This was a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial enrolling 7,064 participants. The hard clinical primary endpoint was met: pooled empagliflozin was non-inferior and also statistically superior to placebo for 3-point MACE, with 10.5% versus 12.1% of participants experiencing an event (HR 0.86; p=0.0382).

NCT03811548 · Phase 3 · status unknown
This randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial enrolled 442 patients and measured change in HbA1c, a standard diabetes efficacy measure, at 24 weeks. Both the 25 mg and 50 mg doses of janagliflozin significantly outperformed placebo (p<0.001 for both), exceeding the trial's pre-specified superiority margin.
