About this study

A non-interventional retrospective cohort study conducted to compare the naive sacubitril/valsartan Heart Failure with reduced Ejection Fraction (HFrEF) patient population to a matched naive ACEi/ARB HFrEF patient population.

Read the detailed description

This was a non-interventional retrospective cohort study using the US secondary EHR dataset, Optum EHR, to compare the naive sacubitril/valsartan HFrEF patient population (aged ≥ 18 years) to a matched naive ACEi/ARB HFrEF patient population.

The study comprised of the following periods:

Identification period: 01-Jul-2015 to 31-Mar-2019

Study period

  • 01-Jul-2014 to 31-Mar-2020 for primary objective and secondary objective 2 to 6.
  • 01-Jul-2008 to 30-Sep-2020 for secondary objective 1.

Follow-up period: Patients were followed up until 31-Mar-2020, death or patient transfer out.

Baseline period: 365 days prior to index

What is being measured

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

  1. Rate of Heart Failure (HF) hospitalizations events for both Naive sacubitril/valsartan HFrEF patients and Naive ACEi/ARB Heart Failure with reduced Ejection Fraction (HFrEF) patients

    Heart failure hospitalizations were defined by ICD-9-CM (The International Classification of Diseases, 9th Revision, Clinical Modification) and ICD-10-CM (International Classification of Diseases, 10th Revision, Clinical Modifier) codes for HF listed within the primary diagnoses associated with a hospitalization that occurred during the follow-up period.

    Measured: through study completion, maximum 5 years

Secondary outcomes (7)
  1. Rate of HF hospitalizations events for both Truly naive sacubitril/valsartan HFrEF patients and Truly naive ACEi/ARB HFrEF patients

    Heart failure hospitalizations were defined by ICD-9-CM (The International Classification of Diseases, 9th Revision, Clinical Modification) and ICD-10-CM (International Classification of Diseases, 10th Revision, Clinical Modifier) codes for HF listed within the primary diagnoses associated with a hospitalization that occurred during the follow-up period.

    Measured: through study completion, maximum 5 years

  2. Time to first HF hospitalization for both Naive sacubitril/valsartan HFrEF patients and Naive ACEi/ARB HFrEF patients

    Heart failure hospitalizations were defined by ICD-9-CM (The International Classification of Diseases, 9th Revision, Clinical Modification) and ICD-10-CM (International Classification of Diseases, 10th Revision, Clinical Modifier) codes for HF listed within the primary diagnoses associated with a hospitalization that occurred during the follow-up period.

    Measured: through study completion, maximum 5 years

  3. Rate of HF hospitalizations or Emergency room (ER) visits for both Naive sacubitril/valsartan HFrEF patients and Naive ACEi/ARB HFrEF patients

    HF ER visits were defined by ICD-9-CM and ICD-10-CM codes for HF listed within the primary diagnoses associated with ER visits that occurred during the follow-up period.

    Measured: through study completion, maximum 5 years

  4. Time to first HF hospitalization or HF ER visit for both Naive sacubitril/valsartan HFrEF patients and Naive ACEi/ARB HFrEF patients

    HF ER visits were defined by ICD-9-CM and ICD-10-CM codes for HF listed within the primary diagnoses associated with ER visits that occurred during the follow-up period.

    Measured: through study completion, maximum 5 years

  5. Rate of all-cause hospitalizations events between Naive sacubitril/valsartan HFrEF patients and Naive ACEi/ARB HFrEF patients

    All-cause hospitalizations were defined as any hospitalization that occurred during the follow-up period.

    Measured: through study completion, maximum 5 years

  6. Time to first all-cause hospitalizations events between Naive sacubitril/valsartan HFrEF patients and Naive ACEi/ARB HFrEF patients

    All-cause hospitalizations were defined as any hospitalization that occurred during the follow-up period.

    Measured: through study completion, maximum 5 years

  7. Rates of cardiovascular hospitalization events between Naive sacubitril/valsartan HFrEF patients and Naive ACEi/ARB HFrEF patients

    The rate of cardiovascular hospitalization events between Naive sacubitril/valsartan HFrEF patients and Naive ACEi/ARB HFrEF patients was reported

    Measured: through study completion, maximum 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 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 13 inclusion and 16 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 21 Dec 2021. 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.

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?

Rate of Heart Failure (HF) hospitalizations events for both Naive sacubitril/valsartan HFrEF patients and Naive ACEi/ARB Heart Failure with reduced Ejection Fraction (HFrEF) patients (time frame: through study completion, maximum 5 years). 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 21 Dec 2021.
