg/g who demonstrated that CANA significantly reduced renal and CV outcomes, including the primary composite of end-stage kidney disease, doubling serum creatinine, or renal or CV death. We analyzed the effect of CANA on renal, CV, and safety outcomes by baseline uACR.

Results

At baseline, 2348 (53.4%), 1547 (35.2%), and 506 (11.5%) participants had uACR ≤1000, >1000-<3000, ≥3000mg/g. Higher uACR was associated with higher event rates (Figure). CANA reduced renal and CV endpoints, with no statistical variation by uACR (all p heterogeneity >0.17). CANA led to a greater absolute reduction in renal events in those with higher uACR (number needed to treat to prevent 1 episode of the primary composite: 22 and 8 for uACR >1000-<3000 and ≥3000mg/g). Rates of renal-related adverse events were lower with CANA, and the relative reduction was greater with higher uACR (p heterogeneity=0.003). CANA had no significant effect on acute kidney injury, volume depletion, hyperkalemia, urinary tract infections or hypoglycemia, with no differences by uACR (all p heterogeneity >0.12).

Conclusion

CANA safely reduces renal and CV events in people with type 2 diabetes and substantial albuminuria, with the greatest absolute renal benefit in those with uACR of 3000-5000mg/g.
