Trial Outcomes & Findings for A Study of BMS-512148 (Dapagliflozin) in Patients With Type 2 Diabetes and Inadequately Controlled Hypertension on an Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme Inhibitor or Angiotensin Receptor Blocker (NCT NCT01137474)

This study was originally designed with 2 additional double-blind treatment arms, dapagliflozin 2.5 and 5 mg, but randomization of new patients into these arms stopped with implementation of Protocol Amendment 8 on 1-11-11. Patients randomized to dapagliflozin 2.5 or 5 mg remained on their blinded medication until study completion.

Of 2996 participants enrolled, 944 were randomized and received double-blind treatment.

Seated BP was to be measured at every visit. Data after rescue medication was excluded. The patient first rested for at least 10 minutes in the seated position. Seated blood BP was determined from the mean of 3 replicated measurements obtained at least 1 minute apart. However, if the 3 consecutive seated BP readings were not within 8 mm Hg of each other, an additional 2 BP readings were to be obtained (total=5) and incorporated into the calculated mean for systolic BP and diastolic BP. For the initial BP recording, BP was measured in both arms. If the BP was higher in 1 arm, that arm was used for BP measurement. If there was no difference in BP measurements between arms, the dominant arm was used for all future BP measurements. All randomized participants who received at least 1 dose of study drug and who had nonmissing baseline and at least 1 postbaseline value during the double-blind treatment period were used for analysis. SD=standard deviation.

HbA1c was measured as percent of hemoglobin by a central laboratory. All randomized participants who received at least 1 dose of study drug and who had nonmissing baseline and at least 1 postbaseline value during the double-blind treatment period were used for analysis. SD=standard deviation.

Ambulatory blood pressure monitoring was performed twice during the study, at baseline and at the end of study, for a duration of 24-hrs each time. If the patient met the criteria for rescue due to hypertension, a second monitoring was performed prior to the first dose of rescue medication. Initiation of the 24-hr ambulatory blood pressure monitoring began between 6 and 11 am to ensure trough blood pressure measurements were obtained. Patients were instructed to withhold all medication on the morning of the study visit and to bring their medications to the visit with them.

Central laboratory serum uric acid levels will be determined at the Enrollment, Day -28, Day 1, and at Week 4, 8, 12, and 13 visits. All randomized participants who received at least 1 dose of study drug and who had nonmissing baseline and at least 1 postbaseline value during the double-blind treatment period were used for analysis.
