What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. To evaluate the effect of elecoglipron compared with placebo in reducing the risk of the composite of ≥ 50% sustained decline in eGFR, ESKD, or all-cause mortality

    Time to the first occurrence of any component of this composite: * ≥ 50% sustained decline in eGFR * ESKD defined as sustained eGFR \< 10 mL/min/1.73 m2, or Chronic dialysis treatment, or Receiving a renal transplant * All-cause mortality

    Time frame: Event-driven, trial is estimated to be up to 4.5 years

Secondary outcomes

  1. To evaluate the effect of elecoglipron compared with placebo in reducing the risk of the composite of ≥ 50% sustained decline in eGFR, ESKD, or CV and renal death

    Time to the first occurrence of any component of this composite: * ≥ 50% sustained decline in eGFR * ESKD defined as: Sustained eGFR \< 10 mL/min/1.73 m2, or Chronic dialysis treatment, or Receiving a renal transplant * CV and renal death

    Time frame: Event-driven, trial is estimated to be up to 4.5 years

  2. To evaluate the effect of elecoglipron compared with placebo in reducing the risk of composite of all-cause mortality, MI, or stroke

    Time to the first occurrence of any component of this composite: * All-cause mortality * MI * Stroke

    Time frame: Event-driven, trial is estimated to be up to 4.5 years

  3. To evaluate the effect of elecoglipron compared with placebo in reducing the risk of MACE (CV death, MI, or stroke)

    Time to the first occurrence of any component of this composite: * CV and renal death * MI * Stroke

    Time frame: Event-driven, trial is estimated to be up to 4.5 years

  4. To evaluate the effect of elecoglipron compared with placebo in reducing the risk of all-cause mortality

    Time to death from any cause

    Time frame: Event-driven, trial is estimated to be up to 4.5 years

  5. To evaluate the effect of elecoglipron compared with placebo in reducing the risk of CV death

    Time to death from CV cause

    Time frame: Event-driven, trial is estimated to be up to 4.5 years

  6. To evaluate the effect of elecoglipron compared with placebo in reducing the risk of the pure renal composite of ≥ 50% sustained decline in eGFR, ESKD, or renal death

    Time to the first occurrence of any component of this composite: * ≥ 50% sustained decline in eGFR * ESKD defined as Sustained eGFR \< 10 mL/min/1.73 m2, or Chronic dialysis treatment, or Receiving a renal transplant * Renal death

    Time frame: Event-driven, trial is estimated to be up to 4.5 years

  7. To evaluate the effect of elecoglipron compared with placebo in reducing the risk of CV death or HF hospitalizations

    Time to the first occurrence of any component of this composite: * CV death * HF hospitalizations (hHF)

    Time frame: Event-driven, trial is estimated to be up to 4.5 years

  8. To evaluate the effect of elecoglipron compared with placebo in reducing the risk of the composite endpoint of CV death, MI, stroke, or HF hospitalizations

    Time to first occurrence of any component of this composite: * CV death * MI * Stroke * HF hospitalizations (hHF)

    Time frame: Event-driven, trial is estimated to be up to 4.5 years

  9. To evaluate the effect of elecoglipron compared with placebo in reducing the risk of all-cause hospitalization

    Time to hospitalization for any cause

    Time frame: Event-driven, trial is estimated to be up to 4.5 years
