Read the detailed description

Index date was date of 1st prescription of sacubitril/valsartan. Dose titration of sacubitril/valsartan was assessed for a period of 6 months post index date.

What participants receive

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

  • sacubitril/valsartanDrug

    There was no treatment allocation. Patients administered sacubitril/valsartan by prescription that started before inclusion of the patient into the study were enrolled.

What is being measured

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

  1. Age information

    Age information was reported

    Measured: Index date

  2. Gender information

    Gender information was reported

    Measured: Index date

  3. Number of participants by Geographic area

    Geographic area divided into 4 zones- North, South, East and West

    Measured: idex date

  4. Functional Class (New York Heart Association (NYHA) classification)

    The New York Heart Association Functional Classification provides a simple way of classifying the extent of heart failure. It places patients in one of four categories based on how much they are limited during physical activity; the limitations/symptoms are in regard to normal breathing and varying degrees in shortness of breath and/or angina.

    Measured: index date

  5. Body Mass Index

    Median value body mass index was reported

    Measured: Index date

  6. Classification of Heart Failure by etiology

    Coronary artery disease, valvular, rheumatic heart disease, others, unknown.

    Measured: 1.5 years

  7. Change in ventricular function defined by Left Ventricular Ejection Fraction (LVEF)

    An ejection fraction (EF) is the volumetric fraction (or portion of the total) of fluid ejected from a chamber with each contraction (or heartbeat).

    Measured: Index date, 1.5 years

  8. Medical History

    type 2 diabetes, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), anemia, chronic renal disease, atrial fibrillation, stroke, hypertension, myocardial infarction

    Measured: 1.5 years

  9. Number of participants with notable changes in laboratory parameters

    Safety measured by the notable post-baseline changes in laboratory parameters compared to baseline

    Measured: Baseline, 1.5 years

  10. Number of Hospitalizations

    Hospitalizations due to cardiovascular and non-cardiovascular causes

    Measured: 1.5 years

  11. Number of participants with concomitant medications

    Concomitant medications classified as-

    • Medications for HF: Diuretics, digitalis, beta-Blockers, ACEi, ARBs, MRA, ivabradine, SGLT2 inhibitors.
    • Medications for non-HF conditions: Anti-diabetic medications other than SGLT2 inhibitors (oral and injectable), statin, antiplatelet therapy, oral anti-coagulants.

    Measured: up to 6 months pre index date, Up to 6 months post index date

  12. Number of patients with other treatments for heart failure

    Other treatments for heart failure like implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD), and cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT).

    Measured: 1.5 years

Secondary outcomes (9)
  1. Persistence to sacubitril/valsartan

    Defined as time duration from initiation to discontinuation of therapy.

    Measured: Up to 12 months post index date

  2. Proportion of patient discontinuing sacubitril/valsartan

    Reported as frequency (n) and percentage (%).

    Measured: month 2, month 4, month 6, month 8 and month 12

  3. Maximum individual dose reached

    Median value of maximum individual dose reached will be reported

    Measured: 6 months post index date

  4. Time to first dose up-titration

    Median time to first dose up-titration

    Measured: 6 months post index date

  5. Time to target dose

    Median time to target dose

    Measured: 6 months post index date

  6. Individual dose

    The proportion of patients with a starting dose of 50 mg, 100 mg, 200 mg

    Measured: 6 months post index date

  7. Titration patterns

    Listings for all titration patterns which evaluated longitudinally at the patient level as follows:

    • Up-titration' corresponds to all patients who experience an initial increase in sacubitril/valsartan dose post-index,
    • 'Stable up-titration' corresponds to up-titrated patients who experience no subsequent decrease in sacubitril/valsartan dose
    • 'Down-titration' corresponds to all patients who experience an initial dose decrease in sacubitril/valsartan dose post-index, and
    • 'Stable down-titration' corresponds to the proportion of down-titrated patients who experience no subsequent up-titration.

    Measured: 1.5 years

  8. Proportion of patients being titrated to 100mg from 50mg

    Proportion of patients being titrated to 100mg from 50mg

    Measured: 1.5 years

  9. Proportion of patients being titrated to 200mg from 100mg

    Proportion of patients being titrated to 200mg from 100mg

    Measured: 1.5 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Heart Failure, run by Novartis Pharmaceuticals at 1 site in India.

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 2 inclusion and 1 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 18 May 2023. 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 India. 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?

Age information (time frame: Index date). The study lists 12 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 18 May 2023.
