Empagliflozin was launched as a treatment for T2D in the US in August 20141
In September 2015 the EMPA-REG OUTCOMEreg trial demonstrated that empagliflozin
reduced the risk of CV death HHF and all-cause mortality in patients with T2D and
established CV disease (most commonly CAD) on top of standard of care1
Additional analyses indicated that these effects were consistent across the
CV risk continuum within the EMPA-REG OUTCOMEreg population23
An economic analysis based on EMPA-REG OUTCOMEreg suggested that empagliflozin has
the potential to provide economic benefits to the healthcare system4

Empagliflozin was launched as a treatment for T2D in the US in August 20141
In September 2015 the EMPA-REG OUTCOMEreg trial demonstrated that empagliflozin
reduced the risk of CV death HHF and all-cause mortality in patients with T2D and
established CV disease (most commonly CAD) on top of standard of care1
Additional analyses indicated that these effects were consistent across the
CV risk continuum within the EMPA-REG OUTCOMEreg population23
An economic analysis based on EMPA-REG OUTCOMEreg suggested that empagliflozin has
the potential to provide economic benefits to the healthcare system4

Empagliflozin was launched as a treatment for T2D in the US in August 20141
In September 2015 the EMPA-REG OUTCOMEreg trial demonstrated that empagliflozin
reduced the risk of CV death HHF and all-cause mortality in patients with T2D and
established CV disease (most commonly CAD) on top of standard of care1
Additional analyses indicated that these effects were consistent across the
CV risk continuum within the EMPA-REG OUTCOMEreg population23
An economic analysis based on EMPA-REG OUTCOMEreg suggested that empagliflozin has
the potential to provide economic benefits to the healthcare system4

Summary
48
bull An interim analysis of ~33000 patients in EMPRISE showed that
in routine clinical practice empagliflozin was associated with a 44
relative risk reduction of HHF compared with DPP4i in patients
with T2D1
bull Results were consistent in EMPRISE analyses comparing
Empagliflozin vs the DPP-4i class1
bull EMPRISE which includes three-quarters of patients without CVD
showed that the reduced risk of HHF with empagliflozin was
consistent in patients with and without established CVD1

Empagliflozin was launched as a treatment for T2D in the US in August 20141
In September 2015 the EMPA-REG OUTCOMEreg trial demonstrated that empagliflozin
reduced the risk of CV death HHF and all-cause mortality in patients with T2D and
established CV disease (most commonly CAD) on top of standard of care1
Additional analyses indicated that these effects were consistent across the
CV risk continuum within the EMPA-REG OUTCOMEreg population23
An economic analysis based on EMPA-REG OUTCOMEreg suggested that empagliflozin has
the potential to provide economic benefits to the healthcare system4

Empagliflozin enhances the excretion of glucose sodium and water into the urine
bull By blocking the action of SGLT2 Empagliflozin reduces renal glucose reabsorption and increases urinary glucose excretion This is accompanied by transient natriuresis and increases in urine volume

Summary
48
bull An interim analysis of ~33000 patients in EMPRISE showed that
in routine clinical practice empagliflozin was associated with a 44
relative risk reduction of HHF compared with DPP4i in patients
with T2D1
bull Results were consistent in EMPRISE analyses comparing
Empagliflozin vs the DPP-4i class1
bull EMPRISE which includes three-quarters of patients without CVD
showed that the reduced risk of HHF with empagliflozin was
consistent in patients with and without established CVD1

Empagliflozin was launched as a treatment for T2D in the US in August 20141
In September 2015 the EMPA-REG OUTCOMEreg trial demonstrated that empagliflozin
reduced the risk of CV death HHF and all-cause mortality in patients with T2D and
established CV disease (most commonly CAD) on top of standard of care1
Additional analyses indicated that these effects were consistent across the
CV risk continuum within the EMPA-REG OUTCOMEreg population23
An economic analysis based on EMPA-REG OUTCOMEreg suggested that empagliflozin has
the potential to provide economic benefits to the healthcare system4

bull EMPRISE which includes three-quarters of patients without CVD
showed that the reduced risk of HHF with empagliflozin was
consistent in patients with and without established CVD1

Empagliflozin was launched as a treatment for T2D in the US in August 20141
In September 2015 the EMPA-REG OUTCOMEreg trial demonstrated that empagliflozin
reduced the risk of CV death HHF and all-cause mortality in patients with T2D and
established CV disease (most commonly CAD) on top of standard of care1
Additional analyses indicated that these effects were consistent across the
CV risk continuum within the EMPA-REG OUTCOMEreg population23
An economic analysis based on EMPA-REG OUTCOMEreg suggested that empagliflozin has
the potential to provide economic benefits to the healthcare system4

bull People with T2D has increase risk of heart failure and diabetes worsen the
prognosis of heart failure both in preserved and reduce ejection fraction
bull Major historic T2D CV outcomes trials focused on intensive vs

