The DINAMO phase III trial showed that Jardiance (empagliflozin) significantly reduces HbA1c levels in children and adolescents aged 10-17 with type 2 diabetes, marking it as the first SGLT2 inhibitor to achieve this in a pediatric population. The study demonstrated a reduction of 0.84% in HbA1c at 26 weeks compared to placebo (P=0.012). Safety data were consistent with prior adult studies, reinforcing its safety profile. With rising pediatric diabetes cases, these findings highlight an unmet therapeutic need, particularly for oral agents beyond metformin.
On December 6, 2022, Eli Lilly announced updated results from the Phase 3 monarchE trial of adjuvant Verzenio (abemaciclib) for high-risk early breast cancer patients. With a median follow-up of 3.5 years, an absolute improvement in invasive disease-free survival (IDFS) and distant relapse-free survival (DRFS) was demonstrated at four years, showing 6.4% and 5.9% benefits, respectively. The trial included 5,637 patients and showed a 33.6% reduction in the risk of developing invasive disease. While overall survival data are still immature, administration of Verzenio remains safe and well-tolerated.
