Comparison of studies should be interpreted with caution due to differences in study design, populations and methodology. *Kidney safety refers to kidney safety investigated in a long-term randomised clinical trial with pre-specified, statistically powered, confirmatory tested for superiority, and adjudicated ‘hard’ kidney outcomes (e.g., composite of death due to kidney disease, progression to sustained ESKD or sustained eGFR decrease by ≥40%) in a population enriched for CKD (by specific CKD enrolment criteria).

Linagliptin is not indicated for the treatment of albuminuria . Because both the parallel confirmatory tests for superiority of the primary outcome (3P-MACE) and the key secondary outcome (composite kidney outcome) in the overall population were not significant ( p =0.74 and p =0.62 for superiority, respectively), all subsequent analyses and outcomes are considered exploratory.
