BACKGROUNDIn the EMPA-KIDNEY trial, empagliflozin, a sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitor, had positive cardiorenal effects in patients with chronic kidney disease who were at risk for disease progression. Post-trial follow-up was designed to assess how the effects of empagliflozin would evolve after the discontinuation of the trial drug.METHODSIn the active trial, patients with chronic kidney disease were randomly assigned to receive either empagliflozin (10 mg once daily) or matching placebo and were followed for a median of 2 years. All the patients had an estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) of at least 20 but less than 45 ml per minute per 1.73 m2 of body-surface area or an eGFR of at least 45 but less than 90 ml per minute per 1.73 m2 with a urinary albumin-to-creatinine ratio (with albumin measured in milligrams and creatinine measured in grams) of at least 200. Subsequently, surviving patients who consented were observed for 2 additional years. No trial empagliflozin or placebo was administered during the post-trial period, but local practitioners could prescribe open-label SGLT2 inhibitors, including open-label empagliflozin. The primary composite outcome was kidney disease progression or cardiovascular death as assessed from the start of the active-trial period to the end of the post-trial period.RESULTSOf the 6609 patients who had undergone randomization in the active trial, 4891 (74%) were enrolled in the post-trial period. During this period, the use of open-label SGLT2 inhibitors was similar in the two groups (43% in the empagliflozin group and 40% in the placebo group). During the combined active- and post-trial periods, a primary-outcome event occurred in 865 of 3304 patients (26.2%) in the empagliflozin group and in 1001 of 3305 patients (30.3%) in the placebo group (hazard ratio, 0.79; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.72 to 0.87). During the post-trial period only, the hazard ratio for a primary-outcome event was 0.87 (95% CI, 0.76 to 0.99). During the combined periods, the risk of kidney disease progression was 23.5% in the empagliflozin group and 27.1% in the placebo group; the risk of the composite of death or end-stage kidney disease was 16.9% and 19.6%, respectively; and the risk of cardiovascular death was 3.8% and 4.9%, respectively. There was no effect of empagliflozin on death from noncardiovascular causes (5.3% in both groups).CONCLUSIONSIn a broad range of patients with chronic kidney disease at risk for progression, empagliflozin continued to have additional cardiorenal benefits for up to 12 months after it was discontinued.

BACKGROUNDThe alternative complement pathway plays a key role in the pathogenesis of IgA nephropathy. Iptacopan specifically binds to factor B and inhibits the alternative pathway.METHODSIn this phase 3, double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled trial, we enrolled adults with biopsy-confirmed IgA nephropathy and proteinuria (defined as a 24-hour urinary protein-to-creatinine ratio of ≥1 [with protein and creatinine both measured in grams]) despite optimized supportive therapy. Patients were randomly assigned, in a 1:1 ratio, to receive oral iptacopan (200 mg) or placebo twice daily for 24 months while continuing to receive supportive therapy. The primary objective of this prespecified interim analysis was to assess the efficacy of iptacopan as compared with that of placebo in reducing proteinuria at month 9; the primary end point was the change from baseline in the 24-hour urinary protein-to-creatinine ratio at month 9. The proportion of patients who had a 24-hour urinary protein-to-creatinine ratio of less than 1 at month 9 without receiving rescue or alternative medication or undergoing kidney-replacement therapy (dialysis or transplantation) was a secondary end point. Safety was also assessed. The effect of iptacopan on kidney function will be assessed at the end of the 2-year double-blind treatment period.RESULTSThe main trial population included 222 patients in the iptacopan group and 221 in the placebo group. The interim efficacy analysis included the first 250 patients who underwent randomization in the main trial population (125 patients in each group) and who remained in the trial until month 9 or discontinued the trial by month 9. Safety was assessed in all the patients in the main trial population. At month 9, the adjusted geometric mean 24-hour urinary protein-to-creatinine ratio was 38.3% (95% confidence interval, 26.0 to 48.6; two-sided P<0.001) lower with iptacopan than with placebo. The reduction in proteinuria was supported by consistent results in secondary end point analyses. There were no unexpected safety findings with iptacopan. The incidence of adverse events that occurred during the treatment period was similar in the two groups; most events were mild to moderate in severity and reversible. No increased risk of infection was observed.CONCLUSIONSAmong patients with IgA nephropathy, treatment with iptacopan resulted in a significant and clinically meaningful reduction in proteinuria as compared with placebo.
