Background

SGLT2i reduce heart failure (HF) events and slow progression of kidney disease among patients with HF and reduced ejection fraction (EF). In patients with HF and mildly reduced or preserved EF in DELIVER, dapagliflozin significantly reduced the primary composite outcome of cardiovascular (CV) death or worsening HF. We assessed the influence of baseline kidney function on CV outcomes and the effect of dapagliflozin on renal outcomes and eGFR trajectory.

Methods

DELIVER randomized 6,263 patients with EF>40% and eGFR ≥25 ml/min/1.73m2 to dapagliflozin 10mg per day or placebo. We assessed if baseline kidney function modified the treatment effect on the primary CV outcome and its components. In prespecified exploratory analyses, we examined the treatment effect on eGFR slope and a composite kidney outcome (≥50% decline in eGFR; eGFR <15 ml/min/1.73m2; renal death).

Results

Mean eGFR was 61±19 ml/min/1.73m2; 3,070 (49%) had eGFR <60 ml/min/1.73m2. The effect of dapagliflozin on the primary CV outcome was not influenced by baseline eGFR (hazard [HR] 0.84; 95%CI 0.70,1.00 for eGFR≥60 and HR 0.81; 95%CI 0.69,0.94 for eGFR<60; P-interaction=0.76). Dapagliflozin did not reduce the kidney composite outcome, which occurred in 77 of 3,131 patients assigned to dapagliflozin (2.5%) and 71 of 3,131 assigned to placebo (HR 1.09; 95%CI 0.79,1.50). However, dapagliflozin attenuated the decline in eGFR from month 1 to 36, vs. placebo (difference 1.4 (95%CI 1.0,1.8) ml/min/1.73m2/year) Figure 1.

Conclusion

Baseline kidney function did not modify the benefit of dapagliflozin in patients with HF with mildly reduced or preserved EF. Dapagliflozin slowed the rate of decline in eGFR to a greater extent than placebo.
