    On September 9, Eli Lilly/Boehringer Ingelheim announced that the FDA has granted Jardiance (Engliflozin) the breakthrough therapy qualification for the treatment of adult heart failure (HFpEF) patients with preserved ejection fraction


    The FDA's decision was mainly based on the results of a phase III trial code-named EMPEROR-Preserved


    The results showed that, compared with placebo, empagliflozin reduced the relative risk of the composite primary endpoint of cardiovascular death or hospitalization for heart failure in adult patients with HFpEF by 21%, and the benefit was not related to ejection fraction or diabetic status


    The efficacy of empagliflozin in the EMPEROR-Preserved study is similar to the results of the EMPEROR-Reduced study in patients with chronic heart failure (HFrEF) with reduced ejection fraction.


    Heart failure (HF) is a serious progressive disease that affects approximately 26 million people worldwide.
