    “Across the EU, more than 47 million people are living with chronic kidney disease and even more with cardio-renal-metabolic conditions,” said Carinne Brouillon, Head of Human Pharma, Boehringer Ingelheim.
  • “We are very excited about the potential for empagliflozin to play a key role in the management of these interconnected cardio-renal-metabolic conditions.”
    “Cardio-renal-metabolic conditions, like chronic kidney disease, type 2 diabetes and heart failure, are a leading cause of death in Europe.
  • We will continue working closely with regulators worldwide so that adults living with chronic kidney disease, and their health care providers, can benefit from empagliflozin as quickly as possible,” continued Leonard Glass, M.D., F.A.C.E., senior vice president, Diabetes & Obesity Global Medical Affairs, Lilly.

Substantial Changes in Management of Patients with Chronic Kidney Disease as New Treatment Options Such as Bayer's Kerendia and SGLT2 Inhibitors Gain Traction in US and EU Markets

Friday, January 20, 2023

EXTON, Pa., Jan. 20, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- With SGLT2 inhibitors increasingly becoming the standard of care for diabetic and non-diabetic CKD patients, the broader CKD treatment has begun to change notably.

Key Points: 
  • Of note, while use of mineralocorticoid antagonists (MRAs) – including the newer option Kerendia (Bayer) – has increased over the past year, nephrologists indicate SGLT2 inhibitors remain their most likely first step for patients.
  • Since the approval of Kerendia in July 2021, the use of MRA products overall (inclusive of Kerendia, spironolactone, and eplerenone) in CKD non-dialysis patients has also grown substantially.
  • This research will build off the inaugural research in 2022 of 1,282 patients collected in collaboration with 263 European nephrologists.
  • Results of Spherix's second annual EU chart audit will publish later this spring with notable changes likely to appear.

DUBLIN, Nov. 15, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- A new study has shown that improvements in drug treatments for diabetes are just as effective as bariatric surgery in fighting diabetic kidney disease.  Until now, bariatric surgery was established as more effective than drug treatments for patients with obesity and diabetes. However, the new study indicates the evidence has changed as the effectiveness of drug treatments has caught up with surgery.

Key Points: 
  • Until now, bariatric surgery was established as more effective than drug treatments for patients with obesity and diabetes.
  • However, the new study indicates the evidence has changed as the effectiveness of drug treatments has caught up with surgery.

Wednesday, September 21, 2022

EXTON, PA., Sept. 21, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) is one of the leading causes of nephrotic syndrome across the world and is considered the most common glomerular cause of end-stage renal disease (ESRD).1 Spherix has been tracking the evolution of the FSGS market since 2018 to keep a pulse on how nephrologists are treating patients and the perceived potential for products as they make their way through development.

Key Points: 
  • Over the past few months, Spherix has released two reports revealing insights from both US-based and EU5-based nephrologists as a part of its Market Dynamix: Focal Segmental Glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) research services.
  • Of note, Spherix experts found that while most FSGS patients are still confirmed via kidney biopsies, nephrologists are becoming increasingly likely to use genetic testing for diagnosis.
  • In fact, reported use of SGLT2 inhibitors in primary FSGS patients more than doubled year-over-year in both regions captured in these studies, with expectations for continued growth.
  • To gauge pipeline product potential, Spherix assessed awareness, familiarity, desire to have approved, likelihood to prescribe, and estimated patient candidacy for the following assets:

Primary Care Providers Report a High Unmet Need for New Therapeutic Treatment Options for Chronic Kidney Disease, Despite Earlier Intervention and Referrals to Nephrologists, Spherix Reports

Wednesday, August 10, 2022

EXTON, Pa., Aug. 10, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Approximately 37 million Americans have chronic kidney disease (CKD)—that is one out of every seven U.S. adults.1 Many of these patients are being managed by primary care physicians (PCPs) but are unaware of their kidney disease. In fact, just 10% of people with chronic kidney disease are aware of their condition.2 As such, referrals to nephrologists often vary and are inconsistent across providers.

Key Points: 
  • In fact, just 10% of people with chronic kidney disease are aware of their condition.2 As such, referrals to nephrologists often vary and are inconsistent across providers.
  • The study found that PCPs are often taking the initial critical steps in disease identification and treatment initiation.
  • This is important, as participating PCPs report their own comfort managing CKD patients wanes drastically as their disease advances.
  • When it comes to treatment, PCPs rank CKD within the top three disease areas that have a "high" unmet need for new therapeutic treatment options.
