AstraZeneca PLC (AZN.LN) said Monday that a phase 3 study of diabetes medication Farxiga showed the drug lowered the risk of kidney-function decline.

The data from the Declare-Timi 58 trial showed that patients with type-2 diabetes administered Farxiga showed a 47% reduction in the relative risk of the composite renal-specific outcome of kidney function decline--a measure of how well the kidney filters the blood--when compared with placebo.

Joris Silon, senior vice president of AstraZeneca's cardiovascular, renal and metabolism unit, said the data continues to support the consistent cardio-renal results demonstrated by Farxiga, across a large and broad everyday patient population.

The clinical trial first reported headline results in November.
