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)于越來越多患有心力衰竭和慢性腎臟疾病的成年患者來說，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)百萬人健康的潛力?！?/p>
禮來公司產(chǎn)品開發(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的、威脅生命的疾病，其治療方案需要得到改進(jìn)。EMPOWER臨床開發(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?？焖偻ǖ蕾Y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。
