Does ertugliflozin improve kidney outcomes in patients with heart failure at baseline?
p-value: p=0.22
Ertugliflozin provides consistent kidney benefits in patients regardless of baseline heart failure status.
Cherney et al. (2023) conducted an RCT in Heart Failure. Ertugliflozin was evaluated on Estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) over time, total 5-year eGFR slopes and time to first event of a prespecified exploratory kidney composite outcome (p=0.22). The beneficial effects of ertugliflozin on kidney outcomes did not differ when stratified by baseline heart failure status (P=0.22).
