Cardiovascular and renal outcomes with varying degrees of kidney disease in high‐risk people with type 2 diabetes: An epidemiological analysis of data from the AMPLITUDE‐O trial

Diabetes Obes MetabPublished Secondary analysis of the AMPLITUDE-O randomised trial

Authors' conclusion

In high-risk people with diabetes, eGFR, UACR, and KDIGO category have different relationships to incident cardiovascular and kidney outcomes. The beneficial effect of efpeglenatide on these outcomes is independent of kidney-related risk category.

Study context

Population
High-risk people with T2D in the AMPLITUDE-O trial with baseline estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) and urine albumin-to-creatinine ratio (UACR); mean age 64.5 years
Participants
3,983 people
Comparison
Lowest vs highest eGFR third; highest vs lowest UACR third; high- vs low-risk Kidney Disease Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO) categories
Primary endpoint
Incidence of MACE and a composite kidney outcome across eGFR and UACR levels; whether efpeglenatide's effect varies with these indices
Follow-up
Median 1.8 years
Methodological detailsepidemiological analysis
  • Epidemiological analysis

Primary result

As reported in the abstract

Lowest eGFR third vs Highest eGFR third
hazard (major adverse cardiovascular event (MACE)) 1.6 (95% CI 1.2–2.2)
Lowest eGFR third vs Highest eGFR third
hazard (kidney composite) 2.3 (95% CI 1.9–2.8)
Highest UACR third vs Lowest UACR third
hazard (MACE) 2.3 (95% CI 1.8–3.1)
Highest UACR third vs Lowest UACR third
hazard (kidney composite) 18.0 (95% CI 12.7–25.5)
High-risk KDIGO category vs Low-risk KDIGO category
hazard (MACE) 2.4 (95% CI 1.8–3.1)
High-risk KDIGO category vs Low-risk KDIGO category
hazard (kidney composite) 16.0 (95% CI 11.6–22.0)

Further findings

Efpeglenatide effect on MACE and kidney composite by kidney disease measure

Efpeglenatide's effect on both outcomes did not vary with any kidney disease measure
all interaction p values ≥0.26
