aComorbidities included hypertension, abnormal levels of lipid, obstructive sleep apnea, or CV disease.
bKellgren-Lawrence grade 2 of 3 confirmed by central reading at screening.
cComorbidities included high blood pressure, abnormal levels of lipid, obstructive sleep apnea, or heart disease.
dIf patient has T2D, their HbA1c must be ≤10%.
eASCVD as evidenced by one of the following: coronary artery disease, cerebrovascular disease, or PAD.
fCKD was defined as eGFR <45 mL/min/1.73 m2 and UACR >30 mg/g, eGFR <60 mL/min/1.73 m2 and UACR >100 mg/g, or eGFR <75 mL/min/1.73 m2 and UACR >300 mg/g (eGFR is calculated by central lab based on CKD-EPI creatinine-cystatin C equation).
gA composite endpoint includes nonfatal MI, nonfatal stroke, CV death, or hospitalization or urgent visit due to HF.
hESKD is defined as the following individual components: persistent eGFR <15 mL/min/1.73 m2 confirmed by 2 measurements at least 4 weeks apart, initiation of dialysis for at least 30 days, or receiving a kidney transplant.
iSustained decline in eGFR (≥40%) will be confirmed by a repeated measure at least 4 weeks after the first result.