Empagliflozin was launched as a treatment for T2D in the US in August 20141
In September 2015 the EMPA-REG OUTCOMEreg trial demonstrated that empagliflozin
reduced the risk of CV death HHF and all-cause mortality in patients with T2D and
established CV disease (most commonly CAD) on top of standard of care1
Additional analyses indicated that these effects were consistent across the
CV risk continuum within the EMPA-REG OUTCOMEreg population23
An economic analysis based on EMPA-REG OUTCOMEreg suggested that empagliflozin has
the potential to provide economic benefits to the healthcare system4

bull An interim analysis of ~33000 patients in EMPRISE showed that
in routine clinical practice empagliflozin was associated with a 44
relative risk reduction of HHF compared with DPP4i in patients
with T2D1
bull Results were consistent in EMPRISE analyses comparing
Empagliflozin vs the DPP-4i class1
bull EMPRISE which includes three-quarters of patients without CVD
showed that the reduced risk of HHF with empagliflozin was
consistent in patients with and without established CVD1

Empagliflozin was launched as a treatment for T2D in the US in August 20141
In September 2015 the EMPA-REG OUTCOMEreg trial demonstrated that empagliflozin
reduced the risk of CV death HHF and all-cause mortality in patients with T2D and
established CV disease (most commonly CAD) on top of standard of care1
Additional analyses indicated that these effects were consistent across the
CV risk continuum within the EMPA-REG OUTCOMEreg population23
An economic analysis based on EMPA-REG OUTCOMEreg suggested that empagliflozin has
the potential to provide economic benefits to the healthcare system4

Summary
47
bull Cardiovascular disease is a significant global burden
bull T2D is a major and independent risk factor for both microvascular and
macrovascular complication
bull People with T2D has increase risk of heart failure and diabetes worsen the
prognosis of heart failure both in preserved and reduce ejection fraction
bull Major historic T2D CV outcomes trials focused on intensive vs
conventional glycaemic control confirmed benefit on microvascular
complications but mixed results on macrovascular outcomes
bull Empagliflozin in EMPA-REG OUTCOME may suggest beyond glycemic
control effect with various potential mechanism explaining the effect

Summary
48
bull An interim analysis of ~33000 patients in EMPRISE showed that
in routine clinical practice empagliflozin was associated with a 44
relative risk reduction of HHF compared with DPP4i in patients
with T2D1
bull Results were consistent in EMPRISE analyses comparing
Empagliflozin vs the DPP-4i class1
bull EMPRISE which includes three-quarters of patients without CVD
showed that the reduced risk of HHF with empagliflozin was
consistent in patients with and without established CVD1

Empagliflozin was launched as a treatment for T2D in the US in August 20141
In September 2015 the EMPA-REG OUTCOMEreg trial demonstrated that empagliflozin
reduced the risk of CV death HHF and all-cause mortality in patients with T2D and
established CV disease (most commonly CAD) on top of standard of care1
Additional analyses indicated that these effects were consistent across the
CV risk continuum within the EMPA-REG OUTCOMEreg population23
An economic analysis based on EMPA-REG OUTCOMEreg suggested that empagliflozin has
the potential to provide economic benefits to the healthcare system4

bull Cardiovascular disease is a significant global burden
bull T2D is a major and independent risk factor for both microvascular and
macrovascular complication
bull People with T2D has increase risk of heart failure and diabetes worsen the
prognosis of heart failure both in preserved and reduce ejection fraction
bull Major historic T2D CV outcomes trials focused on intensive vs
conventional glycaemic control confirmed benefit on microvascular
complications but mixed results on macrovascular outcomes
bull Empagliflozin in EMPA-REG OUTCOME may suggest beyond glycemic

Empagliflozin was launched as a treatment for T2D in the US in August 20141
In September 2015 the EMPA-REG OUTCOMEreg trial demonstrated that empagliflozin
reduced the risk of CV death HHF and all-cause mortality in patients with T2D and
established CV disease (most commonly CAD) on top of standard of care1
Additional analyses indicated that these effects were consistent across the
CV risk continuum within the EMPA-REG OUTCOMEreg population23
An economic analysis based on EMPA-REG OUTCOMEreg suggested that empagliflozin has
the potential to provide economic benefits to the healthcare system4

Empagliflozin enhances the excretion of glucose sodium and water into the urine
bull By blocking the action of SGLT2 Empagliflozin reduces renal glucose reabsorption and increases urinary glucose excretion This is accompanied by transient natriuresis and increases in urine volume

