About this study

NATRIUM-HF is a multicenter, non-randomized, pre-post intervention study designed to assess renal response to intravascular fluid expansion and diuretics after sacubitril/valsartan (Entresto®) in euvolemic heart failure patients with reduced ejection fraction. Approximately 230 eligible patients will attend one visit prior to and visits 2 and 3 months after starting Entresto®. At each visit, the patient's responses to extravascular fluid expansion with Ringer's solution and to a loop diuretic bolus will be measured. Biomarkers measured in blood and urine samples will include natriuretic peptides (NP) B-type NP (BNP) and N-terminal proBNP (NT-proBNP), NP fragments, neprilysin activity and concentration, and other biomarkers related to heart failure.

Read the detailed description

NATRIUM-HF is a multicenter, non-randomized, pre-post intervention study designed to assess renal response to intravascular fluid expansion and diuretics after sacubitril/valsartan (Entresto®) in euvolemic heart failure patients with reduced ejection fraction.

Ambulatory patients with HFrEF who remain symptomatic despite optimal treatment for more than 3 months with an ACEi or ARB, a beta-blocker and a mineralocorticoid receptor antagonist (MRA) for whom sacubitril/valsartan is indicated and is about to be initiated will be enrolled. Approximately 230 patients will attend three outpatient visits: before, and 2 months and 3 months after initiation of, or switch from treatment with angiotensin-converting-enzyme inhibitor (ACEi) or angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB) to, oral treatment with the angiotensin receptor-neprilysin inhibitor (ARNi) sacubitril/valsartan (Entresto®). Patient's responses to fluid expansion and diuretic administration will be assessed at each study visit.

The same procedures will be followed at each visit. First, baseline vital signs, clinical assessments (dyspnea score, jugular vein distension, peripheral edema score, pulmonary rales), and blood samples will be obtained. Urine will be collected over a period of 3 hours and urine samples will be obtained from the collected urine at the end of the 3-hour collection period, and vital signs and clinical assessments will be obtained.

This will be followed by an infusion of 0.5 liter Ringer's (8.6 g/L sodium chloride, 0.33 g/L calcium chloride, 0.3 g/L potassium chloride) solution infused in 10 min followed by an infusion of 0.5 liter over 1 hour 50 minutes. Of note 1liter Ringer's contains 8.6 g or 374 mmol of sodium. 1 hour after the end of the infusion, clinical assessments (dyspnea score, jugular vein distension, peripheral edema score, pulmonary rales) and blood samples will be obtained. Urine will be collected over a period of 3 hours and urine samples will be obtained from the collected urine at the end of the 3-hour collection period.

After the second set of blood and urine samples are obtained, 40 mg of furosemide will be given IV and blood samples will be obtained thereafter hourly for 3 hours. Urine will be collected over a period of 3 hours and urine samples will be obtained from the collected urine at the end of the 3-hour collection period, and vital signs and clinical assessments will be obtained.

Biomarkers measured in blood and urine samples will include natriuretic peptides (NP) B-type NP (BNP) and N-terminal proBNP (NT-proBNP), NP fragments, neprilysin activity and concentration, and other biomarkers related to heart failure.

The aim of NATRIUM-HF is to assess the change in natriuretic response to intravascular fluid expansion and diuretics in euvolemic patients with heart failure and reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) after initiation of, or switch from ACEi/ARB to, sacubitril/valsartan (Entresto®) therapy.

What is being measured

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

  1. Natriuretic response to intravascular volume expansion

    The average change in natriuretic response to intravascular volume expansion from before to 2 and 3 months after initiation of sacubitril/valsartan therapy. Natriuretic response is defined as the cumulative sodium excretion over the 3 hours of intravascular volume expansion and follow up.

    Measured: 2 and 3 months

  2. Natriuretic response to IV diuretic administration

    The average change in cumulative natriuresis during the first 3 h following the bolus IV furosemide administration from before to 2 and 3 months after initiation of sacubitril/valsartan therapy.

    Measured: 2 and 3 months

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Natriuretic peptide (NP) response to intravascular volume expansion

    Change from from before to 2 and 3 months after initiation of sacubitril/valsartan therapy in the average change over the 2-hour Ringer's infusion and follow up in plasma NP levels from just prior to the start of the infusion.

    Measured: 2 and 3 months

  2. Natriuretic peptide response to IV diuretic administration

    Change from before to 2 and 3 months after initiation of sacubitril/valsartan therapy in the average change in NP level from the end of the Ringer's infusion to 3 hours following the bolus IV furosemide administration

    Measured: 2 and 3 months

  3. Diuretic response

    Change from before to 2 and 3 months after initiation of sacubitril/valsartan therapy in the urine volume excreted over the 3 hours following the bolus IV furosemide administration

    Measured: 2 and 3 months

  4. 4. Changes in dyspnea as measured by a 1-10 scale in response to intravascular fluid expansion, and diuretic administration

    Change from before to 2 and 3 months after initiation of sacubitril/valsartan therapy in the average change from just prior to the Ringer's infusion start to one hour following the 2-hour Ringer's infusion and from just prior to the IV bolus furosemide administration to 3 hours following the bolus IV furosemide administration

    Measured: 2 and 3 months

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 18 Apr 2022. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 13 sites in Russia, Armenia, Bosnia and Herzegovina. 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.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

Natriuretic response to intravascular volume expansion (time frame: 2 and 3 months). 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?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT04235062, which also lists 4 linked publications.

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 18 Apr 2022.
