Published in 2020, the Dapagliflozin in Chronic Kidney Disease (DAPA-CKD) randomized 4,304 patients with CKD (defined by eGFR of 25 to 75 and albuminuria with ACR of 200 to 5000 mg/g) with and without T2DM to dapagliflozin or placebo. The study was halted early after an interim safety analysis found evidence of benefit as dapagliflozin was found to reduce the composite endpoint of decline of ≥50% in eGFR, new ESRD, renal mortality, or CVD mortality (9.2% vs. 14.5%; HR 0.61; 95% CI 0.51-0.72; NNT=19). Importantly, this benefit was similar regardless of T2DM status. The medication was also associated with reduction in other endpoints, including all-cause mortality (4.7% vs. 6.8%; 0.69; 0.53-0.88; NNT=48). There was a slightly higher risk of major hypoglycemia (0.7% vs. 1.3%; P=0.04; NNH=166) with dapagliflozin use.

Suppose a one sided test for a proportion resulted in a p-value of 0.06. What would the p-value be if the test were two tail test? Select one: A. It would still be 0.06. B. It would be 0.3. C. It would be 0.12. D. There is no way to calculate this without completely redoing the original test with a new alternative hypothesis.
