Primary Objective:
- To demonstrate that sotagliflozin reduces cardiovascular (CV) mortality and morbidity (composite of CV death or hospitalization for heart failure [HHF]) compared to placebo in hemodynamically stable patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D) and heart failure (HF) with left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) <50%, after admission for worsening heart failure (WHF).
- To demonstrate that sotagliflozin reduces cardiovascular (CV) mortality and morbidity (composite of CV death or hospitalization for heart failure [HHF]) compared to placebo in hemodynamically stable patients with T2D and HF irrespective of LVEF after admission for WHF.
Secondary Objectives:
- To demonstrate that, when compared to placebo in the toal patient population, sotagliflozin reduces the total number (i.e., including recurrent events) of the following clinical events:
- Cardiovascular death, HHF or urgent HF visit.
- To demonstrate that, when compared to placebo, sotagliflozin reduces:
- The composite of positively adjudicated sustained ≥50% decrease in eGFR, chronic dialysis, renal transplant or positively adjudicated sustained eGFR <15 mL/min/1.73 m2 in the total patient population.
- Cardiovascular death in patients with LVEF < 50%.
- Cardiovascular death in the total patient population.
- All-cause mortality in patients with LVEF < 50%.
- All cause mortality in the total patient population.
- To demonstrate the safety and tolerability of sotagliflozin in the total population in this study.
