About

Empagliflozin, a sodium glucose co-transporter 2 (SGLT-2) inhibitor, was launched as a treatment for type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) in the U.S. in August 2014. In contrast with several previous cardiovascular outcomes trials, which failed to demonstrate an association with a higher or a lower risk of cardiovascular outcomes associated with members of other recently marketed antidiabetic classes, the EMPA-REG OUTCOME trial has shown that patients at high cardiovascular risk randomized to empagliflozin vs. placebo, were associated with a reduced risk of hospitalization for heart failure, cardiovascular mortality, and all-cause mortality.

However, these and other findings arising from an extensive clinical trial program aimed at evaluating the efficacy and safety profile for empagliflozin have yet to be demonstrated in a non-trial environment. This study aims to investigate the transferability of the effects demonstrated in dedicated randomized clinical studies to a broader population under real world conditions.
