8 Empagliflozin Empagliflozin is a highly selective inhibitor of the sodium glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) in the kidney Glucose reduction occurs by reducing renal glucose reabsorption and thus increasing urinary glucose excretion In patients with type 2 diabetes, empagliflozin leads to 1 : – Significant reductions in HbA1c – Weight loss – Reductions in blood pressure without increases in heart rate 8 1.

10 EMPA-REG OUTCOME ® Randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled CV outcomes trial Objective To examine the long-term effects of empagliflozin versus placebo, in addition to standard of care, on CV morbidity and mortality in patients with type 2 diabetes and high risk of CV events 10 CV, cardiovascular

14 Trial design Study medication was given in addition to standard of care – Glucose-lowering therapy was to remain unchanged for first 12 weeks Treatment assignment double masked The trial was to continue until at least 691 patients experienced an adjudicated primary outcome event 14 Randomised and treated (n=7020) Empagliflozin 10 mg (n=2345) Empagliflozin 25 mg (n=2342) Placebo (n=2333) Screening (n=11531)

15 Timeline September 15 th 2010: First patient entered April 13 th 2013: Last patient entered December 15 th 2014: Closeout (final visits) started April 13 th 2015: Last patient out Efforts were made to track outcomes and vital status for all patients, including those who discontinued trial medication 15

17 Key inclusion and exclusion criteria Key inclusion criteria –Adults with type 2 diabetes –BMI ≤45 kg/m 2 –HbA1c 7–10%* –Established cardiovascular disease Prior myocardial infarction, coronary artery disease, stroke, unstable angina or occlusive peripheral arterial disease Key exclusion criteria –eGFR <30 mL/min/1.73m 2 (MDRD) 17 BMI, body mass index; eGFR, estimated glomerular filtration rate; MDRD, Modification of Diet in Renal Disease *No glucose-lowering therapy for ≥12 weeks prior to randomisation or no change in dose for ≥12 weeks prior to randomisation or, in the case of insulin, unchanged by >10% compared to the dose at randomisation

18 Pre-specified primary and key secondary outcomes Primary outcome – 3-point MACE: Time to first occurrence of CV death, non-fatal MI or non-fatal stroke Key secondary outcome – 4-point MACE: Time to first occurrence of CV death, non-fatal MI, non-fatal stroke or hospitalisation for unstable angina 18 CV, cardiovascular; MI, myocardial infarction; MACE, Major Adverse Cardiovascular Event

19 Further pre-specified outcomes CV death Non-fatal MI Non-fatal stroke Hospitalisation for heart failure All-cause mortality All CV and neurological events were adjudicated by independent, masked, clinical event committees 19 CV, cardiovascular; MI, myocardial infarction

20 Additional analyses Changes from baseline in: – HbA1c – Weight – Waist circumference – Systolic and diastolic blood pressure – Heart rate – LDL cholesterol – HDL cholesterol Safety and tolerability – Adverse events 20 HDL, high density lipoprotein; LDL, low density lipoprotein

21 Statistical testing strategy for MACE Analysis compared empagliflozin 10 mg and 25 mg (pooled) versus placebo Hierarchy to be used: 1.Test of non-inferiority for 3-point MACE 2.Test of non-inferiority for 4-point MACE 3.Test of superiority for 3-point MACE 4.Test of superiority for 4-point MACE Each tested at  =0.0249, allowing for 0.0001 penalty for inclusion of interim data in NDA to FDA Non-inferiority was concluded if two-sided upper bound of 95.02% CI was <1.3 Superiority was concluded if two-sided p≤0.0498 21 MACE; Major Adverse Cardiovascular Event; NDA, New Drug Application; FDA, Food and Drug Administration

22 Statistical analysis Analyses of CV outcomes were based on a Cox proportional hazards model Patients who did not have an event were censored on the last day they were known to be free of the outcome Cumulative incidence functions were corrected for mortality as a competing risk (except for all-cause mortality) The primary analysis was conducted in patients treated with ≥1 dose of study drug (intent-to-treat population) The CV outcome analyses were independently validated by statisticians at the University of Freiburg, Germany 22

23 Further pre-defined analyses of the primary outcome Secondary analyses: – Comparisons of empagliflozin 10 mg versus placebo and empagliflozin 25 mg versus placebo Sensitivity analyses: – To assess the robustness of the outcomes, we used three subsets of the data set (two on-treatment sets and one per-protocol set) Subgroup analyses based on baseline characteristics 23

73 Implications for practice and conclusions Bernard Zinman CM, MD, FRCP, FACP Director, Leadership Sinai Centre for Diabetes Professor of Medicine, University of Toronto 73

74 EMPA-REG OUTCOME ® : Summary Empagliflozin reduced risk for 3-point MACE by 14% Empagliflozin was associated with a reduction in HbA1c without an increase in hypoglycaemia, reductions in weight and blood pressure, and small increases in LDL cholesterol and HDL cholesterol Empagliflozin was associated with an increase in genital infections but was otherwise well tolerated 74 MACE, Major Adverse Cardiovascular Event; HDL, high density lipoprotein; LDL, low density lipoprotein

75 EMPA-REG OUTCOME ® : Summary Empagliflozin reduced hospitalisation for heart failure by 35% Empagliflozin reduced CV death by 38% Empagliflozin improved survival by reducing all-cause mortality by 32% 75 CV, cardiovascular

76 EMPA-REG OUTCOME ® : Important features Population studied – A high CV risk population with modest hyperglycaemia on standard glucose-lowering and CV therapy Follow-up and retention – 97.0% of patients completed the study and vital status was available for 99.2% of patients Two doses of empagliflozin (10 mg and 25 mg) studied – Similar magnitude of reduction with both doses for CV death, all-cause mortality and hospitalisation for heart failure 76 CV, cardiovascular

78 EMPA-REG OUTCOME ® : Therapeutic considerations Empagliflozin, as used in this trial, for 3 years in 1,000 patients with type 2 diabetes at high CV risk: – 25 lives saved (82 vs 57 deaths) 22 fewer CV deaths (59 vs 37) – 14 fewer hospitalisations for heart failure (42 vs 28) – 53 additional genital infections (22 vs 75) 78

79 EMPA-REG OUTCOME ® : What effect will these results have on clinical practice guidelines? 79
