- Randomised controlled trial
- phase II
- open-label
- multicentre
- 2:1 randomisation
- Enrolment May 2018 to October 2021
Authors' conclusion
In patients with HCM, a 16-week treatment with sacubitril/valsartan was well tolerated but had no effect on exercise capacity, cardiac structure, or function.
Study context
- Population
- Adults with symptomatic non-obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) (NYHA class I–III)354 screened
- Participants
- 115 adults
- Comparison

- Controln = 36reference
- Primary endpoint
- Change in peak VO2
- Follow-up
- 16 weeks
Primary result
As reported in the abstract
Peak VO2, change from baseline
Sacubitril/valsartan: no significant change from baseline (15.3 [4.3] vs 15.9 [4.3] ml/kg/min)
p = 0.13
Control: no significant change from baseline
p = 0.47
Secondary outcomes
BP, cardiac structure and function, plasma biomarkers, quality of life
- No clinically significant changes
