Study population: This was a retrospective, noninterventional cohort study

Who may be able to join

  • Sacubitril/valsartan cohort:
  • Prescribed sacubitril/valsartan within the identification period.
  • With at least one International Classification of Diseases, 9th Revision (ICD)-9 or 10th Revision (ICD-10) code for diagnosis of HF within 30 days prior to the index date (including index date), that had non-missing sex and year of birth data.
  • Active in the database for 759 days prior to index.
  • With left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) ≤ 40% known prior to index day (including index date).
  • That were treated as part of the integrated delivery network (IDN).

  • ACEi/ARB cohort:
  • Prescribed ACEi or ARB within the identification period.
  • With at least one ICD-9 or ICD-10 code for diagnosis of HF within 30 days prior to the index date (including index date), that have non-missing sex and year of birth data.
  • Active in the database for 759 days prior to index.
  • With LVEF ≤ 40% known prior to index day (including index date).
  • That were treated as part of the IDN.

Who cannot join

  • Sacubitril/valsartan cohort:
  • That were < 18 years old at index date.
  • That were prescribed sacubitril/valsartan within the baseline period or identification period (whichever was earlier) at any time prior to the index date (excluding).
  • With one or more ICD-9 or ICD-10 codes for diagnosis of HF within the baseline period, excluding the 30 days prior to index in which HF was initially identified (patient should have had no prior history of HF).
  • That were prescribed ACEi/ARB > 2 days before index date, and within 30 days after a HF diagnosis during the identification period (i.e. any patient included in the ACEi/ARB cohort with an earlier index date, regardless of whether LVEF was ≤ 40% or > 40%)
  • With LVEF ≤ 10% as the closest value to index date (including).

  • ACEi/ARB cohort:
  • That were < 18 years old at index date.
  • That were prescribed sacubitril/valsartan within the baseline period or identification period (whichever was earlier) at any time prior to the index date, on the index date, or until ≤ 2 days after the index date.
  • With one or more ICD-9 or ICD-10 codes for diagnosis of HF within the baseline period, excluding the 30 days prior to index in which HF was initially identified (patient should have had no prior history of HF).

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of de Novo 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 12 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 27 Jul 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 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?

Total number of all-cause hospitalizations (time frame: Up to approximately 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 27 Jul 2023.
