What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Area Under the Plasma Concentration-time Profile From Time Zero to the Time of the Last Quantifiable Concentration (AUClast) of LCZ696 Analytes (AHU377, LBQ657, and Valsartan)

    Blood samples were taken on Day 1 (treatment day) within 60 minutes prior to dosing, then, 0.5,1,1.5,2,3,4,6,8,12 hours after the dosing and on Days 2, 3, 4 and 5 post dosing

    Measured: From pre-dose on Day 1 until 96h post-dose (Day 5)

  2. Area Under the Plasma Concentration-time Profile From Time Zero Extrapolated to Infinite Time [AUCinf)] of LCZ696 Analytes (AHU377, LBQ657, and Valsartan)

    Blood samples were taken on Day 1 (treatment day) within 60 minutes prior to dosing, then, 0.5,1,1.5,2,3,4,6,8,12 hours after the dosing and on Days 2, 3, 4 and 5 post dosing

    Measured: From pre-dose on Day 1 until 96h post-dose (Day 5)

  3. Maximum Plasma Concentration (Cmax) for LCZ696 Analytes (AHU377, LBQ657, and Valsartan)

    Blood samples were taken on Day 1 (treatment day) within 60 minutes prior to dosing, then, 0.5,1,1.5,2,3,4,6,8,12 hours after the dosing and on Days 2, 3, 4 and 5 post dosing

    Measured: From pre-dose on Day 1 until 96h post-dose (Day 5)

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Number of Participants With Adverse Events, Serious Adverse Events and Death

    Adverse events, serious adverse events and death were monitored from screening to end of study

    Measured: From the screening visit until Day 5

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing LCZ696 in people with Hepatic Impairment, run by Novartis Pharmaceuticals at 1 site in Germany.

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 5 inclusion and 13 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 10 Aug 2015. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Germany. 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. 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 10 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?

Area Under the Plasma Concentration-time Profile From Time Zero to the Time of the Last Quantifiable Concentration (AUClast) of LCZ696 Analytes (AHU377, LBQ657, and Valsartan) (time frame: From pre-dose on Day 1 until 96h post-dose (Day 5)). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 10 Aug 2015.