Summary
47
bull Cardiovascular disease is a significant global burden
bull T2D is a major and independent risk factor for both microvascular and
macrovascular complication
bull People with T2D has increase risk of heart failure and diabetes worsen the
prognosis of heart failure both in preserved and reduce ejection fraction
bull Major historic T2D CV outcomes trials focused on intensive vs
conventional glycaemic control confirmed benefit on microvascular
complications but mixed results on macrovascular outcomes
bull Empagliflozin in EMPA-REG OUTCOME may suggest beyond glycemic
control effect with various potential mechanism explaining the effect

Summary
48
bull An interim analysis of ~33000 patients in EMPRISE showed that
in routine clinical practice empagliflozin was associated with a 44
relative risk reduction of HHF compared with DPP4i in patients
with T2D1
bull Results were consistent in EMPRISE analyses comparing
Empagliflozin vs the DPP-4i class1
bull EMPRISE which includes three-quarters of patients without CVD
showed that the reduced risk of HHF with empagliflozin was
consistent in patients with and without established CVD1

Empagliflozin was launched as a treatment for T2D in the US in August 20141
In September 2015 the EMPA-REG OUTCOMEreg trial demonstrated that empagliflozin
reduced the risk of CV death HHF and all-cause mortality in patients with T2D and
established CV disease (most commonly CAD) on top of standard of care1
Additional analyses indicated that these effects were consistent across the
CV risk continuum within the EMPA-REG OUTCOMEreg population23
An economic analysis based on EMPA-REG OUTCOMEreg suggested that empagliflozin has
the potential to provide economic benefits to the healthcare system4

Summary
48
bull An interim analysis of ~33000 patients in EMPRISE showed that
in routine clinical practice empagliflozin was associated with a 44
relative risk reduction of HHF compared with DPP4i in patients
with T2D1
bull Results were consistent in EMPRISE analyses comparing
Empagliflozin vs the DPP-4i class1
bull EMPRISE which includes three-quarters of patients without CVD
showed that the reduced risk of HHF with empagliflozin was
consistent in patients with and without established CVD1
People with diabetes are at increased risk of
heart failure
12
Diabetes confers a 60ndash80 greater
probability of CV death and all-cause
mortality in those with established HF23

Empagliflozin was launched as a treatment for T2D in the US in August 20141
In September 2015 the EMPA-REG OUTCOMEreg trial demonstrated that empagliflozin
reduced the risk of CV death HHF and all-cause mortality in patients with T2D and
established CV disease (most commonly CAD) on top of standard of care1
Additional analyses indicated that these effects were consistent across the
CV risk continuum within the EMPA-REG OUTCOMEreg population23
An economic analysis based on EMPA-REG OUTCOMEreg suggested that empagliflozin has
the potential to provide economic benefits to the healthcare system4

Summary
47
bull Cardiovascular disease is a significant global burden
bull T2D is a major and independent risk factor for both microvascular and
macrovascular complication
bull People with T2D has increase risk of heart failure and diabetes worsen the
prognosis of heart failure both in preserved and reduce ejection fraction
bull Major historic T2D CV outcomes trials focused on intensive vs
conventional glycaemic control confirmed benefit on microvascular
complications but mixed results on macrovascular outcomes
bull Empagliflozin in EMPA-REG OUTCOME may suggest beyond glycemic

bull An interim analysis of ~33000 patients in EMPRISE showed that
in routine clinical practice empagliflozin was associated with a 44
relative risk reduction of HHF compared with DPP4i in patients
with T2D1
bull Results were consistent in EMPRISE analyses comparing
Empagliflozin vs the DPP-4i class1
bull EMPRISE which includes three-quarters of patients without CVD
showed that the reduced risk of HHF with empagliflozin was
consistent in patients with and without established CVD1

Empagliflozin was launched as a treatment for T2D in the US in August 20141
In September 2015 the EMPA-REG OUTCOMEreg trial demonstrated that empagliflozin
reduced the risk of CV death HHF and all-cause mortality in patients with T2D and
established CV disease (most commonly CAD) on top of standard of care1
Additional analyses indicated that these effects were consistent across the
CV risk continuum within the EMPA-REG OUTCOMEreg population23
An economic analysis based on EMPA-REG OUTCOMEreg suggested that empagliflozin has
the potential to provide economic benefits to the healthcare system4

Summary
47
bull Cardiovascular disease is a significant global burden
bull T2D is a major and independent risk factor for both microvascular and
macrovascular complication
bull People with T2D has increase risk of heart failure and diabetes worsen the
prognosis of heart failure both in preserved and reduce ejection fraction
bull Major historic T2D CV outcomes trials focused on intensive vs
conventional glycaemic control confirmed benefit on microvascular
complications but mixed results on macrovascular outcomes
bull Empagliflozin in EMPA-REG OUTCOME may suggest beyond glycemic
control effect with various potential mechanism explaining the effect

