EMPEROR-Preserved Creates a Multitude of Complex Implications

Today, BI/Lilly presented positive full results from EMPEROR-Preserved, the heart failure outcomes trial (HFOT) for Jardiance in HFpEF. While the 21% relative risk reduction augmented the clinical utility of SGLT2i in HF, the lack of benefit in patients with a LVEF ≥60% was very surprising and opens up a multitude of implications and opportunities across CV medicine. Below, FENIX provides highlights, insights, and implications from EMPEROR-Preserved that are sure to make 2022 another dynamic year for the CV global landscape.

EMPEROR-Reduced Label Analysis

Last week, FDA approved Jardiance for the treatment of HFrEF (view updated Jardiance label here; previous FENIX insight). The approval was based on results from the EMPEROR-Reduced CVOT which was first presented at ESC 2020; previous FENIX insight). As a reminder, BI/Lilly will be presenting full results from EMPEROR-Preserved as a Hot Line session at ESC 2021 on August 27 at 11:25AM ET (view ESC session). Recall, in July 2021, BI/Lilly announced positive topline results from the Ph3 EMPEROR-Preserved trial, but it did not provide any information on the magnitude of effect (previous FENIX insight). Below, FENIX provides thoughts on the new Jardiance HFrEF indication, including a favors/disfavors analysis for the HF market.

Jardiance EMPEROR-Reduced Approved by FDA

BI/Lilly announced Jardiance received FDA approval for the treatment of HFrEF based on results from the EMPEROR-Reduced CVOT. The indication from the updated label reads “to reduce the risk of cardiovascular death plus hospitalization for heart failure in adults with heart failure and reduced ejection fraction.” Of note, the approval comes ~3 weeks ahead of the projected PDUFA date (September 9, 2021). In June 2021, BI/Lilly received EC marketing authorization for Jardiance as a treatment for adults with symptomatic chronic HFrEF.

Jardiance Positive HFpEF Topline Results (EMPEROR-Preserved)
