- Data introduced on the Heart Failure Society of America annual scientific assembly
- New evaluation provides to rising physique of proof in help of the use of sotagliflozin, an investigational twin SGLT1 and SGLT2 inhibitor, within the remedy of coronary heart failure
THE WOODLANDS, Texas, Oct. 02, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Lexicon Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Nasdaq: LXRX) in the present day introduced {that a} new evaluation of outcomes from the SOLOIST-WHF Phase 3 outcomes trial of sotagliflozin, an investigational twin SGLT1 and SGLT2 inhibitor, was introduced on the Heart Failure Society of America (HSFA) Annual Scientific Meeting 2022.
The new evaluation was introduced by Bertram Pitt, M.D., FACC, professor of medication emeritus on the University of Michigan, School of Medicine, and co-chair for the SOLOIST-WHF trial in addition to a member of the Executive Committee for the Phase 3 SCORED trial of sotagliflozin. The poster, entitled “Sotagliflozin, a Dual SGLT1 and SGLT2 Inhibitor, Reduces First and Subsequent Heart Failure-related Events in Patients Admitted for Worsening Heart Failure”, was introduced on Sunday, October 2nd throughout the basic poster viewing session IV (https://hfsa.org/hfsa-annual-scientific-meeting-2022).
“Patients treated with sotagliflozin in the SOLOIST-WHF trial experienced fewer single as well as multiple heart failure events than those receiving placebo,” mentioned Dr. Pitt. “Thus, we conclude that sotagliflozin altered the trajectory of patients hospitalized for worsening heart failure by reducing early and recurrent heart failure events.”
“We are pleased that data from the SOLOIST-WHF trial continues to yield robust findings that further help characterize and differentiate the potential benefits of sotagliflozin in heart failure,” mentioned Dr. Craig Granowitz, Lexicon’s senior vice chairman and chief medical officer.
About the SCORED and SOLOIST-WHF Studies
SCORED was a multi-center, randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled Phase 3 research evaluating the cardiovascular efficacy of sotagliflozin versus placebo when added to straightforward of care in 10,584 sufferers with sort 2 diabetes, continual kidney illness with eGFR of 25 to 60 ml per minute per 1.73 m2 of body-surface space, and dangers for heart problems. The main endpoint was the entire quantity of occasions comprised of deaths from cardiovascular causes, hospitalizations for coronary heart failure, and pressing visits for coronary heart failure in sufferers handled with sotagliflozin in contrast with placebo. Key secondary endpoints included whole quantity of occasions of deaths from cardiovascular causes, non-fatal myocardial infarction, and non-fatal stroke.
SOLOIST-WHF was a multi-center, randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled Phase 3 research evaluating the cardiovascular efficacy of sotagliflozin versus placebo when added to straightforward of care in 1,222 sufferers with sort 2 diabetes who had lately been hospitalized for worsening coronary heart failure. The main endpoint was the entire quantity of occasions comprised of deaths from cardiovascular causes, hospitalizations for coronary heart failure, and pressing visits for coronary heart failure in sufferers handled with sotagliflozin in contrast with placebo.
