Indication & Footnotes
JARDIANCE® is indicated for the treatment of adults and children aged 10 years and above for the treatment of insufficiently controlled type 2 diabetes mellitus as an adjunct to diet and exercise
as monotherapy when metformin is considered inappropriate due to intolerance
in addition to other medicinal products for the treatment of diabetes
JARDIANCE® is indicated in adults for the treatment of symptomatic chronic heart failure.
JARDIANCE® is indicated in adults for the treatment of chronic kidney disease.

In the EMPA-KIDNEY trial, a randomised, parallel-group, double-blind, placebo-controlled study of 6609 patients with CKD, the efficacy and safety profile of JARDIANCE® 10 mg (n=3304) was evaluated vs placebo (n=3305). The primary endpoint in the EMPA-KIDNEY trial was a composite of CV death or progression of kidney disease defined as end-stage kidney disease (the initiation of maintenance dialysis or receipt of a kidney transplant), a sustained decrease in the eGFR to <10 ml/min/1.73 m2, a sustained decrease in eGFR of ≥40% from baseline, or death from renal causes. Patients treated with JARDIANCE® experienced a 28% RRR in this endpoint (HR=0.72; 95% CI: 0.64, 0.82; p<0.001).2

In the EMPEROR-Reduced trial, a randomised, double-blind, parallel-group, placebo-controlled study of 3730 patients with HFrEF, the efficacy and safety profile of JARDIANCE® 10 mg (n=1863) was evaluated vs placebo (n=1867). Patients were adults with chronic heart failure (NYHA class II, III, or IV) and reduced ejection fraction (LVEF ≤ 40%). The primary endpoint in the EMPEROR-Reduced trial was a composite of CV death or HHF, analysed as time to the first event. Patients treated with JARDIANCE® experienced a 25% RRR in this endpoint (HR=0.75; 95% CI: 0.65, 0.86; p<0.001). In the EMPEROR-Preserved trial, a randomised, double-blind, parallel-group, placebo-controlled study of 5988 patients with HFpEF, the efficacy and safety profile of JARDIANCE® 10 mg (n=2997) was evaluated vs placebo (n=2991). Patients were adults with chronic heart failure (NYHA class II, III, or IV) and preserved ejection fraction (LVEF > 40%). The primary endpoint in the EMPEROR-Preserved trial was a composite of CV death or HHF, analysed as time to the first event. Patients treated with JARDIANCE® experienced a 21% RRR in this endpoint (HR=0.79; 95% CI: 0.69, 0.90; p<0.001).3,4

‡
The primary composite outcome in the EMPA-REG OUTCOME® trial was 3-point MACE, composed of death from CV causes, nonfatal MI, or nonfatal stroke, as analyzed in the pooled JARDIANCE® group vs the placebo group. Patients were adults with insufficiently controlled T2D and CAD, PAD, or a history of MI or stroke. The 14% RRR in 3-point MACE (HR=0.86; 95% CI: 0.74, 0.99; p<0.001 for noninferiority; p=0.04 for superiority) was driven by a reduction in the risk of CV death (HR=0.62; 95% CI: 0.49, 0.77).5

CV death was part of the composite primary endpoint, 3-point MACE, in the EMPA-REG OUTCOME® trial (HR=0.86; 95% CI: 0.74, 0.99; p<0.001 for noninferiority; p=0.04 for superiority) and 38% RRR in CV death was achieved in the overall EMPA-REG OUTCOME® population for the duration of the trial (HR=0.62; 95% CI: 0.49, 0.77; p<0.001).1,5

In addition to reducing the risk of CV death when added to the standard of care, JARDIANCE® also lowered HbA1c. In addition, JARDIANCE® demonstrated reduction in weight and blood pressure. JARDIANCE® is not indicated for weight loss or reduction of blood pressure.5