Summary
48
bull An interim analysis of ~33000 patients in EMPRISE showed that
in routine clinical practice empagliflozin was associated with a 44
relative risk reduction of HHF compared with DPP4i in patients
with T2D1
bull Results were consistent in EMPRISE analyses comparing
Empagliflozin vs the DPP-4i class1
bull EMPRISE which includes three-quarters of patients without CVD
showed that the reduced risk of HHF with empagliflozin was
consistent in patients with and without established CVD1

Empagliflozin was launched as a treatment for T2D in the US in August 20141
In September 2015 the EMPA-REG OUTCOMEreg trial demonstrated that empagliflozin
reduced the risk of CV death HHF and all-cause mortality in patients with T2D and
established CV disease (most commonly CAD) on top of standard of care1
Additional analyses indicated that these effects were consistent across the
CV risk continuum within the EMPA-REG OUTCOMEreg population23
An economic analysis based on EMPA-REG OUTCOMEreg suggested that empagliflozin has
the potential to provide economic benefits to the healthcare system4

Summary
47
bull Cardiovascular disease is a significant global burden
bull T2D is a major and independent risk factor for both microvascular and
macrovascular complication
bull People with T2D has increase risk of heart failure and diabetes worsen the
prognosis of heart failure both in preserved and reduce ejection fraction
bull Major historic T2D CV outcomes trials focused on intensive vs
conventional glycaemic control confirmed benefit on microvascular
complications but mixed results on macrovascular outcomes
bull Empagliflozin in EMPA-REG OUTCOME may suggest beyond glycemic

Summary
48
bull An interim analysis of ~33000 patients in EMPRISE showed that
in routine clinical practice empagliflozin was associated with a 44
relative risk reduction of HHF compared with DPP4i in patients
with T2D1
bull Results were consistent in EMPRISE analyses comparing
Empagliflozin vs the DPP-4i class1
bull EMPRISE which includes three-quarters of patients without CVD
showed that the reduced risk of HHF with empagliflozin was
consistent in patients with and without established CVD1
Diabetes-related CV complications have declined with
improved care but substantial burden remains

Empagliflozin was launched as a treatment for T2D in the US in August 20141
In September 2015 the EMPA-REG OUTCOMEreg trial demonstrated that empagliflozin
reduced the risk of CV death HHF and all-cause mortality in patients with T2D and
established CV disease (most commonly CAD) on top of standard of care1
Additional analyses indicated that these effects were consistent across the
CV risk continuum within the EMPA-REG OUTCOMEreg population23
An economic analysis based on EMPA-REG OUTCOMEreg suggested that empagliflozin has
the potential to provide economic benefits to the healthcare system4

Summary
47
bull Cardiovascular disease is a significant global burden
bull T2D is a major and independent risk factor for both microvascular and
macrovascular complication
bull People with T2D has increase risk of heart failure and diabetes worsen the
prognosis of heart failure both in preserved and reduce ejection fraction
bull Major historic T2D CV outcomes trials focused on intensive vs
conventional glycaemic control confirmed benefit on microvascular
complications but mixed results on macrovascular outcomes
bull Empagliflozin in EMPA-REG OUTCOME may suggest beyond glycemic
control effect with various potential mechanism explaining the effect

Summary
48
bull An interim analysis of ~33000 patients in EMPRISE showed that
in routine clinical practice empagliflozin was associated with a 44
relative risk reduction of HHF compared with DPP4i in patients
with T2D1
bull Results were consistent in EMPRISE analyses comparing
Empagliflozin vs the DPP-4i class1
bull EMPRISE which includes three-quarters of patients without CVD
showed that the reduced risk of HHF with empagliflozin was
consistent in patients with and without established CVD1

Empagliflozin was launched as a treatment for T2D in the US in August 20141
In September 2015 the EMPA-REG OUTCOMEreg trial demonstrated that empagliflozin
reduced the risk of CV death HHF and all-cause mortality in patients with T2D and
established CV disease (most commonly CAD) on top of standard of care1
Additional analyses indicated that these effects were consistent across the
CV risk continuum within the EMPA-REG OUTCOMEreg population23
An economic analysis based on EMPA-REG OUTCOMEreg suggested that empagliflozin has
the potential to provide economic benefits to the healthcare system4

bull Cardiovascular disease is a significant global burden
bull T2D is a major and independent risk factor for both microvascular and
macrovascular complication
bull People with T2D has increase risk of heart failure and diabetes worsen the
prognosis of heart failure both in preserved and reduce ejection fraction
bull Major historic T2D CV outcomes trials focused on intensive vs
conventional glycaemic control confirmed benefit on microvascular
complications but mixed results on macrovascular outcomes
bull Empagliflozin in EMPA-REG OUTCOME may suggest beyond glycemic

