Indications & Usage
1 INDICATIONS AND USAGE INPEFA is indicated to reduce the risk of cardiovascular death, hospitalization for heart failure, and urgent heart failure visit in adults with: heart failure or type 2 diabetes mellitus, chronic kidney disease, and other cardiovascular risk factors INPEFA is a sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitor indicated to reduce the risk of cardiovascular death, hospitalization for heart failure, and urgent heart failure visit in adults with: heart failure ( 1 ) or type 2 diabetes mellitus, chronic kidney disease, and other cardiovascular risk factors ( 1 )
Adverse Reactions
6 ADVERSE REACTIONS The following important adverse reactions are described elsewhere in the labeling: Diabetic Ketoacidosis in Patients with Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus and Other Ketoacidosis [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.1 )] Volume Depletion [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.2 )] Urosepsis and Pyelonephritis [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.3 )] Hypoglycemia with Concomitant Use with Insulin and Insulin Secretagogues [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.4 )] Necrotizing Fasciitis of the Perineum (Fournier's Gangrene) [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.5 )] Genital Mycotic Infections [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.6 )] Most common adverse reactions (incidence ≥ 5%) are urinary tract infection, volume depletion, diarrhea, and hypoglycemia.

6.1 Clinical Trials Experience Because clinical trials are conducted under widely varying conditions, adverse reaction rates observed in the clinical trials of a drug cannot be directly compared to rates in the clinical trials of another drug and may not reflect the rates observed in clinical practice.
In the phase 3 (SOLOIST [see Clinical Studies ( 14.1 )] and SCORED [see Clinical Studies ( 14.2 )] ) placebo-controlled trials, 5,896 subjects received INPEFA.
In the SOLOIST study, 336 patients (56%) reached the 400 mg dose.
In the SCORED study, 3,934 patients (74%) reached the 400 mg dose.
In the SOLOIST study, 5.6% of patients in the INPEFA group and 5.4% of patients in the placebo group discontinued therapy due to adverse events (AEs).
In the SCORED study, 5.0% of patients in the INPEFA group and 4.5% of patients in the placebo group discontinued therapy due to AEs.

These changes in serum creatinine and eGFR generally occur within 4 weeks of starting therapy and then stabilize regardless of baseline kidney function.
Changes that do not fit this pattern should prompt further evaluation to exclude the possibility of acute kidney injury.
In studies that included patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus with moderate renal impairment, the acute effect on eGFR reversed after treatment discontinuation, suggesting acute hemodynamic changes may play a role in the renal function changes observed with INPEFA [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.2 ) and Use in Specific Populations ( 8.6 )] .
