CREDENCE – Additional Information if Required During Interview
• July 16, 2018 - Janssen announced that the Phase 3 CREDENCE (Canagliflozin and Renal Events in Diabetes with
Established Nephropathy Clinical Evaluation) clinical trial, evaluating the efficacy and safety of INVOKANA®
(canagliflozin) versus placebo when used in addition to standard of care for patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD)
and type 2 diabetes (T2D), is being stopped early based on the achievement of pre-specified efficacy criteria.
• The decision is based on a recommendation from the study's Independent Data Monitoring Committee (IDMC) that met
to review the data during a planned interim analysis. This recommendation was based on demonstration of efficacy,
as the trial had achieved pre-specified criteria for the primary composite endpoint of end-stage kidney disease
(time to dialysis or kidney transplantation), doubling of serum creatinine, and renal or cardiovascular (CV) death,
when used in addition to standard of care.

EASD treatment guidelines for T2D (simplified)
Current EASD treatment guidelines of T2D recommend multiple
therapies to achieve optimal HbA1C target
Lifestyle - healthy eating, weight control, physician activity, diabetes education
Monotherapy Dual therapy
Combination
therapy
Triple therapy
Metformin
If HbA1C target not achieved after 3 months of previous treatment line, proceed to next category
Metformin
Insulin (basal) or
choice of 1 drug
from non-insulin
T2D
medications*
Metformin
Insulin (basal) or
choice of 1 drug
from non-insulin
T2D medications*
Basal insulin
Other drug from
non-insulin T2D
medications or
(basal) insulin
Metformin
Meal-time insulin
or GLP-1
* Non-insulin T2D drug classes: No specific preference - choice dependent on a variety of patient- and disease-specific factors):
Sulfonylureas (SU); Thiazolidinedione (TZD); DPP4-i Inhibitors (DPP4-i); SGLT-2 Inhibitors (SGLT-2); GLP-1 Agonists (GLP-1)
Key takeaways
• New EASD guidelines expected in
2018
• EASD considers interval of 3
months before switching to a
different line of therapy
• Metformin is recommended
across all lines of therapy

redGDPS treatment guidelines for T2D (simplified)
Spanish treatment guidelines are released at regional level,
therefore T2D treatment can vary among relevant physicians
Lifestyle - healthy eating, weight control, physician activity, diabetes education
Monotherapy Dual therapy
Triple comb./
Insulin therapy
Metformin
Key takeaways
• In addition to regional guidelines,
medical experts have joined
together to release a guideline
and treatment recommendation
for physicians across Spain
• Spanish redGDPS treatment
algorithm separates T2D patients
by HbA1c score into three groups
• Patients suffering from HbA1c
scores >10% are considered to be
directly treated with a dual therapy
and therefore skip mono
metformin therapy
