About this study

Official title: Evaluation of the Effect of Double Inhibition of Angiotensin II AT1 Receptor and Neprilysin Activity on Sympathic Nervous System Activity in Patient With Heart Failure

The hyperactivation of the sympathetic nervous system is a feature of the heart failure and the determinants of disease progression and risk of sudden cardiac death. This research project aims to study, in the drug use conditions provided in the summary of product characteristics based on European marketing authorization (indications and dosage), the effect of the Entresto® on the activity of sympathic nervous system using the reference method, the microneurographic recording of sympathetic activity in muscle destiny (MSNA). This study will try to determine if the double inhibition of AT1 receptor and neprilysin activity result in lower sympathic nervous system burst rate versus single AT1 receptor inhibition using angiotensin-converting-enzyme inhibitor or AT1 receptor of angiotensin II inhibitor.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Evaluation of sympathetic nervous system activity as assessed by microneurography recording recording of sympathetic activity in muscle destiny

    Evaluation of sympathetic nervous system activity in burst/minute

    Measured: Up to 8 weeks

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Evaluation of severity of heart failure

    assessed by New York Heart Association stage

    Measured: Day 0

  2. Evaluation of severity of heart failure

    assessed by New York Heart Association stage

    Measured: Day 2

  3. Evaluation of severity of heart failure

    assessed by New York Heart Association stage

    Measured: Up to 4 weeks

  4. Evaluation of severity of heart failure

    assessed by New York Heart Association stage

    Measured: Up to 8 weeks

  5. Comparison of treatment effect on pro-brain natriuretic peptide serum levels at baseline and at the end of treatment period

    pro-brain natriuretic peptide serum levels

    Measured: Day 0 and up to 8 weeks

Timeline

From the start of the study to its completion; the mark is today. Estimated dates are the sponsor’s plan.

  1. First posted1 Jun 2016 (estimated)
  2. Study startOct 2016
  3. Primary completionJan 2018
  4. Study completionJan 2018

Why it stopped: Today Entresto treatment has marketing authorization and is available for all patients, that is the reason why study was halted prematurely.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing valsartan/sacubitril 100 mg, valsartan/sacubitril 200 mg and Microneurography in people with Heart Failure, run by University Hospital, Toulouse at 1 site in France.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 6 inclusion and 12 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 7 Feb 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in France. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study was stopped early (reason given: Today Entresto treatment has marketing authorization and is available for all patients, that is the reason why study was halted prematurely.). Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Evaluation of sympathetic nervous system activity as assessed by microneurography recording recording of sympathetic activity in muscle destiny (time frame: Up to 8 weeks). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 7 Feb 2019.
