What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Change From Baseline in Mean Sitting Diastolic Blood Pressure (msDBP)
Sitting BP measurements were performed at screening through the end of the study at every study visit. A negative change from baseline indicates improvement.
Measured: Baseline, 8 weeks
Secondary outcomes (12)
Change From Baseline in Mean Sitting Systolic Blood Pressure (msSBP)
Sitting BP measurements were performed at screening through the end of the study at every study visit. A negative change from baseline indicates improvement.
Measured: Baseline, 8 weeks
Change From Baseline in 24 Hour Mean Ambulatory DBP and SBP
Hourly mean ambulatory DBP and SBP post-dosing was calculated for each post-dosing hour over 24 hours by taking the average of the readings taken in the corresponding post-dosing hour at randomization and at week 8. A negative change from baseline indicates improvement.
Measured: Baseline, 8 weeks
Change From Baseline in Daytime Mean Ambulatory DBP and SBP
Hourly mean ambulatory DBP and SBP post-dosing was calculated for each post-dosing hour over 24 hours by taking the average of the readings taken in the corresponding post-dosing hour at randomization and at week 8. Daytime mean SBP and DBP were the averages of the hourly means between 6 am and 10 pm. A negative change from baseline indicates improvement.
Measured: Baseline, 8 weeks
Change From Baseline in Nighttime Mean Ambulatory DBP and SBP
Hourly mean ambulatory DBP and SBP post-dosing was calculated for each post-dosing hour over 24 hours by taking the average of the readings taken in the corresponding post-dosing hour at randomization and at week 8. Nighttime mean SBP and DBP were the averages of the hourly means between 10 pm and 6 am. A negative change from baseline indicates improvement.
Measured: Baseline, 8 weeks
Change From Baseline in Mean Sitting Pulse Pressure
Mean sitting pulse pressure is the difference in msSBP and msDBP (msSBP - msDBP). A negative change from baseline indicates improvement.
Measured: Baseline, 8 weeks
Change From Baseline in Mean Ambulatory Pulse Pressure
Mean ambulatory pulse pressure is the difference in maSBP and maDBP (maSBP - maDBP). A negative change from baseline indicates improvement.
Measured: Baseline, 8 weeks
Number of Participants Who Achieved a Successful Response in msDBP
Successful response in msDBP is defined as msDBP <90 mmHg or a reduction ≥ 10 mmHg from baseline.
Measured: 8 weeks
Number of Participants Who Achieved a Successful Response in msSBP
Successful response in msSBP is defined as msSBP <140 mmHg or a reduction ≥ 20 mmHg from baseline.
Measured: 8 weeks
Number of Participants Who Achieved Successful BP Control
BP control is defined as BP < 140/90 mmHg.
Measured: 8 weeks
Trough to Post-dosing Hour Ratio for Change From Baseline in 24-hour Mean Ambulatory DBP
Trough to post-dosing hour ratio at each post-dosing hour = [trough LSM of LCZ696 - trough LSM of placebo]/[post-dosing hour LSM of LCZ696 - post-dosing hour LSM of placebo]
Measured: baseline, 8 weeks
Trough to Post-dosing Hour Ratio for Change From Baseline in 24-hour Mean Ambulatory SBP
Trough to post-dosing hour ratio at each post-dosing hour = [trough LSM of LCZ696 - trough LSM of placebo]/[post-dosing hour LSM of LCZ696 - post-dosing hour LSM of placebo]
Measured: baseline, 8 weeks
Change From Week 8 to Week 9 in msDBP and msSBP After Single-blind Placebo Withdrawal at Week 8
From week 8 to week 9, participants entered a single-blind placebo withdrawal period to assess the effect of LCZ696 on blood pressure following its discontinuation. Participants, who were randomized to the LCZ696 treatment groups, were discontinued from CLCZ696 at the end of week 8 and all 4 treatment groups received single-blind placebo for 1 week post week 8. A positive change from week 8 to week 9 indicates worsening.
Measured: 8 weeks, 9 weeks

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 2 study testing LCZ696 in people with Hypertension, run by Novartis Pharmaceuticals at 34 sites in 5 countries.
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
The sponsor lists 4 inclusion and 10 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 15 Feb 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 34 sites in Japan, China, South Korea, Taiwan, Thailand. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
What does this phase mean?
Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.
Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.
Are results available for this study?
Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 19 Aug 2015). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Change From Baseline in Mean Sitting Diastolic Blood Pressure (msDBP) (time frame: Baseline, 8 weeks). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT01193101, which also lists 2 linked publications.
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 15 Feb 2016.
