Study summary

Real-world evidence of the clinical course of patient symptoms following initiation of sacubitril/valsartan via PROs with a patient-centered study design will provide important evidence of potentially beneficial outcomes associated with the use of this therapy.

Read the detailed description

This is a prospective cohort study of 400 chronic HF patients that will also examine and describe retrospective electronic health record data. We will use the PCORnet (Patient Centered Outcomes Research Network, see "data sources" below) infrastructure to (1) identify a cohort of chronic systolic HF patients initiated on sacubitril/valsartan (N=200) as well as a comparator group of similar HF patients not initiated on sacubitril/valsartan (N=200) but with background ACE/ARB therapy and (2) evaluate baseline and follow-up PROs via an electronic patient reported outcomes (ePRO) form in the eCOS database for 12 weeks.

Study population

400 adult patients with chronic systolic HF in PCORnet. We will focus on chronic systolic HF patients initiated on sacubitril/valsartan and a comparator group not initiated on sacubitril/valsartan sacubitril (but with background ACE/ARB therapy and recent titration of these medications).

Go through the criteria one by one — yes, no or not sure — and take the list to your doctor or the study team. Kept in this browser only.

Inclusion criteria

  • Diagnosis of chronic systolic HF
  • Active care by a provider in a healthcare system connected to a PCORnet data partner
  • Ability to speak and read English (given the use of the English ePRO technology)
  • Newly initiating sacubitril/valsartan (observational sacubitril/valsartan treatment group only - within 1 week of first dose)
  • At least a 25% change ACE/ARB dose (including increase and decrease; or initiation or medication switching to another ACEI/ARB) in the last 6 months (comparator group only)
  • Reliable access to the internet

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria:

  • Inability to provide
  • \< 6 months
  • For comparator group patients: Physician documentation of planned initiation of sacubitril/valsartan within 12 weeks

Other protocol inclusion/exclusion criteria may apply

Terms in these criteria, in plain language(2)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

Informed consent

Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.

You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.

Life expectancy

The study doctor’s estimate of how long someone is likely to live. Criteria use it so that people can stay in the study long enough for it to answer its question.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Change from baseline to 12 weeks in the KCCQ

    Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire (KCCQ) - self-administered, 23-item questionnaire that quantifies physical limitations, symptoms, self-efficacy, social interference and quality of life in patients with heart failure.

    Time frame: Baseline to weeks 2, 4, 8 and 12

Secondary outcomes

  1. Responder analysis for a 5-point improvement in KCCQ to week 12

    Binary response for a 5-point improvement in KCCQ to week 12

    Time frame: Baseline to week 12

Timeline

Tracking since Sep 25, 2026
ElapsedEstimatedEstimated, not yet reachedSimilar studies: half by the dot; the band is the middle halfHalf of similar studies reached it by the dot; the band is the middle half, from a quarter to three quarters

Ran from Feb 2018 to primary completion in Jun 2019, 16 months.

Of 27 observational studies under Heart Failure, Systolic, half reached primary completion within 37 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 21 and three quarters within 53. This study's 16 months is below that.

How these figures are worked out, and which studies are left out of them.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Dec 13, 2019, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
