Boehringer Ingelheim and Eli Lilly (NYSE: LLY) have released positive initial results from the real-world EMPRISE study examining cardiovascular outcomes related to Jardiance (empagliflozin).
The study shows treatment with Jardiance was associated with a 44% relative risk reduction in hospitalization for heart failure (HHF), compared with dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitors.
The study looked at around 35,000 people with type 2 diabetes, and support findings from the EMPA-REG OUTCOME trial, which showed a 35% relative risk reduction in HHF compared with placebo, when added to standard of care.
