AstraZeneca: disappointing results for Farxiga in Covid

(CercleFinance.com) - AstraZeneca has reported disappointing results in the primary analysis of the phase III DARE-19 trial evaluating the potential of Farxiga (dapagliflozin) to treat patients hospitalised with Covid-19 who are at risk of developing serious complications.


The trial failed to reach statistical significance for prevention, measuring organ dysfunction and all-cause mortality, or for recovery, measuring a change in clinical status, at 30 days.

The 30-day safety and tolerability profile of the trial was consistent with the well-established safety profile of the drug. The full results of the trial will be presented at the American College of Cardiology Scientific Sessions in May.
