Endpoints

Primary endpoints

  • {"endpoint_text":"- Time to first occurrence of the primary composite outcome of: (i) Kidney disease progression (defined as kidney failure or a sustained decline of ≥40% in eGFR from randomization); or (ii) Hospitalization for heart failure; or (iii) Cardiovascular death.","definition_or_measurement_approach":"Composite time-to-event endpoint measured as time to first occurrence of any component: (i) Kidney disease progression defined as kidney failure or a sustained ≥40% decline in eGFR from randomization; (ii) hospitalization for heart failure; (iii) cardiovascular death."}

Secondary endpoints

  • {"endpoint_text":"- Annual rate of change in eGFR from 3 months until last scheduled visit (i.e. chronic eGFR slope)","definition_or_measurement_approach":"Annual rate of change in estimated glomerular filtration rate measured from month 3 until last scheduled visit (chronic eGFR slope)."}
  • {"endpoint_text":"- Time to first event of kidney failure, hospitalization for heart failure or cardiovascular death","definition_or_measurement_approach":"Time-to-first-event composite of kidney failure, hospitalization for heart failure, or cardiovascular death."}
  • {"endpoint_text":"- Time to kidney disease progression","definition_or_measurement_approach":"Time-to-event for kidney disease progression (as defined in protocol)."}
  • {"endpoint_text":"- Occurrences of hospitalizations for heart failure (first and any subsequent, combined) or cardiovascular death","definition_or_measurement_approach":"Counts/time-to-event analysis of hospitalizations for heart failure (first and subsequent combined) or cardiovascular death."}
