Study Summary

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of initiation of sacubitril/valsartan vs enalapril treatment on objective measures of both waking activity and sleep in subjects with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction.

Primary Outcome

The primary endpoint is the ratio in mean activity counts collected during the most active 30 minutes of the subject's day between the final randomized treatment phase measurement (mean of endpoint data collected each day during week 8) and baseline phase (mean of endpoint data collected each day during week -1), as measured by wrist-worn accelerometer collected actigraphy (total counts per 30 min period collected during the most active 30 minutes of each day). A ratio \> 1 indicates an increase

Interventions

  • DRUG enalapril
  • DRUG sacubitril/valsartan (LCZ696)
  • DRUG matching placebo sacubitril/valsartan (LCZ696)
