Dapagliflozin and New-Onset Type 2 Diabetes in Patients With Chronic Kidney Disease Or Heart Failure: Pooled Analysis of the DAPA-CKD and DAPA-HF Trials
Lancet Diabetes Endocrinol 2022;10:24–34 doi.org/10.1016/
Chronic kidney disease and heart failure are insulin resistant states associated with high incidence rates of diabetes. Rossing et al. carried out a two Phase 3, randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled trials assessed the effect of dapagliflozin on new-onset type 2 diabetes, in a pooled analysis of data from 6,608 individuals.
Cardiovascular Events with Finerenone in Kidney Disease and Type 2 Diabetes
N Engl J Med 2021;385:2252–63 doi: 10.1056/NEJMoa2110956
Finerenone has desirable effects on cardiorenal outcomes in patients with stage 3 or 4 chronic kidney disease (CKD), type 2 diabetes and severely elevated albuminuria. The outcomes of the use of finerenone are unclear in patients with type 2 diabetes and a wider range of CKD.

Effects of canagliflozin with placebo on major adverse cardiovascular and kidney events in patient groups with different baseline levels of HbA1c disease duration and treatment intensity: results from the CANVAS program
Diabetologia. 2021;64:2402–14 doi.org/10.1007/s00125-021-05524-1
This study by Young et al. shows canagliflozin to have beneficial CV and kidney outcomes in patients with T2DM across a range of diabetes complexities with an underlying risk of CV disease.
Safety and efficacy of dapagliflozin in patients with focal segmental glomerulosclerosis: A prespecified analysis of the DAPA-CKD trial
Nephrol Dial Transplant. 2021 Nov 25;gfab335. DOI: 10.1093/ndt/gfab335.
This study by Wheeler et al. found that dapagliflozin numerically, but not significantly, reduced the rate of chronic decline of eGFR compared to placebo among DAPA-CKD participants with FSGS.
