Summary

Empagliflozin (Jardiance), a highly potent and selective inhibitor of the sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2), was approved in Europe in May 2014 for the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) to improve glycaemic control in adults. As part of the risk management plan, Boehringer Ingelheim International GmbH (BI) has committed to conduct a post-authorisation safety study (PASS) to evaluate the liver and renal safety of empagliflozin. The study will also evaluate the risks of severe complications of urinary tract infections (UTIs) and genital infections. To evaluate the association between empagliflozin use and mentioned outcomes routinely collected health information from the Clinical Practice Research Datalink (CPRD), the Hospital Episodes Statistics, and Office of National Statistic will be used. This PASS will be conducted through an observational cohort study among adult patients with T2DM and at least 12 months of continuous enrolment in the CPRD where new users of empagliflozin will be compared to new users of dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP4) inhibitors. Estimations will be made on the crude and adjusted incidence rates and adjusted incidence rate ratios of the primary and secondary outcomes.
