Study Summary

This study consists of two parts (Part 1 and Part 2). The purpose of Part 1 is to evaluate the way the body absorbs, distributes, metabolizes and removes the drug LCZ696. This will help determine the proper dose of LCZ696 for Part 2 of the study. The purpose for Part 2 is to compare the effectiveness and safety of LCZ696 with enalapril in a double-blind manner, in pediatric heart failure patients over 52 weeks of treatment.

Primary Outcome

The analyses of Cmax was based on plasma concentrations of three sacubitril/valsartan analytes (AHU377 (sacubitril), LBQ657 (sacubitrilat), and valsartan). The plasma levels of sacubitril/valsartan analytes were determined using a validated LCMS/MS method with a lower limit of quantitation (LLOQ) of 1 ng/mL for sacubitril, 20 ng/mL for LBQ657, and 10 ng/mL for valsartan. The PK parameters were determined using the non-compartmental method(s).
