Zibotentan in Combination with Dapagliflozin Compared with Dapagliflozin in Patients with Chronic Kidney Disease (ZENITH-CKD): a Multicentre, Randomised, Active-controlled, Phase 2b, Clinical Trial
Lancet. 2023; online ahead of print DOI: 10.1016/S0140-6736(23)02230-4
The risk of kidney failure persists in many patients with CKD, even when receiving optimal treatment including SGLT2i. Increased expression of endothelin-1 may contribute to CKD progression through several pathophysiological effects; however, high doses of non-selective endothelin receptor antagonists (ERAs) have been linked with fluid retention.

Efficacy of Dapagliflozin by Baseline Diabetes Medications: A Prespecified Analysis From the DAPA-CKD Study
Diabetes Care. 2023; online ahead of print DOI: 10.2337/dc22-1514
Achieving optimal glucose control can be challenging in patients with T2D and CKD because impaired kidney function hampers the use of several oral or injectable glucose-lowering therapies (GLTs) and increases the likelihood of hypoglycaemia. This prespecified analysis from the DAPA-CKD trial evaluated whether the benefits of dapagliflozin in patients with T2D and CKD varied by background GLT number or class.
