Study of Efficacy of Oral Sacubitril/Valsartan in Adult Patients With Non-obstructive Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy
United States, Germany, Greece46 participantsStarted 2020-01-08
Plain-language summary
The purpose of this study was to determine if LCZ696 can improve functional capacity (via improved peak VO2) in non-obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) patient population over the course of 50 weeks of treatment.

AI-rewrites the medical criteria so a patient or caregiver can understand them. Always confirm with the trial site.
Inclusion Criteria:
* Diagnosed with Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy with a left ventricular wall thickness greater than or equal to 13mm as determined by the echocardiogram obtained during the screening/baseline period
* Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) greater than or equal to 50% as determined by echocardiogram obtained during the screening/baseline period
* Symptoms consistent with New York Heart Association (NYHA) Class II-III heart failure by physician assessment, or asymptomatic/NYHA Class I patients with:
* NT-proBNP blood sample levels above 250 pg/ml and
* peak VO2 of less than or equal to 80% of predicted based on age and gender as determined by cardiopulmonary exercise testing
Exclusion Criteria:
* Women of child-bearing potential, defined as all women physiologically capable of becoming pregnant, unless they are using highly effective methods of contraception during dosing and for ≥7 days after stopping study drug
* Patients with a resting or provokable left ventricular outflow tract gradient of greater than or equal to 30mm Hg
* Septal reduction procedure within 3 months of the screening/baseline visit
* History of atrial fibrillation within 6 months of the screening/baseline visit or placement of ICD for secondary prevention
* Patients with a peak VO2 on the screening/baseline cardiopulmonary exercise test of \> 80% of predicted based on age and gender
* Patients who require treatment with ACE inhibitors, angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs), or re…
Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?
Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.
Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
