Definitions

  • the present invention relates to novel methods and novel uses in the treatment of heart failure in a patient, in particular in a patient with heart failure (HF) with a reduced ejection fraction (EF) (HFrEF), wherein treatment with sacubitril and valsartan is initiated shortly after an acute decompensation heart failure episode of said patient.
  • HF heart failure
  • EF reduced ejection fraction
  • Heart failure is a global pandemic with an estimated worldwide prevalence of 38 million patients (Ambrosy AP, et al. J Am Coll Cardiol 2014;63: 1 123-33; Writing Group M, Mozaffarian D, et al. Circulation2016; 133:e38-360). In the United States alone, there are more than 1 million admissions for HF as a primary diagnosis per year, representing 1 %- 2% of all hospitalizations (Blecker S, et al. J Am Coll Cardiol 2013;61 : 1259-67;
  • LCZ696 is a first-in-class angiotensin receptor neprilysin inhibitor (ARNI) being developed for the treatment of cardiovascular diseases such as hypertension and/or heart failure.
  • ARNI angiotensin receptor neprilysin inhibitor
  • Ingestion of LCZ696 results in systemic exposure to sacubitril (AHU377; (2R,4S)-5- biphenyl-4-yl-4-(3-carboxy-propionylamino)-2-methyl-pentanoic acid ethyl ester, also named N-(3-carboxy-1-oxopropyl)-(4S)-(p-phenylphenylmethyl)-4-amino-2R- methylbutanoic acid ethyl ester), a neprilysin (neutral endopeptidase 24.11 , NEP) inhibitor (NEPi) prodrug, and valsartan providing inhibition of the angiotensin
  • Sacubitril is further metabolized via esterases to the active NEPi, LBQ657 (N-(3-carboxy- 1-oxopropyl)-(4S)-p-phenylphenylmethyl)-4-amino-(2R)-methylbutanoic acid).
  • Neprilysin degrades biologically active natriuretic peptides (NPs), including atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP), B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) and C-type natriuretic peptide (CNP).
  • NEP atrial natriuretic peptide
  • BNP B-type natriuretic peptide
  • CNP C-type natriuretic peptide
  • NPs acting through the second messenger cyclic guanosine monophosphate, have potent natriuretic and vasodilator properties, inhibit the activity of the renin-angiotensin- aldosterone system (RAAS), lower sympathetic drive and have anti-fibrotic and anti- hypertrophic effects.
  • Angiotensin receptor blockade is specific and competitive at the angiotensin type 1 (AT1) receptor, which mediates the deleterious effects of angiotensin II on the cardiovascular system.
  • AT1 angiotensin type 1
  • LCZ696 through its dual mode of action, potentiates NPs via NEP inhibition while inhibiting the RAAS via AT 1 receptor blockade. Both of these mechanisms are considered to act in a complementary and additive manner to improve the morbidity and mortality of HF patients.
  • HF still represents a major cause of cardiac mortality and morbidity with a clear need for better therapy.
  • the present invention relates to a method of treating heart failure with reduced ejection fraction in a patient comprising administering to said patient in need thereof sacubitril and valsartan in a 1 :1 molar ratio, wherein treatment is initiated shortly after an acute decompensation heart failure (ADHF) episode of said patient.

  • the New York Heart Association (NYHA) classification grades the severity of heart failure symptoms as one of four functional classes.
  • the NYHA classification is widely used in clinical practice and in research because it provides a standard description of severity that can be used to assess response to treatment and to guide management.
  • the New York Heart Association functional classification based on severity of symptoms and physical activity:
  • Class I No limitation of physical activity. Ordinary physical activity does not cause undue breathlessness, fatigue, or palpitations. Class II: Slight limitation of physical activity. Comfortable at rest, but ordinary physical activity results in undue breathlessness, fatigue, or palpitations.
  • Class III Marked limitation of physical activity. Comfortable at rest, but less than ordinary physical activity results in undue breathlessness, fatigue, or palpitations.
  • Class IV Unable to carry on any physical activity without discomfort. Symptoms at rest can be present. If any physical activity is undertaken, discomfort is increased.

  • This invention is based on the clinical trials TRANSITION (NCT02661217) and PIONEER- HF (NCT02554890).
  • NCT02661217 has compared Pre-discharge and Post discharge treatment initiation with LCZ696 therapy in heart failure patients with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) shortly after an acute decompensation heart failure (ADHF) episode. It has been shown that
  • NCT02554890 The clinical trial PIONEER-HF (NCT02554890) was designed to assess the effect of in- hospital initiation of LCZ696 versus enalapril on the time-averaged proportional change in NT-proBNP levels from baseline to Weeks 4 and 8 in hemodynamically stable patients with HFrEF (LVEF £ 40%) following hospitalization for ADHF. It has been shown that
  • LCZ696 was more effective than enalapril in a patient population of patients which identified semselves as black and for whom evidence of ARNi therapy from prior clinical studies was limited.

  • biomarker analysis increase in levels of ANP and cGMP indicated that this dose delivers approximately 90% of its maximal neprilysin inhibition (Gu J, et al. J Clin Pharmacol 2010;50:401-14).
  • the achievement of the target dose is indicative of a patient’s tolerability to the treatment, since the basis for up-titration towards the target dose was based on tolerability (i.e. , incidence of hypotension, renal or hepatic impairment and hyperkalemia) based on clinical evaluation and laboratory assessment of the patient.
