Diabetic Nephropathy | Treatment Algorithms: Claims Data Analysis | US | 2021

Diabetic nephropathy (DN), also referred to as diabetic kidney disease, is a common complication of diabetes. The DN drug market comprises a wide variety of antidiabetic and antihypertensive drugs intended to halt the progression of kidney damage associated with diabetes. By demonstrating a significant reduction in the relative risk of a renal-specific composite endpoint, Invokana became the first antidiabetic drug to demonstrate a renoprotective effect in a dedicated renal outcomes trial. The SGLT-2 inhibitor has opened the door for this drug class to be used to lower eGFR limits, potentially shifting treatment patterns in this market. Bayer’s Kerendia, a first-in-class mineralocorticoid receptor antagonist, was recently approved by the FDA to slow the progression of DN.
