Dapagliflozin use in chronic kidney disease (OPTIMISE-CKD)

A Multinational, Observational, Retrospective, Secondary Data Study Analyzing Dapagliflozin Effectiveness in Routine Clinical Practice Among Patients With Chronic Kidney Disease. Local Adaptation for Spain. Part 2

Observational AstraZeneca · NCT07450820

This retrospective study uses electronic health records to see how Dapagliflozin is being used and what the burden of chronic kidney disease looks like before and after reimbursement in adults with CKD.

What this trial studies

OPTIMISE-CKD is a retrospective, observational analysis using secondary electronic health record data from August 2020 to November 2024 to characterize Dapagliflozin utilization and the burden of chronic kidney disease. The study compares two cohorts defined by pre- and post-reimbursement periods for Dapagliflozin across a 39-month observation window. Eligible adults must meet CKD laboratory or diagnostic-code criteria and have at least 12 months of continuous data before and after an index date, with exclusion of type 1 diabetes and gestational diabetes. Analyses focus on describing utilization patterns, incident CKD patient characteristics, and disease burden rather than testing clinical efficacy.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Adults aged 18 or older with CKD defined by repeated reduced eGFR or elevated proteinuria/UACR who have at least 12 months of continuous EHR enrollment before and after the index date and no type 1 or gestational diabetes.

Not a fit: Patients without the required continuous EHR data, those with type 1 diabetes or gestational diabetes, or those lacking necessary laboratory or diagnostic records are excluded and unlikely to benefit from this analysis.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, the findings could help clinicians and health systems understand real-world Dapagliflozin use and guide prescribing, reimbursement decisions, and resource planning for people with CKD.

How similar studies have performed: Randomized trials such as DAPA-CKD have shown clinical benefit of dapagliflozin in CKD and some observational work has characterized real-world use, but comprehensive pre/post-reimbursement EHR analyses are less common.
