Change from baseline to week 12 in exercise capacity as measured by the distance walked in 6 minutes in standardised conditions. If repeated 6MWT measurements were available for the same day, the longest distance was used for analysis. Change from baseline was defined as the distance walked in 6 minutes at week 12 minus the baseline value. Baseline value was defined as the last available measurement before start of treatment with randomised study medication. If a participant was present at the visit at week 12 but did not perform the 6MWT, the participant was evaluated as having walked a distance of 0 meter. If no value was available for week 12, an imputed value was used. Patients with missing week 12 data who had no clinical event were ranked below any patient with non-missing data, but above the patients who had clinical events. Patients who died before week 12 were ranked below the patients in all categories above.

Change from baseline in glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c) for full analysis set (FAS) (observed cases \[OC\]) is presented. With regards to efficacy and safety endpoints, the term 'baseline' referred to the last observed measurement prior to administration of any randomised trial medication. Least squares mean is adjusted mean change from baseline. Restricted maximum likelihood estimation based on mixed-effect model for repeated measures (MMRM) analysis was used to obtain adjusted means for the treatment effects.

Change from baseline in glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c) for modified intention-to-treat population set (mITT) (observed case - all data \[OC-AD\]) is presented.

Least squares mean is adjusted mean change from baseline.

Time to first occurrence of kidney disease progression (KDP) or cardiovascular death is reported as incidence rate of first occurrence of KDP or adjudicated cardiovascular death. Incidence rate= (Number of patients who experienced the event of first occurrence of KDP or cardiovascular death)\*100/(patient years at risk (pt-yrs at risk). pt-yrs at risk= sum of time at risk \[days\] over all patients in a treatment group / 365.25. Kidney disease progression was defined as: * end stage kidney disease (defined as the initiation of maintenance dialysis or receipt of a kidney transplant) OR * a sustained decline in estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) to \<10 mL/min/1.73m\^2 OR * renal death OR * a sustained decline of ≥40% in eGFR from randomisation.

Time to first occurrence of kidney disease progression (KDP) or cardiovascular death is reported as incidence of progression of kidney disease or death from cardiovascular causes in the interventional part of the trial and in the post-trial follow-up (non-interventional part). Incidence rate= (Number of patients who experienced the event of first occurrence of KDP or cardiovascular death)\*100/(patient years at risk (pt-yrs at risk). pt-yrs at risk= sum of time at risk \[days\] over all patients in a treatment group / 365.25. Kidney disease progression was defined as: * a sustained decline in eGFR to less than 10 mL/min/1.73m\^2 OR * renal death OR * sustained decline of more than 40% in eGFR from randomization.

The primary endpoint is the change in AUC1-4h for postprandial plasma glucose based on meal tolerance test from baseline after 28 days of treatment. Baseline refers to the last observation prior to administration of randomised study medication.

Change from baseline in HbA1c (%) at 24 weeks is presented. The term "baseline" refers to the last observation prior to randomisation of the patient. Means presented are the adjusted means. Restricted maximum likelihood (REML)-based mixed model repeated measures (MMRM) model is used in the statistical analysis.

The composite of time to first heart failure hospitalization or all-cause mortality is reported as the incidence rate of the first occurrence of hospitalization for heart failure (HHF) or death, whichever is earliest. The incidence rate was calculated as: the number of patients with an event for hospitalization for heart failure or death by treatment group during time at risk divided by the total time patients were at risk in that treatment group multiplied by 100 (per 100 Pt-years, Pt as abbreviation of patient).

Clinical benefit, a composite of death, number of HFEs, time to first HFE and change from baseline (CfB) in Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire-Total Symptom Score (KCCQ-TSS) after 90 days of treatment. All patients randomised to empagliflozin are compared to all patients randomised to placebo within strata. For any two patients, a patient will win, i.e. achieve a better clinical outcome, as determined by assessing the following criteria sequentially, stopping when an advantage for either patient is shown: 1. Death: death is worse than no death; earlier death is worse; tied if not possible to determine. 2. Number of HFEs: more HFEs is worse; tied, if same number of HFEs. 3. Time to first HFE: earlier HFE is worse; tied, if not possible to determine. 4. KCCQ-TSS CfB at Day 90: more positive CfB is better; the threshold for the difference is \>= 5 for a win; tied, if difference \< 5. The KCCQ-TSS ranges from 0 to 100, where a higher score reflects a better outcome. pct. = percentage

Time to the first event of adjudicated cardiovascular (CV) death or adjudicated hospitalisation for heart failure (HHF). The incidence rate per 100 patient years (100 \* number of patients with event /time at risk \[years\]) is presented. With time at risk \[year\] calculated as: Sum of time at risk \[days\] over all patients in a treatment group / 365.25. Patients without a specific endpoint event were censored at the last date the patient was known to be free of the event or at the end of the planned treatment period, whichever was earlier. Unit of Measure: Patients with events per 100 patient-years (pt-yrs) at risk.

Failure with preserved Ejection Fraction (HFpEF). The incidence rate per 100 patient years (pt-yrs) is presented and calculated as followed: Incidence rate per 100 pt-yrs = 100 \* number of patients with event / time at risk \[years\]. Time at risk \[years\] = Sum of time at risk \[days\] over all patients in a treatment group / 365.25. Patients without a specific endpoint event were censored at the last date the patient was known to be free of the event or at the end of the planned treatment period, whichever was earlier.

Change from baseline in 24 hour urinary glucose excretion on Day 7 calculated as: UGE on Day 7 - UGE on baseline. Baseline is defined as the last observation prior to the first intake of any randomised trial medication.

Change of urinary glucose excretion (UGE) (g/24 h) from baseline (refers to the last measurement prior to the first intake of any randomised trial medication) after seven days of treatment with empagliflozin 2.5 mg, 10 mg, or 25 mg, or placebo. The treatment effect was estimated on the basis of the least square mean treatment difference at Day 7 extracted from the primary analysis model. The primary endpoint is exploratory.
