Arm Description

After randomization, patients in this arm received LCZ696 (Sacubitril/Valsartan) twice daily and matching placebo of Enalapril depending on the patient's previous ACEI/ARB dose (enalapril equivalent dose) for 2 weeks. Patients could start study medication at dose level 1 (24 mg/26 mg LCZ), 2 (49 mg/51 mg LCZ) or 2a (49 mg/51 mg LCZ) or matching placebo bid. After 2 weeks (visit 3) the doses were up-titrated: patients, who started on dose level 2 or 2a received the target dose of study medication (level 3) at this point. After another 2 weeks (visit 4) all patients were to achieve the target dose of 97 mg/103 mg bid LCZ696(sacubitril/valsartan) and matching placebo, provided no safety and tolerability issues arised during uptitration.

The impact of LCZ696 (Sacubitril/Valsartan) and Enalapril on functional exercise capacity was measured by the Six Minute Walk Test at 12 weeks. The 6MWT measures the distance an individual is able to walk over a total of six minutes on a hard, flat surface. The goal is for the individual to walk as far as possible in six minutes. The individual is able to self-pace and rest as needed as they traverse back and forth along a marked walkway.
Change From Baseline (Week 0) in Mean Daily Non-sedentary Daytime Activity at End of Study (Week 12)
Non-sedentary physical activity is defined as >= 178.50 activity counts per minute; the average number of minutes per day spent in non-sedentary physical activity is being calculated over 14 days before randomization (baseline i.e. week -2 to week 0) and the last 14 days of treatment (i.e. week 10 to week 12).

Brief Summary
The purpose of this randomized, actively controlled, double-blind study with prospective data collection was to assess differences between sacubitril/valsartan versus enalapril in increasing exercise capacity and non-sedentary physical activity in HFrEF patients. Physical activity was assessed by the 6 minute walk test, and daily physical activity was continuously measured by means of a wrist-worn accelerometry device from 2 weeks before until 12 weeks after start of study therapy (sacubitril/valsartan or enalapril).
