Chronic Kidney Disease – Unmet Need – Chronic Kidney Disease | Unmet Need | US/EU

Because of the lack of disease-modifying agents for CKD, treatment is aimed at minimizing the symptoms and complications arising from progressively diminished kidney function and treating the cause of impaired kidney function. This content specifically explores therapies that aim to halt the progressive decline in kidney function and lower the risk of adverse outcomes such as ESRD, cardiovascular, or renal death. A growing body of evidence shows that SGLT-2 inhibitors benefit CKD patients. This report examines the performance of key SGLT-2 inhibitor brands and remaining unmet need in a difficult-to-treat and highly prevalent disease.

QUESTIONS ANSWERED

• How do nephrologists rate SGLT-2 inhibitors, diuretics, and RAAS inhibitors on selected renal endpoints?
• Which attribute has the greatest unmet need: preservation of eGFR or reduction in the risk of progression to ESRD?
• How do drug attributes such as risk of MACE and drug price influence prescribing preference?
• Do U.S. and European nephrologists have different perceptions of unmet need in the treatment of CKD?
• What trade-offs across different clinical attributes and price are acceptable to U.S. and European nephrologists for a hypothetical new CKD drug?
