Forxiga (dapagliflozin) is an SGLT2i recommended by NICE for the treatment of CKD1

The approval of dapagliflozin for the treatment of chronic kidney disease was a significant advancement in CKD in more than 20 years.3,4 Dapagliflozin provides a once daily oral treatment for patients with CKD on top of standard of care therapy (angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor [ACEi] or angiotensin receptor blocker [ARB])2
CKD is a progressive disease that significantly impacts quality of life and increases the risk of:5
Poor cardiovascular (CV) and renal outcomes
Premature death
Heart Failure
Early intervention is important
CKD leads to a gradual loss of kidney function, and can influence the progression of type 2 diabetes (T2D) and heart failure (HF), worsening overall prognosis5-9
On top of SoC vs placebo, in people with CKD with and without T2D, FORXIGA reduces the composite risk of:2*
7.2 million
people were living with CKD in the United Kingdom (UK) in 202210
~45,000
premature deaths occur every year in individuals with CKD in the UK5
£6.4 billion
is the estimated cost of kidney disease to the NHS in 202310
Almost 50%
of all CKD-related hospitalisations are accounted for by frequently-hospitalised non-dialysis patients, of which most cases are attributed to HF and hyperkalemia11
39 more
unplanned hospital admissions occur annually per 100 patients with Stage 4 vs. Stage 3 CKD12
12 more
patients die annually per 100 patients with Stage 4 vs. Stage 3 CKD12
DAPA-CKD was a landmark study that investigated the use of dapagliflozin in the treatment of chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients, with or without type 2 diabetes (T2D)2
DAPA-CKD was a randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multicentre clinical trial in patients with CKD, to determine the long-term efficacy and safety of the SGLT-2i FORXIGA (dapagliflozin) in patients, with and without T2D, on top of standard care2,10

FORXIGA (dapagliflozin) reduces the risk of the composite of declining kidney function, ESKD and renal or CV death on top of standard of care compared with placebo2,13
Cumulative incidence of sustained decline in the eGFR of at least 50%, ESKD, or death from CV or renal causes in patients with CKD, with or without type 2 diabetes (T2D)2,14
Adapted from Heerspink et al. 2020
Prespecified analysis: There were fewer events of declining kidney function, ESKD, and renal or CV death with FORXIGA 10 mg compared with placebo2
Cumulative incidence of the composite of a sustained decline in eGFR of at least 50%, ESKD, or death from renal causes in patients with or without type 2 diabetes (T2D), shown first in patients with no history of HF and then shown in patients with HF15

FORXIGA (dapagliflozin) in CKD treatment guidelines
FORXIGA is recommended for the management of chronic kidney disease (CKD) by a number of major guidelines and treatment recommendations
National guidelines (UKKA, NICE and ABCD) recommend FORXIGA (dapagliflozin) for the management of CKD in patients with or without type 2 diabetes (T2D)1,16-20
Dose adjustments are not required based on renal function
Forxiga (dapagliflozin) offers simple, once daily dosing11 across the range of eGFR.
In patients with severe hepatic impairment, a starting dose of 5 mg is recommended. If well tolerated, the dose may be increased to 10 mg.
There is limited experience with initiating FORXIGA (dapagliflozin) treatment in patients with eGFR <25 mL/min/1.73m2, and no experience in patients with eGFR <15 mL/min/1.73m2. Therefore, it is not recommended to initiate treatment in patients with eGFR <15 mL/min/1.73m2
