LCZ696
LCZ696: Angiotensin Receptor Neprilysin Inhibition
Angiotensin
receptor blocker
Inhibition of
neprilysin
LCZ696 is a first-in-class angiotensin receptor neprilysin inhibitor that comprises the
molecular moieties of a neprilysin inhibitor and the angiotensin receptor blocker (ARB)
valsartan as a single compound. •
Neprilysin Inhibition Potentiates Actions of
Endogenous Vasoactive Peptides That Counter
Maladaptive Mechanisms in Heart Failure
Effect of oral administration of LCZ696: change from baseline in
plasma atrial natriuretic peptide immunoreactivity (ANPir) in
Sprague-Dawley rats (n = 4) infused with ANP (450 ng/kg/min);
Effect of LCZ696 200 mg twice
daily versus valsartan 160 mg
twice daily (dose equivalent) in
patients with chronic HF with
preserved ejection fraction
(NYHA class II–III, LVEF =45%,
NT-proBNP >400 pg/mL).

PARADIGM-HF: Study Design
Randomization
LCZ696
PARADIGM-HF Was Designed to Show
Incremental Effect on Cardiovascular Death
The sample size of the trial was determined by effect on
cardiovascular mortality, not the primary endpoint
The Data Monitoring Committee was allowed to stop the
trial only for a compelling effect on cardiovascular
mortality (in addition to the primary endpoint)
Difference in cardiovascular mortality of 15% (relative
reduction) N= 1229 between LCZ696 and enalapril was
prospectively identified as being clinically important
(n=8000 yielded 80% power)
Primary endpoint was a composite:
cardiovascular death or hospitalization for heart
failure, but PARADIGM-HF was designed as a
cardiovascular mortality trial
All-cause mortality(time to death from any cause)
• Change from baseline in the clinical summary
score of the Kansas City Cardiomyopathy
Questionnaire at 8 months
• Time to new onset of atrial fibrillation
• Time to first occurrence of a protocol-defined
decline in renal function
PARADIGM-HF: Secondary Endpoints

1043 centers in 47 countries

In heart failure with reduced ejection fraction, when
compared with recommended doses of enalapril:
LCZ696 was more effective than enalapril in . . .
• Reducing the risk of CV death and HF hospitalization
• Reducing the risk of CV death by incremental 20%
• Reducing the risk of HF hospitalization by incremental 21%
• Reducing all-cause mortality by incremental 16%
• Incrementally improving symptoms and physical limitations
LCZ696 was better tolerated than enalapril . . .
• Less likely to cause cough, hyperkalemia or renal impairment
• Less likely to be discontinued due to an adverse event
• More hypotension, but no increase in discontinuations
• Not more likely to cause serious angioedema

  • 14. PARADIGM-HF Was Designed to Show Incremental Effect on Cardiovascular Death The sample size of the trial was determined by effect on cardiovascular mortality, not the primary endpoint The Data Monitoring Committee was allowed to stop the trial only for a compelling effect on cardiovascular mortality (in addition to the primary endpoint) Difference in cardiovascular mortality of 15% (relative reduction) N= 1229 between LCZ696 and enalapril was prospectively identified as being clinically important (n=8000 yielded 80% power) Primary endpoint was a composite: cardiovascular death or hospitalization for heart failure, but PARADIGM-HF was designed as a cardiovascular mortality trial
