Brief Summary

The primary objective of this prospective randomised study is to assess the safety and tolerability of sacubitril/valsartan compared with standard of care used for treating BP in patients that have been implanted with the Heart Mate 3 LVAD (events of special interest - all cause death, right ventricular failure, bleeding events, deterioration in renal function, hyperkalemia, symptomatic hypotension).

Conditions

  • Heart Failure

Intervention / Treatment

  • Drug: Sacubitril-Valsartan
  • Drug: Standard of care

Primary Outcome Measures

  • Freedom from all-cause death, deterioration in renal function (reaching end-stage renal disease (ESRD), renal death or 50% decline in eGFR), hyperkalemia or symptomatic hypotension (3 months)
    * End-stage renal disease defined as one of the following: 1. Initiation of dialysis (e.g., hemodialysis, peritoneal dialysis, or continuous venovenous hemodialysis), continuing for ≥ 20 days without known recovery of renal function 2. Initiation of dialysis with death before 30 days (excludes dialysis events associated with acute kidney injury with death before 30 days) 3. A drop in eGFR from baseline (randomization, i.e. Visit 101) to a value \<15 mL/min/1.73m2 on two consecutive measurements separated by≥ 20 days 4. Occurrence of kidney transplantation * 50% sustained decline in eGFR: 50% decline from baseline (Randomization, Visit 101) as determined by 2 consecutive post-baseline measurements separated by ≥ 20 days * Hyperkalemia: serum potassium ≥6.0 mmol/L \[mEq/L\]) Hypotension: symptomatic reduction in blood pressure requiring withdrawal of study medication or any BP lowering medication
