DAPA-HF: Dapagliflozin And Prevention of Adverse-

outcomes in Heart Failure Trial

Log No: FOR0919001 Expiry Date: 09/2020


© AstraZeneca 2019
Introduction
• In the DECLARE-TIMI 58 trial, DAPA was shown to reduce the risk of hHF compared with placebo in patients
with T2D, irrespective of the presence of HF history; only 10% of patients in DECLARE had a HF history. 1
• In the patients with HFrEF and T2D from a prespecified subgroup analysis, dapagliflozin not only reduced
hospitalization for HF but also CV death and all-cause mortality; these benefits with dapagliflozin appeared early in the
patients with HFrEF.2

• Based on current available data, the CV protective mechanisms of the SGLT2 inhibitors are believed to be
independent of glycemic control in patients with T2D3,4 and may be applicable to both patients with or without
T2D.
• In PK/PD studies in volunteers without T2D, dapagliflozin led to glucosuria and increased renal sodium excretion
suggesting biological activity in patients without T2D. 5,6

• The DAPA-HF trial is the first HF outcome study to report results with an SGLT2 inhibitor – dapagliflozin – in
addition to standard of care for the treatment of HFrEF in patients with or without T2D. 7,8
• The population enrolled in DAPA-HF is representative of patients in clinical practice, as evidenced by HF
CV registry data, and similar HF to =patients

Unmet Need in Patients with Heart Failure

patients worldwide are affected by heart failure and


~64 prevalence is expected to increase with the aging
million
population1,2

• Heart failure morbidity and mortality remain high, and are comparable to some of the most
common cancers, despite advances in therapy.5
• Patients with T2D have ~2.5-fold greater risk of developing HF than patients without
diabetes.8 Prevalence of T2D in patients with chronic HF is ~30%.9

Overall HF represents a substantial global burden with significant unmet needs in terms of morbidity and
mortality.3-7

DAPA-HF Summary
• DAPA-HF is the first heart failure outcomes trial with an SGLT2 inhibitor investigating the treatment of HF
in adults with HFrEF on top of standard of care (which includes medicines such as ACE-I, ARB, β-
blockers, MRA, and ARNI) in patients with and without T2D.1
• Dapagliflozin provided a statistically-significant and clinically meaningful reduction in the risk of
worsening heart failure events and cardiovascular death when compared to placebo, as well as
improvement in heart failure symptoms, when added to standard therapy. 1,2
• The safety findings of DAPA-HF were consistent with the well-established safety profile of dapagliflozin
and the rate of discontinuation was low.1,2

ACE-I = angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor; ARB = angiotensin II receptor blocker; ARNI = angiotensin receptor-neprilysin Inhibitor; β-blockers = beta-blockers; CV = cardiovascular; HF = heart failure; HFrEF = heart failure with reduced
ejection fraction; MRA = mineralocorticoid receptor antagonist; SGLT2 = sodium-glucose cotransporter 2; T2D = type 2 diabetes.

DAPA-HF Population Compared to HFrEF Registries and
Trials

© AstraZeneca 2019
DAPA-HF Compared with HF Registries and Trials
• DAPA-HF study design is a representation of the real-world heart failure population
• Patients in DAPA-HF were also generally similar to those in recent HF trials with globally diverse enrollment
(particularly PARADIGM-HF and ATMOSPHERE)
• In DAPA-HF, 11% of patients were treated with the angiotensin receptor–neprilysin inhibitor combination,
sacubitril/valsartan, a finding consistent with the 13% receiving this therapy in the recent CHAMP-HF registry
• Identical rates of use of all key HFrEF therapies in patients with and without diabetes
– In DAPA-HF, the use of ACE inhibitors, ARBs and MRAs was as high in other patient subgroups, findings which were consistent with
reports from PARADIGM-HF, SHIFT and the ESC Long-Term Registry
– Consistent with other HF studies, patients with a history of T2D in the DAPA-HF trial were treated with oral glucose-lowering therapy
(oral therapy only in 53%), insulin (insulin alone in 12%) or both (15%), with 20% of patients receiving no glucose-lowering therapy

• DAPA-HF has enrolled patients with and without diabetes who have persisting symptoms, a reduced LVEF and an
elevated NT-proBNP level, who are similar to those enrolled in contemporary HFrEF registries and randomized in other
recent HFrEF trials

ACE = angiotensin-converting enzyme; ARB = angiotensin-receptor blocker; HF = heart failure; HFrEF = heart failure with reduced ejection fraction; LVEF = left ventricular ejection
fraction; MRA = mineralocorticoid receptor antagonist; NT pro-BNP = N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide.
