About this study

This study tests the hypothesis that endogenous bradykinin contributes to effects of a combined angiotensin receptor blocker/neprilysin inhibitor (LCZ696 or Entresto)

Read the detailed description

Patients with heart failure (HF) with reduced ejection fraction who qualify for the study will undergo a three-week run-in period in which any prior angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor or angiotensin receptor blocker they were taking will be discontinued and they will be given valsartan 80 mg bid in a single-blind fashion. After the run-in, subjects will undergo four study periods in random order. During two study periods they will receive enalapril 10 mg bid and during two they will receive sacubitril/valsartan (LCZ696) 200 mg bid for seven days. On the seventh day or each period, subjects will complete a study day in which they are randomized to receive either the bradykinin B2 receptor blocker icatibant or placebo intravenously. Each study period will be separated by a three-week washout during which subjects receive valsartan 80 mg bid.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Valsartan 80 mg bid, Enalapril 10 mg bid and Sacubitril-Valsartan 200 mg bid in people with Heart Failure NYHA Class I and Heart Failure NYHA Class II, run by Vanderbilt University Medical Center at 1 site in United States.

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 9 inclusion and 33 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The record says: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 11 Jan 2018. 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 United States. 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. 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 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

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 withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.

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?

change in systolic blood pressure (time frame: 7-hour period after 7-day intervention). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 11 Jan 2018.