Summary
48
bull An interim analysis of ~33000 patients in EMPRISE showed that
in routine clinical practice empagliflozin was associated with a 44
relative risk reduction of HHF compared with DPP4i in patients
with T2D1
bull Results were consistent in EMPRISE analyses comparing
Empagliflozin vs the DPP-4i class1
bull EMPRISE which includes three-quarters of patients without CVD
showed that the reduced risk of HHF with empagliflozin was
consistent in patients with and without established CVD1

Empagliflozin was launched as a treatment for T2D in the US in August 20141
In September 2015 the EMPA-REG OUTCOMEreg trial demonstrated that empagliflozin
reduced the risk of CV death HHF and all-cause mortality in patients with T2D and
established CV disease (most commonly CAD) on top of standard of care1
Additional analyses indicated that these effects were consistent across the
CV risk continuum within the EMPA-REG OUTCOMEreg population23
An economic analysis based on EMPA-REG OUTCOMEreg suggested that empagliflozin has
the potential to provide economic benefits to the healthcare system4

Empagliflozin was launched as a treatment for T2D in the US in August 20141
In September 2015 the EMPA-REG OUTCOMEreg trial demonstrated that empagliflozin
reduced the risk of CV death HHF and all-cause mortality in patients with T2D and
established CV disease (most commonly CAD) on top of standard of care1
Additional analyses indicated that these effects were consistent across the
CV risk continuum within the EMPA-REG OUTCOMEreg population23
An economic analysis based on EMPA-REG OUTCOMEreg suggested that empagliflozin has
the potential to provide economic benefits to the healthcare system4

bull Cardiovascular disease is a significant global burden
bull T2D is a major and independent risk factor for both microvascular and
macrovascular complication
bull People with T2D has increase risk of heart failure and diabetes worsen the
prognosis of heart failure both in preserved and reduce ejection fraction
bull Major historic T2D CV outcomes trials focused on intensive vs
conventional glycaemic control confirmed benefit on microvascular
complications but mixed results on macrovascular outcomes
bull Empagliflozin in EMPA-REG OUTCOME may suggest beyond glycemic

Empagliflozin was launched as a treatment for T2D in the US in August 20141
In September 2015 the EMPA-REG OUTCOMEreg trial demonstrated that empagliflozin
reduced the risk of CV death HHF and all-cause mortality in patients with T2D and
established CV disease (most commonly CAD) on top of standard of care1
Additional analyses indicated that these effects were consistent across the
CV risk continuum within the EMPA-REG OUTCOMEreg population23
An economic analysis based on EMPA-REG OUTCOMEreg suggested that empagliflozin has
the potential to provide economic benefits to the healthcare system4

Summary
47
bull Cardiovascular disease is a significant global burden
bull T2D is a major and independent risk factor for both microvascular and
macrovascular complication
bull People with T2D has increase risk of heart failure and diabetes worsen the
prognosis of heart failure both in preserved and reduce ejection fraction
bull Major historic T2D CV outcomes trials focused on intensive vs
conventional glycaemic control confirmed benefit on microvascular
complications but mixed results on macrovascular outcomes
bull Empagliflozin in EMPA-REG OUTCOME may suggest beyond glycemic
control effect with various potential mechanism explaining the effect

Empagliflozin was launched as a treatment for T2D in the US in August 20141
In September 2015 the EMPA-REG OUTCOMEreg trial demonstrated that empagliflozin
reduced the risk of CV death HHF and all-cause mortality in patients with T2D and
established CV disease (most commonly CAD) on top of standard of care1
Additional analyses indicated that these effects were consistent across the
CV risk continuum within the EMPA-REG OUTCOMEreg population23
An economic analysis based on EMPA-REG OUTCOMEreg suggested that empagliflozin has
the potential to provide economic benefits to the healthcare system4

Summary
48
bull An interim analysis of ~33000 patients in EMPRISE showed that
in routine clinical practice empagliflozin was associated with a 44
relative risk reduction of HHF compared with DPP4i in patients
with T2D1
bull Results were consistent in EMPRISE analyses comparing
Empagliflozin vs the DPP-4i class1
bull EMPRISE which includes three-quarters of patients without CVD
showed that the reduced risk of HHF with empagliflozin was
consistent in patients with and without established CVD1
CV safety trials are being conducted for each compound within the newer classes

Empagliflozin was launched as a treatment for T2D in the US in August 20141
In September 2015 the EMPA-REG OUTCOMEreg trial demonstrated that empagliflozin
reduced the risk of CV death HHF and all-cause mortality in patients with T2D and
established CV disease (most commonly CAD) on top of standard of care1
Additional analyses indicated that these effects were consistent across the
CV risk continuum within the EMPA-REG OUTCOMEreg population23
An economic analysis based on EMPA-REG OUTCOMEreg suggested that empagliflozin has
the potential to provide economic benefits to the healthcare system4

