The Medical Letter on Drugs and Therapeutics • November 13, 2023;  (Issue 1689)
The sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitor empagliflozin (Jardiance – Boehringer Ingelheim/Lilly) is now FDA-approved to reduce the risk of sustained eGFR decline, end-stage kidney...
The sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitor empagliflozin (Jardiance – Boehringer Ingelheim/Lilly) is now FDA-approved to reduce the risk of sustained eGFR decline, end-stage kidney disease, cardiovascular death, and hospitalization in adults with chronic kidney disease (CKD) at risk of progression. It is also approved to improve glycemic control in patients ≥10 years old with type 2 diabetes, to reduce the risk of cardiovascular death and hospitalization for heart failure (HF) in adults with HF, and to reduce the risk of cardiovascular death in adults with type 2 diabetes and established cardiovascular disease.

Sotagliflozin (Inpefa) for Heart Failure

   
The Medical Letter on Drugs and Therapeutics • July 24, 2023;  (Issue 1681)

The FDA has approved sotagliflozin (Inpefa – Lexicon), an oral sodium-glucose cotransporter 1 and 2 (SGLT1/2) inhibitor, to reduce the risk of hospitalization for heart failure (HF), urgent HF visits, and cardiovascular death in adults with either HF (with any left ventricular ejection fraction [LVEF]) or type 2 diabetes, chronic kidney disease (CKD), and other cardiovascular risk factors. Sotagliflozin is the first dual SGLT1/2 inhibitor to be approved in the US. Unlike SGLT2 inhibitors, it is not FDA-approved to improve glycemic control in adults with type 2 diabetes. Sotagliflozin is approved in the European Union as Zynquista for adjunctive treatment of type 1 diabetes.

The sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitor dapagliflozin (Farxiga – AstraZeneca) was approved by the FDA in 2020 to reduce the risk of cardiovascular death and hospitalization for heart failure (HF) in adults with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF). The indication has now been expanded to include a reduction in the risk of urgent HF visits and use in adults with any left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF).
