Patent No. EP3823631 (titled "Methods Of Treating Hfpef Employing Dapagliflozin And Compositions Comprising The Same") was filed by Astrazeneca on Jul 18, 2019. The application was issued on May 20, 2026.
A pharmaceutical composition comprising a compound of Formula (I) or its prodrugs is provided for the treatment and prevention of heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) in non-diabetic human patients. The composition may be administered alone or in combination with other therapeutic agents, including antidiabetic agents (e.g., metformin, saxagliptin, biguanides, DPP4 inhibitors), anti-obesity, anti-hyperlipidemic, anti-hypertensive, anti-platelet, antithrombotic, anticoagulant agents, PPAR $\alpha/\delta$ agonists, FXR agonists, or anorectic agents (e.g., phenylpropanolamine, mazindol). Target patients typically exhibit symptomatic heart failure (NYHA class II-IV), LVEF >40%, and specific NT-proBNP thresholds ($\ge$300 pg/ml without or $\ge$600 pg/ml with atrial fibrillation/flutter). The composition may be formulated as a solid or sterile injectable.

Patent oppositions filed by competitors challenge the validity of a granted patent. These oppositions are typically based on claims of prior art, lack of novelty, or non-obviousness. They are a key part of the process for determining a patent's strength and enforceability.
