Inhibitors of renal sodium/glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) are new anti-hyperglycaemic
drugs that reduce proximal tubular glucose and sodium reabsorption. The Canagliflozin
Cardiovascular Assessment Study (CANVAS) Program is the second major trial to
demonstrate beneficial effects of SGLT2 inhibitors on the kidney and cardiovascular system
in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.
