Official title

A Phase III, Randomised, Double-blind Study to Evaluate the Effect of Balcinrenone/Dapagliflozin, Compared With Dapagliflozin, on the Risk of Heart Failure Events and Cardiovascular Death in Patients With Heart Failure and Impaired Kidney Function

Overview

This is a Phase III, international, multi-centre, randomised, double-blind, parallel-group, double-dummy, active-controlled, event-driven study in patients with chronic HF and impaired kidney function who had a recent HF event. The aim is to evaluate the effect of balcinrenone/dapagliflozin vs dapagliflozin, given once daily on top of other classes of SoC, on CV death and HF events.

Detailed description

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of balcinrenone/dapagliflozin compared with dapagliflozin, on the risk of CV death, HF event with and without hospitalisation, in patients with chronic HF, impaired kidney function, and who have had a recent HF event.

Eligible patients will randomly be assigned with a 1:1:1 ratio to receive once daily administration of one capsule and one tablet of one of the following treatments:

1. Balcinrenone/dapagliflozin 15 mg/10 mg capsule and matching placebo for dapagliflozin 10 mg tablet 2. Balcinrenone/dapagliflozin 40 mg/10 mg capsule and matching placebo for dapagliflozin 10 mg tablet 3. Dapagliflozin 10 mg tablet and matching placebo for balcinrenone/dapagliflozin capsule

The study is event driven, and the average study duration for a participant is estimated to be 22 months including screening period, 20 months blinded treatment period and a one-month follow-up period on open-label dapagliflozin.

The study will be conducted at approximately 700 sites in approximately 40 countries globally.

Interventions

  • Drug balcinrenone/dapagliflozin 15 mg/10 mg and matching placebo for dapagliflozin 10 mg
    1 capsule of balcinrenone/dapagliflozin 15 mg/10 mg and 1 tablet of matching placebo for dapagliflozin 10 mg once daily, oral use
  • Drug balcinrenone/dapagliflozin 40 mg/10 mg and matching placebo for dapagliflozin 10 mg
    1 capsule of balcinrenone/dapagliflozin 40 mg/10 mg and 1 tablet of matching placebo for dapagliflozin 10 mg once daily, oral use
  • Drug dapagliflozin 10 mg and matching placebo for balcinrenone/dapagliflozin
    1 tablet of dapagliflozin 10 mg and 1 capsule of matching placebo for balcinrenone/dapagliflozin once daily, oral use

Primary outcome measures

  • Time to first occurrence of any of the components of the composite of: •CV death •HF hospitalisation •HF event without hospitalisation [Time frame: Approximately 38 months]
Secondary outcome measures (5)
  • Total occurrences (first and recurrent) of the components of the composite of: •CV death •HF hospitalisation •HF event without hospitalisation [Time frame: Approximately 38 months]
  • Total occurrences (first and recurrent) of HF hospitalisations [Time frame: Approximately 38 months]
  • Time to CV death [Time frame: Approximately 38 months]
  • The hierarchical composite endpoint of death from any cause, total HF events, and change from baseline in KCCQ total symptom score to 24-week post-randomisation [Time frame: Approximately 24 weeks]
  • Time to death from any cause [Time frame: Approximately 38 months]
