via With one heart failure nod already in the books, Eli Lilly and Boehringer Ingelheim’s diabetes blockbuster Jardiance just racked up another key approval—opening the door to a much wider range of patients.


The U.S. FDA on Thursday blessed Lilly and Boehringer’s Jardiance with a label expansion to curb the risk of cardiovascular death and hospitalization in adults with heart failure.
