Empa T1DM Adcom Could Be Easier Than Sota, But Still Difficult; Briefing Documents Analysis
Here is a brief preview of this blast: Briefing documents for the BI/Lilly empagliflozin T1DM FDA adcom were posted today in advance of the November 13, 2019 meeting. Interestingly, BI/Lilly is only pursuing approval for the low, 2.5mg dose of empagliflozin, which demonstrated less DKA but also lower efficacy. Questions around the 2.5mg dose and its limited clinical data are likely to be the center of the adcom discussion. Below, FENIX provides thoughts on the empa T1DM adcom including analysis of the benefit/risk ratio, proposed risk mitigation strategy, and adcom panelists (9 of whom were also on the sota adcom).
