INVOKANA® (canagliflozin) protects against renal events in type 2 diabetes2

Prescribing Information can be found under Useful Links

Invokana®(canagliflozin) is indicated for the treatment of adults with insufficiently controlled type 2 diabetes mellitus as an adjunct to diet and exercise:

  • As monotherapy when metformin is considered inappropriate due to intolerance or contraindications
  • In addition to other medicinal products for the treatment of diabetes

For study results with respect to combination of therapies, effects on glycaemic control, cardiovascular and renal events, and the populations studied, please refer to section 4.4, 4.5 and 5.1 of the Invokana SmPC.

The addition of Invokana to standard of care resulted in significant reductions in diabetic kidney disease (DKD) progressions vs placebo 4,11


CANVAS Program5

The CANVAS Program consisted of two double-blind randomised trials, that assessed canagliflozin vs placebo in participants with T2D who were at high risk of CV events.

CREDENCE4

CREDENCE is the first study involving an SGLT2 inhibitor, dedicated to renal outcome patients with T2D.
