About this study

Official title: The Effect of Sacubitril/Valsartan on Cardiovascular Events Outcome in Maintenance Dialysis Patients With Heart Failure and Efficacy Prediction of Baseline LVEF Value:A Prospective Cohort Study

Patients with end stage renal disease (ESRD), especially after having maintenance dialysis are among the highest risk of heart failure (HF), which is the most important cause that affects survival rate and quality of life. Sacubitril/Valsartan is recommended as a first-line option for treating symptomatic chronic heart failure, especially HF with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF). Sacubitril/Valsartan was reported the different effectiveness in HFrEF and HF with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF), and the clinical trials' results are controversial in HFpEF patients. So far, there have been seven clinical trials (or subgroups of trials) that used sacubitril/valsartan in heart failure patients with chronic kidney disease, only one retrospective study to evaluate the improvement of cardiovascular biomarkers and LVEF in hemodialysis patients who have HFrEF. In addition, there is no article predicting the outcomes of Sacubitril/Valsartan, the inclusion criteria of LVEF value are not consistent. Investigators will perform a prospective, cohort study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Sacubitril/Valsartan on Cardiovascular Events Outcome in Maintenance hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis patients with Heart Failure, and use secondary analysis to find out the range of baseline LVEF Value to predict the therapeutic effects.

Read the detailed description

The trial will examine the effect of Sacubitril/Valsartan on cardiovascular events in HF patients receiving maintenance hemodialysis or peritoneal dialysis. Subjects will be divided into two groups (1:1 matching will be achieved after a screening of propensity score) to receive one of two interventions in addition to standard HF management: Sacubitril/Valsartan group or RAAS inhibitor group. All subjects can have a beta-blocker, CCB, and/or alpha-blockers to control BP. Dialysis treatment: patients normally complete hemodialysis or peritoneal dialysis, need to ensure adequate dialysis requirements, no obvious overload, patients achieve dry weight after dialysis.

Participants will be treated and follow-up for at least 18 months.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Sacubitril / Valsartan Oral TabletDrug

    Sacubitril/Valsartan will start at 50mg bid, when blood pressure can be tolerable, the dose will be gradually increased to 100mg bid after taking for 2-4 weeks, and then the target dose is gradually add to the 200mg bid after another 2-4 weeks. Ensure BP>90/60mmHg, the minimum dose is 50mg bid if the patient can't tolerate higher dose but the blood pressure is stable at low dose.

  • RAS InhibitorsDrug

    RAS inhibitor group allows the use of a monodose of any ACEi or ARB. Ensure BP>90/60mmHg, the minimum dose is half dose if the patient can't tolerate monodose but the blood pressure is stable at half dose.

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Sacubitril/Valsartan treatment groupExperimentalSacubitril/Valsartan will be administered step by step with a titrated dose. When patients switching to Sacubitril/Valsartan from RAS inhibitor, a washout period of at least 36 hours is required to decrease the risk of angioedema. All subjects can have a beta-blocker, CCB, and/or alpha-blockers to control BP. Dialysis treatment: patients normally complete hemodialysis or peritoneal dialysis, need to ensure adequate dialysis requirements, no obvious overload, patients achieve dry weight after dialysis.

What is being measured

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

  1. cardiovascular events

    death from any kinds of cardiovascular diseases

    Measured: at least 18 months

  2. hospitalization for heart failure

    time from the day of enroll to a first unplanned hospitalization for heart failure

    Measured: at least 18 months

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. change rate of cardiovascular events

    change rate of composite of death from cardiovascular diseases or a first unplanned hospitalization for heart failure

    Measured: at least 18 months

  2. NT-proBNP

    the change from baseline to 12 months in the NT-proBNP

    Measured: 12 months

  3. Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire (KCCQ)

    the change from baseline to 1month, 6month,18 months in the clinical summary score on the Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire (KCCQ)25 (on a scale from 0 to 100, with higher scores indicating fewer symptoms and physical limitations associated with heart failure).The Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire (KCCQ) is a 23-item self-administered questionnaire developed to independently measure the patient's perception of their health status, which includes heart failure symptoms, impact on physical and social function, and how their heart failure impacts their quality of life (QOL) within a 2-week recall period. It is an important prognostic variable in cardiovascular disease.

    Measured: 1month, 6month,18 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Sacubitril / Valsartan Oral Tablet and RAS Inhibitors in people with Peritoneal Dialysis Complication and Hemodialysis Complication, run by Shenzhen Second People's Hospital at 1 site in China.

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 5 inclusion and 11 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 8 Oct 2020. 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 China. 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 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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

Contact YI XU (+8613798309505, xuyi20001234@163.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

cardiovascular events (time frame: at least 18 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?
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 8 Oct 2020.
