德國(guó)殷格翰和美國(guó)印第安納波利斯2020年11月2日 /美通社/ -- 勃林格殷格翰和禮來(lái)公司（NYSE：LLY）宣布：EMPEROR-Reduced III期臨床試驗(yàn)新的探索性亞組分析結(jié)果表明，恩格列凈可降低伴或不伴糖尿病、射血分?jǐn)?shù)降低的成年人心力衰竭患者的心血管和腎臟不良事件的風(fēng)險(xiǎn)，無(wú)論其基礎(chǔ)性慢性腎臟疾病情況如何。該結(jié)果已于今天在2020年美國(guó)腎臟病學(xué)會(huì)腎臟周上作為口頭報(bào)告分享，并發(fā)表于Circulation雜志。[1]
EMPEROR 項(xiàng)目臨床研究員、法國(guó)洛林大學(xué)治療領(lǐng)域名譽(yù)教授Faiez Zannad醫(yī)學(xué)博士表示：“心力衰竭和慢性腎臟病本身都與住院和因心血管疾病原因過(guò)早死亡的風(fēng)險(xiǎn)增加有關(guān)。一種疾病的存在通常會(huì)加速另一種疾病的發(fā)作和發(fā)展，進(jìn)一步增加疾病風(fēng)險(xiǎn)，并導(dǎo)致更差的預(yù)后。在EMPEROR-Reduced研究中，對(duì)于伴或不伴慢性腎臟疾病、射血分?jǐn)?shù)降低的成人心力衰竭患者，恩格列凈在降低心血管死亡和心力衰竭而住院的風(fēng)險(xiǎn)（試驗(yàn)的復(fù)合主要終點(diǎn)）上呈現(xiàn)出一致性，同時(shí)延緩患者腎功能下降。對(duì)于越來(lái)越多患有心力衰竭和慢性腎臟疾病的成年患者來(lái)說(shuō)，這是一個(gè)令人鼓舞的消息?！?/p>
如先前報(bào)道，EMPEROR-Reduced臨床研究顯示，對(duì)于伴或不伴糖尿病、射血分?jǐn)?shù)降低的成人心力衰竭患者，恩格列凈可將心血管死亡事件或因心衰而住院的相對(duì)風(fēng)險(xiǎn)降低25%，將首次和再次因心衰而住院的相對(duì)風(fēng)險(xiǎn)降低30%，且患者的eGFR（衡量腎功能下降的指標(biāo)）下降更慢（試驗(yàn)的復(fù)合終點(diǎn)）。[1] 另一項(xiàng)探索性分析表明，恩格列凈使復(fù)合腎臟終點(diǎn)的相對(duì)風(fēng)險(xiǎn)降低50%，包括終末期腎臟疾病或腎臟功能嚴(yán)重喪失。[1]對(duì)于伴或不伴基礎(chǔ)性慢性腎臟疾病患者亞組人群中，包括嚴(yán)重腎損傷患者，在這項(xiàng)新分析中的所有終點(diǎn)中都觀察到了這些獲益。[1]在所有參與EMPEROR-Reduced臨床試驗(yàn)的患者中，其安全性與恩格列凈的已知安全性相似。[2]
勃林格殷格翰公司副總裁、心臟代謝領(lǐng)域醫(yī)學(xué)負(fù)責(zé)人Waheed Jamal博士表示：“我們對(duì)心力衰竭和慢性腎臟疾病之間的相互作用已經(jīng)有了很好的了解，但是我們還需要對(duì)如何治療這些相互關(guān)聯(lián)的疾病有更深入的了解。這項(xiàng)新數(shù)據(jù)證明了對(duì)心-腎-代謝疾病進(jìn)行全面管理的益處，具有改善全球數(shù)百萬(wàn)人健康的潛力?！?/p>
禮來(lái)公司產(chǎn)品開(kāi)發(fā)副總裁Jeff Emmick博士表示：“心力衰竭和慢性腎臟疾病是一種常見(jiàn)的、威脅生命的疾病，其治療方案需要得到改進(jìn)。EMPOWER臨床開(kāi)發(fā)計(jì)劃，包括我們正在進(jìn)行的EMPEROR-Preserved和EMPA-KIDNEY試驗(yàn)，探索恩格列凈在改善這些疾病患者的預(yù)后中發(fā)揮的潛在作用。EMPEROR-Reduced的新研究結(jié)果將幫助我們實(shí)現(xiàn)重新定義如何治療這些患者的目標(biāo)?！?/p>
2020年3月，美國(guó)食品藥品監(jiān)督管理局（FDA）授予恩格列凈快速通道資格，用于治療慢性腎臟疾病，這顯示了該疾病患者迫切需要新的治療選擇。快速通道資格涵蓋了正在進(jìn)行的EMPA-KIDNEY試驗(yàn)，該試驗(yàn)正在研究恩格列凈對(duì)患有慢性腎臟疾?。ɑ加谢蛘卟换加刑悄虿。┑某扇酥袑?duì)腎臟疾病進(jìn)展和心血管死亡發(fā)生的影響。 EMPA-KIDNEY臨床試驗(yàn)結(jié)果預(yù)計(jì)于2022年公布。[2]
2019年6月，F(xiàn)DA還于授予恩格列凈快速通道資格，用于降低慢性心衰患者的心血管死亡與心衰住院風(fēng)險(xiǎn)?？焖偻ǖ蕾Y格基于EMPEROR項(xiàng)目，該項(xiàng)目包括 EMPEROR-Reduced 與EMPEROR-Preserved 臨床研究。EMPEROR-Preserved正在研究恩格列凈對(duì)射血分?jǐn)?shù)保留的心力衰竭成年人的心血管死亡或因心力衰竭住院的影響，該領(lǐng)域目前尚無(wú)獲批的治療選擇。EMPEROR-Preserved結(jié)果預(yù)計(jì)將于2021年公布。恩格列凈尚不適用于治療心力衰竭。
EMPEROR和EMPA-KIDNEY研究是EMPOWER臨床項(xiàng)目的一部分，EMPOWER是所有SGLT2抑制劑中最廣泛和最全面的試驗(yàn)之一，旨在探索恩格列凈對(duì)各種心臟-腎臟-代謝疾病患者生活的影響。
