Study Endpoints
Primary Endpoints
Change From Baseline in N-terminal Pro-brain Natriuretic Peptide (NT-proBNP) at Week 12
Baseline, week 12

To demonstrate that LCZ696 is superior to individualized medical therapy for comorbidities in reducing NT-proBNP from baseline at Week 12 in patients with HFpEF

Change From Baseline in 6 Minute Walk Distance (6MWD) at Week 24
Baseline, week 24

Change from baseline in 6-minute walk distance (6MWD) will be reported at Week 24. The 6 MWT will be performed in accordance with the guidelines of the American Thoracic Society 2002.

ArmTypeDescription
sacubitril/valsartan (LCZ696)EXPERIMENTALAll patients who fulfill the inclusion/exclusion criteria will be stratified before randomization based upon prior therapy for comorbidities to one of 3 strata: ACEi, ARB or no RASi. Patients in the ACEi strata will receive LCZ696 or enalapril. Patients in the ARB strata will receive LCZ696 or valsartan. Patients in the no RASi strata will receive LCZ696 or matching placebo. Patients in the ACEi and ARB strata will take two pills twice daily for each dose: one tablet from the LCZ696 pack and one tablet from the comparator pack. Patients in the no RASi strata will take only one tablet twice daily (LCZ696 or matching placebo). In the LCZ696 arm, patients will receive active LCZ696 in titrated doses from level 1 up to level 3 (50 mg, 100 mg and 200 mg twice daily orally).
ComparatorACTIVE_COMPARATORPatients randomized to the comparator arm will receive either enalapril (ACE stratum) valsartan (ARB stratum) or LCZ696 matching placebo (no RASi stratum). Patients in the ACE stratum randomized to comparator, will receive enalapril in titrated doses from level 1 up to level 3 (2.5 mg, 5 mg and 10 mg twice daily). Patients in the ARB stratum randomized to comparator will receive valsartan in titrated doses from level 1 up to level 3 (40 mg , 80 mg and 160 mg twice daily). Patients in the no RASi stratum randomized to comparator will receive LCZ696 matching placebo.
