Effects of Canagliflozin Versus Finerenone on Cardiorenal Outcomes: Exploratory Post-Hoc Analyses From FIDELIO-DKD Compared to Reported CREDENCE Results
Nephrol Dial Transplant 2021;gfab336 doi: 10.1093/ndt/gfab366
Finerenone and canagliflozin reduce cardiorenal risk in patients who are albuminuric. This exploratory post-hoc analyses by Agarwal et al. investigated how differences in trial design influenced observed treatment effects in the FIDELIO-DKD and CREDENCE studies.
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