Empagliflozin enhances the excretion of glucose sodium and water into the urine
bull By blocking the action of SGLT2 Empagliflozin reduces renal glucose reabsorption and increases urinary glucose excretion This is accompanied by transient natriuresis and increases in urine volume

bull T2D is a major and independent risk factor for both microvascular and
macrovascular complication
bull People with T2D has increase risk of heart failure and diabetes worsen the
prognosis of heart failure both in preserved and reduce ejection fraction
bull Major historic T2D CV outcomes trials focused on intensive vs

Summary
48
bull An interim analysis of ~33000 patients in EMPRISE showed that
in routine clinical practice empagliflozin was associated with a 44
relative risk reduction of HHF compared with DPP4i in patients
with T2D1
bull Results were consistent in EMPRISE analyses comparing
Empagliflozin vs the DPP-4i class1
bull EMPRISE which includes three-quarters of patients without CVD
showed that the reduced risk of HHF with empagliflozin was
consistent in patients with and without established CVD1

Empagliflozin was launched as a treatment for T2D in the US in August 20141
In September 2015 the EMPA-REG OUTCOMEreg trial demonstrated that empagliflozin
reduced the risk of CV death HHF and all-cause mortality in patients with T2D and
established CV disease (most commonly CAD) on top of standard of care1
Additional analyses indicated that these effects were consistent across the
CV risk continuum within the EMPA-REG OUTCOMEreg population23
An economic analysis based on EMPA-REG OUTCOMEreg suggested that empagliflozin has
the potential to provide economic benefits to the healthcare system4

Empagliflozin was launched as a treatment for T2D in the US in August 20141
In September 2015 the EMPA-REG OUTCOMEreg trial demonstrated that empagliflozin
reduced the risk of CV death HHF and all-cause mortality in patients with T2D and
established CV disease (most commonly CAD) on top of standard of care1
Additional analyses indicated that these effects were consistent across the
CV risk continuum within the EMPA-REG OUTCOMEreg population23
An economic analysis based on EMPA-REG OUTCOMEreg suggested that empagliflozin has
the potential to provide economic benefits to the healthcare system4

bull Cardiovascular disease is a significant global burden
bull T2D is a major and independent risk factor for both microvascular and
macrovascular complication
bull People with T2D has increase risk of heart failure and diabetes worsen the
prognosis of heart failure both in preserved and reduce ejection fraction
bull Major historic T2D CV outcomes trials focused on intensive vs
conventional glycaemic control confirmed benefit on microvascular
complications but mixed results on macrovascular outcomes
bull Empagliflozin in EMPA-REG OUTCOME may suggest beyond glycemic

Empagliflozin was launched as a treatment for T2D in the US in August 20141
In September 2015 the EMPA-REG OUTCOMEreg trial demonstrated that empagliflozin
reduced the risk of CV death HHF and all-cause mortality in patients with T2D and
established CV disease (most commonly CAD) on top of standard of care1
Additional analyses indicated that these effects were consistent across the
CV risk continuum within the EMPA-REG OUTCOMEreg population23
An economic analysis based on EMPA-REG OUTCOMEreg suggested that empagliflozin has
the potential to provide economic benefits to the healthcare system4

bull Cardiovascular disease is a significant global burden
bull T2D is a major and independent risk factor for both microvascular and
macrovascular complication
bull People with T2D has increase risk of heart failure and diabetes worsen the
prognosis of heart failure both in preserved and reduce ejection fraction
bull Major historic T2D CV outcomes trials focused on intensive vs
conventional glycaemic control confirmed benefit on microvascular
complications but mixed results on macrovascular outcomes
bull Empagliflozin in EMPA-REG OUTCOME may suggest beyond glycemic

Empagliflozin was launched as a treatment for T2D in the US in August 20141
In September 2015 the EMPA-REG OUTCOMEreg trial demonstrated that empagliflozin
reduced the risk of CV death HHF and all-cause mortality in patients with T2D and
established CV disease (most commonly CAD) on top of standard of care1
Additional analyses indicated that these effects were consistent across the
CV risk continuum within the EMPA-REG OUTCOMEreg population23
An economic analysis based on EMPA-REG OUTCOMEreg suggested that empagliflozin has
the potential to provide economic benefits to the healthcare system4

Empagliflozin was launched as a treatment for T2D in the US in August 20141
In September 2015 the EMPA-REG OUTCOMEreg trial demonstrated that empagliflozin
reduced the risk of CV death HHF and all-cause mortality in patients with T2D and
established CV disease (most commonly CAD) on top of standard of care1
Additional analyses indicated that these effects were consistent across the
CV risk continuum within the EMPA-REG OUTCOMEreg population23
An economic analysis based on EMPA-REG OUTCOMEreg suggested that empagliflozin has
the potential to provide economic benefits to the healthcare system4

bull People with T2D has increase risk of heart failure and diabetes worsen the
prognosis of heart failure both in preserved and reduce ejection fraction
bull Major historic T2D CV outcomes trials focused on intensive vs

