Canagliflozin and Cardiovascular and Renal Outcomes in Type 2 Diabetes and Chronic Kidney Disease in Primary and Secondary Cardiovascular Prevention Groups: Results from the Randomized CREDENCE Trial.
CONCLUSIONS: Canagliflozin significantly reduced major cardiovascular events, as well as kidney failure, in patients with type 2 diabetes and chronic kidney disease, including in participants who did not have prior cardiovascular disease.

Cardiovascular and Renal Outcomes With Canagliflozin According to Baseline Kidney Function: Data from the CANVAS Program.
Conclusions : The effect of canagliflozin on cardiovascular and renal outcomes was not modified by baseline level of kidney function in people with type 2 diabetes and a history or high risk of cardiovascular disease down to eGFR levels of 30 mL/min/1.73 m2 Reassessing current limitations on the use of canagliflozin in CKD may allow additional individuals to benefit from this therapy.

Cardiovascular Outcomes and Risks After Initiation of a Sodium Glucose Co-Transporter 2 Inhibitor: Results From the EASEL Population-Based Cohort Study.
Conclusions : In this high-risk cohort, initiation of SGLT2i was associated with lower ACM, HHF, and MACE and higher BKA risk. Findings underscore the potential benefit and risks to be aware of when initiating SGLT2i. It remains unclear whether the BKA risk extends across the class of medication as the study was not powered to make comparisons among individual treatments.

Canagliflozin for Primary and Secondary Prevention of Cardiovascular Events: Results From the CANVAS Program (Canagliflozin Cardiovascular Assessment Study).
CONCLUSIONS : Patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus and prior cardiovascular events had higher rates of cardiovascular outcomes compared with the primary prevention patients. Canagliflozin reduced cardiovascular and renal outcomes with no statistical evidence of heterogeneity of the treatment effect across the primary and secondary prevention groups. Additional studies will provide further insights into the effects of canagliflozin in these patient populations. CLINICAL TRIAL REGISTRATION : URL: https://www.clinicaltrials.gov.

Sodium Glucose Cotransporter 2 Inhibitors in the Treatment of Diabetes: Cardiovascular and Kidney Effects, Potential Mechanisms and Clinical Applications.
Abstract Sodium glucose co-transporter-2 (SGLT2) inhibitors, including empagliflozin, dapagliflozin and canagliflozin, are now widely approved anti-hyperglycemic therapies. Due to their unique glycosuric mechanism, SGLT2 inhibitors also reduce weight. Perhaps more importantly are osmotic diuretic and natriuretic effects contributing to plasma volume contraction, and decreases in systolic and diastolic blood pressures (BP) by 4-6/1-2 mmHg, respectively, which may underlie cardiovascular and kidney benefits. SGLT2 inhibition is also associated with an acute, dose-dependent reduction in eGFR by ~5 ml/min/1.73m(2) and...
