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.

    The analyses of Tmax 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).

    Time frame: Age group 1: Pre-dose and 0.5, 1, 2, 4, 8, 10, optional 24 hours post-dose on Day 1 of Period 1 and 2; Age groups 2 and 3: Pre-dose and 1, 2, 4, 10, optional 24 hours post-dose on Day 1 of Period 1 and 2

  3. Part 1: Pharmacokinetics of LCZ696 Analytes (Sacubitril, LBQ657, and Valsartan): Area Under the Plasma Concentration-time Curve From Time Zero to Infinity (AUCinf)

    The analyses of AUCinf 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.

    As prespecified in protocol and SAP the analysis of this outcome measure was done based on dose of LCZ696 administered within the different age groups.

    Time frame: Age group 1: Pre-dose and 0.5, 1, 2, 4, 8, 10, optional 24 hours post-dose on Day 1 of Period 1 and 2; Age groups 2 and 3: Pre-dose and 1, 2, 4, 10, optional 24 hours post-dose on Day 1 of Period 1 and 2

  5. Part 1: Pharmacokinetics of LCZ696 Analytes (Sacubitril, and Valsartan): Clearance From Plasma (CL/F)

Secondary outcomes

  1. Part 1: Percentage of Participants With Treatment Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs)

TEAEs during part 1 are defined as any recorded AE with its start date (recorded or imputed) later than or equal to the date of the first dose of the study drug within part 1 and its start date prior to or equal to the end date of the part 1.

    Time frame: From first dose to 30 days after last dose of study drug in Part 1

  2. Part 2: Percentage of Participants With Treatment Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs)

    An AE is any untoward medical occurrence associated with use of a drug in humans, whether or not considered drug related, that occurs after a participant provides informed consent. TEAEs during part 2 are defined as any recorded AE with its start date (recorded or imputed) later than or equal to the date of the first dose of the study drug within part 2 and its start date prior to or equal to the end date of part 2.

    Time frame: From first dose to 30 days after last dose of study drug in Part 2 (up to 56 weeks)

  4. Part 2: Percentage of Participants With Change From Baseline in New York Heart Association (NYHA)/Ross Functional Class

    NYHA classification is a subjective physician's assessment of participant's functional capacity and symptomatic status and can change frequently over time. NYHA is tool that classifies participants with heart failure into one of four classes according to their degree of symptoms at rest and with activity. Class I: No limitations of physical activity. Class 2: May experience fatigue, palpitations, dyspnea, or angina during moderate exercise but not during rest. Class 3: Symptoms with minimal exertion that interfere with normal daily activity. Class 4: Unable to carry out any physical activity because they typically have symptoms of HF at rest that worsen with any exertion. Participants with change from baseline were classified as improved (shifted from higher to lower class), unchanged (no change in class) or worsened (shifted from lower to higher class).

    Time frame: Baseline, Week 4, 12, 24, 36, and 52

  5. Part 2: Percentage of Participants With Change From Baseline in Patient Global Impression of Severity (PGIS) Score

    PGIS of Heart Failure Symptoms is a 1-item questionnaire to assess the participant's impression of symptoms severity, specifically: shortness of breath, fatigue and swelling. The PGI-S asks the participant to choose one response that best describes how his/her heart failure symptoms, specifically: shortness of breath, fatigue and swelling are now on a 5-point scale, ranging from 'Not at all' (1) to 'Very severe' (5). C1 = none (good), C2 = mild, C3 = moderate, C4 = severe, C5 = very severe (bad). Percentage of participants by change in score are reported. Participants with change from baseline were classified as improved (shifted from higher to score), unchanged (no change in score) or worsened (shifted from lower to higher score).

PrimaryPart 1: Pharmacokinetics of LCZ696 Analytes (Sacubitril, LBQ657, and Valsartan): Maximum Drug Concentration in Plasma (Cmax)

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).

Time frame:
Age group 1: Pre-dose and 0.5, 1, 2, 4, 8, 10, optional 24 hours post-dose on Day 1 of Period 1 and 2; Age groups 2 and 3: Pre-dose and 1, 2, 4, 10, optional 24 hours post-dose on Day 1 of Period 1 and 2

SecondaryPart 2: Percentage of Participants With Change From Baseline in New York Heart Association (NYHA)/Ross Functional Class

NYHA classification is a subjective physician's assessment of participant's functional capacity and symptomatic status and can change frequently over time. NYHA is tool that classifies participants with heart failure into one of four classes according to their degree of symptoms at rest and with activity. Class I: No limitations of physical activity. Class 2: May experience fatigue, palpitations, dyspnea, or angina during moderate exercise but not during rest. Class 3: Symptoms with minimal exertion that interfere with normal daily activity. Class 4: Unable to carry out any physical activity because they typically have symptoms of HF at rest that worsen with any exertion. Participants with change from baseline were classified as improved (shifted from higher to lower class), unchanged (no change in class) or worsened (shifted from lower to higher class).

SecondaryPart 2: Percentage of Participants With Change From Baseline in Patient Global Impression of Severity (PGIS) Score

PGIS of Heart Failure Symptoms is a 1-item questionnaire to assess the participant's impression of symptoms severity, specifically: shortness of breath, fatigue and swelling. The PGI-S asks the participant to choose one response that best describes how his/her heart failure symptoms, specifically: shortness of breath, fatigue and swelling are now on a 5-point scale, ranging from 'Not at all' (1) to 'Very severe' (5). C1 = none (good), C2 = mild, C3 = moderate, C4 = severe, C5 = very severe (bad). Percentage of participants by change in score are reported. Participants with change from baseline were classified as improved (shifted from higher to score), unchanged (no change in score) or worsened (shifted from lower to higher score).

SecondaryPart 1 and Part 2: Population PK of LCZ696 Analytes: Clearance From Plasma (CL)

The analyses of CL was based on plasma concentrations of three sacubitril/valsartan analytes (AHU377 (sacubitril), LBQ657 (sacubitrilat), and valsartan). The PK parameters were determined using the non-compartmental method(s). In case of data limitations for estimating PK parameters using non-compartmental methods, a population PK approach was used to estimate exposure of sacubitril/valsartan analytes. The population PK model was developed to describe incoming data from pediatric patients based on an established model developed for the adult population.