Empagliflozin was launched as a treatment for T2D in the US in August 20141
In September 2015 the EMPA-REG OUTCOMEreg trial demonstrated that empagliflozin
reduced the risk of CV death HHF and all-cause mortality in patients with T2D and
established CV disease (most commonly CAD) on top of standard of care1
Additional analyses indicated that these effects were consistent across the
CV risk continuum within the EMPA-REG OUTCOMEreg population23
An economic analysis based on EMPA-REG OUTCOMEreg suggested that empagliflozin has
the potential to provide economic benefits to the healthcare system4

bull An interim analysis of ~33000 patients in EMPRISE showed that
in routine clinical practice empagliflozin was associated with a 44
relative risk reduction of HHF compared with DPP4i in patients
with T2D1
bull Results were consistent in EMPRISE analyses comparing
Empagliflozin vs the DPP-4i class1
bull EMPRISE which includes three-quarters of patients without CVD
showed that the reduced risk of HHF with empagliflozin was
consistent in patients with and without established CVD1

Empagliflozin was launched as a treatment for T2D in the US in August 20141
In September 2015 the EMPA-REG OUTCOMEreg trial demonstrated that empagliflozin
reduced the risk of CV death HHF and all-cause mortality in patients with T2D and
established CV disease (most commonly CAD) on top of standard of care1
Additional analyses indicated that these effects were consistent across the
CV risk continuum within the EMPA-REG OUTCOMEreg population23
An economic analysis based on EMPA-REG OUTCOMEreg suggested that empagliflozin has
the potential to provide economic benefits to the healthcare system4

bull Cardiovascular disease is a significant global burden
bull T2D is a major and independent risk factor for both microvascular and
macrovascular complication
bull People with T2D has increase risk of heart failure and diabetes worsen the
prognosis of heart failure both in preserved and reduce ejection fraction
bull Major historic T2D CV outcomes trials focused on intensive vs
conventional glycaemic control confirmed benefit on microvascular
complications but mixed results on macrovascular outcomes
bull Empagliflozin in EMPA-REG OUTCOME may suggest beyond glycemic

Summary
48
bull An interim analysis of ~33000 patients in EMPRISE showed that
in routine clinical practice empagliflozin was associated with a 44
relative risk reduction of HHF compared with DPP4i in patients
with T2D1
bull Results were consistent in EMPRISE analyses comparing
Empagliflozin vs the DPP-4i class1
bull EMPRISE which includes three-quarters of patients without CVD
showed that the reduced risk of HHF with empagliflozin was
consistent in patients with and without established CVD1

Empagliflozin was launched as a treatment for T2D in the US in August 20141
In September 2015 the EMPA-REG OUTCOMEreg trial demonstrated that empagliflozin
reduced the risk of CV death HHF and all-cause mortality in patients with T2D and
established CV disease (most commonly CAD) on top of standard of care1
Additional analyses indicated that these effects were consistent across the
CV risk continuum within the EMPA-REG OUTCOMEreg population23
An economic analysis based on EMPA-REG OUTCOMEreg suggested that empagliflozin has
the potential to provide economic benefits to the healthcare system4

bull Cardiovascular disease is a significant global burden
bull T2D is a major and independent risk factor for both microvascular and
macrovascular complication
bull People with T2D has increase risk of heart failure and diabetes worsen the
prognosis of heart failure both in preserved and reduce ejection fraction
bull Major historic T2D CV outcomes trials focused on intensive vs
conventional glycaemic control confirmed benefit on microvascular
complications but mixed results on macrovascular outcomes

Summary
48
bull An interim analysis of ~33000 patients in EMPRISE showed that
in routine clinical practice empagliflozin was associated with a 44
relative risk reduction of HHF compared with DPP4i in patients
with T2D1
bull Results were consistent in EMPRISE analyses comparing
Empagliflozin vs the DPP-4i class1
bull EMPRISE which includes three-quarters of patients without CVD
showed that the reduced risk of HHF with empagliflozin was
consistent in patients with and without established CVD1

Empagliflozin was launched as a treatment for T2D in the US in August 20141
In September 2015 the EMPA-REG OUTCOMEreg trial demonstrated that empagliflozin
reduced the risk of CV death HHF and all-cause mortality in patients with T2D and
established CV disease (most commonly CAD) on top of standard of care1
Additional analyses indicated that these effects were consistent across the
CV risk continuum within the EMPA-REG OUTCOMEreg population23
An economic analysis based on EMPA-REG OUTCOMEreg suggested that empagliflozin has
the potential to provide economic benefits to the healthcare system4

