$LXRXPress releaseOct 21, 2026, 8:30 AM ETRead the release

Lexicon highlighted two newly published preclinical studies of sotagliflozin showing improved cardiac structure and function in a mouse model of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and reduced platelet activation and thrombus formation versus the SGLT2-selective comparator empagliflozin. The investigator-initiated, Lexicon-funded studies support the differentiated biology of dual SGLT1/SGLT2 inhibition and may help explain previously observed reductions in myocardial infarction and stroke risk.
