Glomerular and Tubular Effects of Dapagliflozin, Eplerenone and their Combination in Patients with Chronic Kidney Disease: A Post-hoc Analysis of the ROTATE-3 Study
Diabetes Obes Metab. 2023; online ahead of print DOI: 10.1111/dom.15346
The ROTATE-3 cross-over trial in 46 adults with CKD and urinary albumin excretion ≥100 mg/24 h showed that dapagliflozin combined with eplerenone led to robust additive reductions in albuminuria compared with either agent alone. This post-hoc analysis aimed to characterise the effects of dapagliflozin, eplerenone and the combination on markers of glomerular and tubular function to better understand the mechanisms responsible for albuminuria lowering.

Albuminuria-Lowering Effect of Dapagliflozin, Eplerenone, and Their Combination in Patients With Chronic Kidney Disease: A Randomized Cross-Over Clinical Trial
J Am Soc Nephrol 2022; ahead of print doi:10.1681/ASN.2022020207
This trial demonstrates that the albuminuria-lowering effects of dapagliflozin and eplerenone alone are additive when used in combination. A larger trial in this population is required to confirm long-term efficacy and safety of combined sodium-glucose co-transporter-2 inhibitor (SGLT2i) and mineralocorticoid receptor antagonist (MRA) treatment, but this may support the idea that these classes have complementary nephroprotective effects.
