About this study
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of dapagliflozin on renal outcomes and cardiovascular mortality in patients with chronic kidney disease.
Read the detailed description
This is an international, multicentre, event-driven, randomized, double-blind, parallel group, placebo-controlled study, evaluating the effect of dapagliflozin versus placebo, given once daily in addition to standard of care, to prevent the progression of chronic kidney disease (CKD) or cardiovascular (CV)/renal death.
- Conditions
- Chronic Kidney Disease
- Being tested
- Dapagliflozin, Placebo
- Keywords
- Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD), Cardiovascular Events (CV), Phase III outcome trial
- Medical subject headings
- Renal Insufficiency, Chronic
What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
DapagliflozinDrug
Also called Forxiga TM, Farxiga TM
10 mg or 5 mg tablets given once daily, per oral use.
PlaceboDrug
Placebo matching dapagliflozin 10 mg or 5 mg
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Dapagliflozin | Experimental | Patients will be randomized 1:1 to either dapagliflozin or placebo. Receives: Drug: Dapagliflozin |
| Placebo | Placebo comparator | Placebo matching dapagliflozin. Receives: Drug: Placebo |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Time to the First Occurrence of Any of the Components of the Composite: ≥50% Sustained Decline in eGFR or Reaching ESRD or CV Death or Renal Death.
End Stage Renal Disease (ESRD) is defined as:
- Sustained eGFR <15 mL/min/1.73m2 or,
- Chronic dialysis treatment or,
- Receiving a renal transplant The proportional hazards Cox regression model takes into account the time to the event. Data is reported as the numbers of subjects with the event and the Hazard ratio is included in the Statistical Analysis section attached to the Outcome Measure data table.
Measured: Up to 38.2 months

Clinical summary
The research question as the sponsor registered it. This describes what the study plans to test, not what it found.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of dapagliflozin on renal outcomes and cardiovascular mortality in patients with chronic kidney disease.
Detailed description
This is an international, multicentre, event-driven, randomized, double-blind, parallel group, placebo-controlled study, evaluating the effect of dapagliflozin versus placebo, given once daily in addition to standard of care, to prevent the progression of chronic kidney disease (CKD) or cardiovascular (CV)/renal death.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 3 study testing Dapagliflozin in people with Chronic Kidney Disease, run by AstraZeneca at 390 sites in 21 countries.
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
The sponsor lists 5 inclusion and 7 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 7 Jul 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 390 sites in United States, Japan, China, Argentina, Canada and 16 more countries. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
What does this phase mean?
Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.
Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.
Are results available for this study?
Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 7 Jul 2021). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Time to the First Occurrence of Any of the Components of the Composite: ≥50% Sustained Decline in eGFR or Reaching ESRD or CV Death or Renal Death. (time frame: Up to 38.2 months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT03036150, which also lists 35 linked publications.
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 7 Jul 2021.
