Thoughts on Jardiance EMPERIAL 6MWT Full Results
Here is a brief preview of this blast: Late last week, BI/Lilly announced full results from the EMPERIAL-Reduced and EMPERIAL-Preserved trials, evaluating Jardiance on exercise ability in patients with heart failure. Recall, in December 2019, BI/Lilly disclosed that both EMPERIAL trials failed to show a statistically significant improvement in the 6-minute walk test (previous FENIX insight). Full results of the studies were presented during the ESC HFA Discoveries program. Below, FENIX provides thoughts on the EMPERIAL trial results in the context of Novartis's Entresto 6MWT study as well as potential readthrough to AstraZeneca's DETERMINE studies.
