Brief summary
This study was to determine early and more chronic changes in concentrations of biomarkers related to mechanisms of action (MOA) and effects of sacubitril/valsartan therapy over a period of 12 months, and correlated these biomarker changes with cardiac remodeling parameters, patient-reported outcomes and cardiovascular outcomes.
Interventions
LCZ696 (sacubitril/valsartan) was supplied as unscored, ovaloid, film-coated oral tablets in the strengths of 24/26 mg, 49/51 mg, 97/103 mg to be taken twice daily (bid)

Inclusion criteria
Based on the USPI for sacubitril/valsartan, subjects eligible for inclusion in this study must fulfill all of the following criteria at screening and baseline: 1. Written informed consent must be obtained before any assessment is performed. 2. Men and women ≥ 18 years of age. 3. LVEF ≤ 40% subjects who are candidates for on-label sacubitril/valsartan treatment per standard of care. 4. New York Heart Association (NYHA) Functional class II-IV. 5. LVEF ≤40% via any local measurement within the past 6 months using echocardiography, multi gated acquisition scan (MUGA), CT scanning, MRI or ventricular angiography provided no subsequent study documenting an EF of \>40%. If the EF measurement is expressed as a value range, the average of the range endpoint values should be used as the EF. 6. If a subject is on a loop diuretic, they must be on a stable dose for 2 weeks prior to baseline. Key
Exclusion criteria
Subjects fulfilling any of the following criteria, at screening and prior to dispensing of study drug, are not eligible for inclusion in this study. No additional exclusions may be applied by the investigator, in order to ensure that the study population will be representative of all eligible subjects/subjects. 1. pregnant or nursing women 2. women of child bearing potential not using highly effective method of contraception during dosing and for 7 days after stopping study medication 3.

| LCZ696(Sacubitril/Valsartan) Subjects received sacubitril/valsartan (LCZ696) on Day 1. The initial dose was determined by the investigator and per the approved indication described in the United States prescribing information/package insert (USPI). The three doses available were: 24/26 mg (Dose Level 1), 49/51mg (Dose Level 2) and 97/103mg (Dose Level 3).
Titration of the dosage were performed per USPI at 2 to 4 week intervals as clinically tolerated until maximal tolerated or target dosage was achieved. Target dosage was sacubitril/valsartan 97/103 mg twice daily. | 794 |