Summary
47
bull Cardiovascular disease is a significant global burden
bull T2D is a major and independent risk factor for both microvascular and
macrovascular complication
bull People with T2D has increase risk of heart failure and diabetes worsen the
prognosis of heart failure both in preserved and reduce ejection fraction
bull Major historic T2D CV outcomes trials focused on intensive vs
conventional glycaemic control confirmed benefit on microvascular
complications but mixed results on macrovascular outcomes
bull Empagliflozin in EMPA-REG OUTCOME may suggest beyond glycemic
control effect with various potential mechanism explaining the effect

bull Cardiovascular disease is a significant global burden
bull T2D is a major and independent risk factor for both microvascular and
macrovascular complication
bull People with T2D has increase risk of heart failure and diabetes worsen the
prognosis of heart failure both in preserved and reduce ejection fraction
bull Major historic T2D CV outcomes trials focused on intensive vs
conventional glycaemic control confirmed benefit on microvascular
complications but mixed results on macrovascular outcomes
bull Empagliflozin in EMPA-REG OUTCOME may suggest beyond glycemic

bull An interim analysis of ~33000 patients in EMPRISE showed that
in routine clinical practice empagliflozin was associated with a 44
relative risk reduction of HHF compared with DPP4i in patients
with T2D1
bull Results were consistent in EMPRISE analyses comparing
Empagliflozin vs the DPP-4i class1
bull EMPRISE which includes three-quarters of patients without CVD
showed that the reduced risk of HHF with empagliflozin was
consistent in patients with and without established CVD1

Summary
47
bull Cardiovascular disease is a significant global burden
bull T2D is a major and independent risk factor for both microvascular and
macrovascular complication
bull People with T2D has increase risk of heart failure and diabetes worsen the
prognosis of heart failure both in preserved and reduce ejection fraction
bull Major historic T2D CV outcomes trials focused on intensive vs
conventional glycaemic control confirmed benefit on microvascular
complications but mixed results on macrovascular outcomes
bull Empagliflozin in EMPA-REG OUTCOME may suggest beyond glycemic
control effect with various potential mechanism explaining the effect

bull An interim analysis of ~33000 patients in EMPRISE showed that
in routine clinical practice empagliflozin was associated with a 44
relative risk reduction of HHF compared with DPP4i in patients
with T2D1
bull Results were consistent in EMPRISE analyses comparing

bull EMPRISE which includes three-quarters of patients without CVD
showed that the reduced risk of HHF with empagliflozin was
consistent in patients with and without established CVD1

Summary
47
bull Cardiovascular disease is a significant global burden
bull T2D is a major and independent risk factor for both microvascular and
macrovascular complication
bull People with T2D has increase risk of heart failure and diabetes worsen the
prognosis of heart failure both in preserved and reduce ejection fraction
bull Major historic T2D CV outcomes trials focused on intensive vs
conventional glycaemic control confirmed benefit on microvascular
complications but mixed results on macrovascular outcomes
bull Empagliflozin in EMPA-REG OUTCOME may suggest beyond glycemic

Summary
48
bull An interim analysis of ~33000 patients in EMPRISE showed that
in routine clinical practice empagliflozin was associated with a 44
relative risk reduction of HHF compared with DPP4i in patients
with T2D1
bull Results were consistent in EMPRISE analyses comparing
Empagliflozin vs the DPP-4i class1
bull EMPRISE which includes three-quarters of patients without CVD
showed that the reduced risk of HHF with empagliflozin was
consistent in patients with and without established CVD1

Summary

bull Cardiovascular disease is a significant global burden
bull T2D is a major and independent risk factor for both microvascular and
macrovascular complication
bull People with T2D has increase risk of heart failure and diabetes worsen the
prognosis of heart failure both in preserved and reduce ejection fraction
bull Major historic T2D CV outcomes trials focused on intensive vs
conventional glycaemic control confirmed benefit on microvascular
complications but mixed results on macrovascular outcomes
bull Empagliflozin in EMPA-REG OUTCOME may suggest beyond glycemic
control effect with various potential mechanism explaining the effect

Summary
48
bull An interim analysis of ~33000 patients in EMPRISE showed that
in routine clinical practice empagliflozin was associated with a 44
relative risk reduction of HHF compared with DPP4i in patients
with T2D1
bull Results were consistent in EMPRISE analyses comparing
Empagliflozin vs the DPP-4i class1
bull EMPRISE which includes three-quarters of patients without CVD
showed that the reduced risk of HHF with empagliflozin was
consistent in patients with and without established CVD1
Empagliflozin enhances the excretion of glucose sodium and water into the urine
bull By blocking the action of SGLT2 Empagliflozin reduces renal glucose reabsorption and increases urinary glucose excretion This is accompanied by transient natriuresis and increases in urine volume
