Boehringer Ingelheim and Eli Lilly Receives the Health Canada Marketing Authorization for Jardiance (empagliflozin) to Treat HFpEF

Shots:

  • The approval was based on the P-III (EMPEROR-Preserved) trial evaluating the safety & efficacy of Jardiance (10mg, qd) vs PBO in 5988 adults with chronic HFpEF
  • The results showed a 21% & 3.3% relative & absolute risk reduction for the composite 1EPs of CV death or hospitalization for HF & the benefit was generally consistent across LVEF subgroups based on the pooled EMPEROR studies. In key 2EPs analysis, 27% reduction in relative risk of first & recurrent hospitalizations for HF, breakthrough benefits for a widely underserved group
  • The approval marks the 1st approved treatment to improve outcomes of HF patients regardless of ejection fraction including HFrEF & HFpEF
