Summary

The aim of this study is to assess the treatment effect of sacubitril valsartan versus conventional therapy for heart failure (HF) in admitted patients due to exacerbation of HF on the N-terminal fragment of pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) concentrations.

Description

The high rate of rehospitalization and mortality of patients hospitalized for acute exacerbation of HF, especially at the early phase after discharge, has long been a serious clinical concern. However, few trials evaluating drug therapies on the post-acute phase of HF showed positive and/or satisfying results. Therefore, it is urgently required to establish an efficient treatment strategy at that phase. Sacubitril valsartan is an angiotensin receptor-neprilysin inhibitor that was approved in Japan in 2020 for patients who are taking standard care of HF.

In this investigator-initiated, multicenter, 8-week, randomized controlled study (PREMIER), the investigators try to assess the effect of in-hospital initiation of sacubitril valsartan, compared to standard HF treatment, in patients who were admitted due to worsening heart failure, on the NT-proBNP concentrations.

Inclusion Criteria

Patients must provide written informed consent themselves to participate in this study
Aged 20 or older at consent (male or female)
Hospitalized due to worsening heart failure with both signs of congestion (such as edema, moist rales, and congestion on chest X-ray) and symptoms of heart failure (such as dyspnea on mild exertion or at rest) (any level of left ventricular ejection fraction)

Can undergo randomization within 7 days of current hospitalization
Patients who meet the following criteria of hemodynamic stability I. Systolic blood pressure ≥100 mm Hg II. No dose increase of intravenous diuretic within 6 hours before randomization III. No intravenous administration of vasodilator (such as carperitide or nitrates) or positive inotropic agent
Patients who meet the following reference range for natriuretic peptide level from 48 hours before current hospitalization to the time of eligibility determination
