Trial Design

2Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Placebo Group
Group I: Sacubitril/valsartanExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Initial dose for patients randomized to sacubitril/valsartan (LCZ696) will be determined by the blood pressure at the time of randomization. Study treatment will be titrated to the next highest dose (dose level 2 or 3) based on blood pressure at the time of visit 2/titration visit. Dose adjustments are only allowed if indicated per protocol defined criteria and per investigator judgement of safety and tolerability. Sacubitril/valsartan (LCZ696) tablet with minimum dose 24/26 mg, maximum dose 97/103 mg twice daily administered orally. Other Name: LCZ696
Group II: PlaceboPlacebo Group1 Intervention
Initial dose for patients randomized to sacubitril/valsartan matching placebo will be determined by the blood pressure at the time of randomization. Study treatment will be titrated to the next highest dose (dose level 2 or 3) based on blood pressure at the time of visit 2/titration visit. Dose adjustments are only allowed if indicated per protocol defined criteria and per investigator judgement of safety and tolerability. Sacubitril/valsartan matching placebo with minimum dose matching the 24/26 mg dose, maximum dose matching the 97/103 mg dose, administered twice daily orally.
