研究概览
简要总结
This is the first long-term study evaluating the efficacy and safety of the combination of balcinrenone and dapagliflozin in patients with HF and impaired kidney function.
The primary hypothesis of the study is that balcinrenone/dapagliflozin (either 15 mg/10 mg or 40 mg/10 mg, once daily) compared with dapagliflozin 10 mg will reduce the risk of CV death, and HF event with and without hospitalisation in adults with chronic HF and impaired kidney function. The selection and adjudication of the primary and secondary endpoints are consistent with the standard for HF outcome studies (Abraham et al 2020).
The primary objective will be addressed by the intention-to-treat principle (ICH-E9(R1) 2019), which assesses differences in outcomes between treatment groups over the period from randomisation until the PACD to reflect the effect of the initially assigned randomised IMP, irrespective of concomitant treatment, or discontinuation of IMP, and in the absence of death due to non-CV causes, withdrawal of consent, and lost-to-follow-up.
The study will evaluate general safety and tolerability of balcinrenone/dapagliflozin compared with dapagliflozin with special attention to hyperkalaemia, renal events/AKI, and hypotension. The visit frequency and safety monitoring are aligned with recommendations when initiating MRAs and dapagliflozin (McDonagh et al 2021).

Fasting is defined as no caloric intake for at least 4 hours prior to the collection of the sample. Participants must avoid grapefruit and grapefruit juice consumption during the study in order to avoid CYP3A4 inhibition. There are no other specific meals and dietary restrictions, however, participants should receive lifestyle advice according to local guidelines as considered relevant for the individual participant based on their medical conditions (eg, T2DM, hypertension, kidney impairment). 1.1.2 Restrictions During the Study Participants will be asked not to take their IMPs at home on the day of study visits (except Visit 3). After completing all pre-dose procedures, provided the participant is permitted to continue in the study following assessments, he/she will take the IMP at the site. Participants should be instructed to contact the site in case of signs of acute illnesses that may increase risk of hyperkalaemia or acute kidney injury (eg, fever, vomiting, diarrhoea, malaise, and/or dehydration). Additional medical check-up and safety samples to be requested at the discretion of the Investigator. Participants with diabetes who experience rapid onset of fatigue, abdominal pain, severe thirst, shortness of breath, and/or vomiting should be instructed to hold IMP until DKA has been ruled out.
