Participant Flow

This study comprised 3 periods: a 4 week washout and placebo run-in period, an 8 week randomized, double-blind period and a 1 week single-blind, placebo withdrawal period.

In the run-in period, 457 participants were enrolled. Of the 457 participants, 389 participants were eligible for randomization and randomized in a 1:1:1:1 ratio to each treatment group.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 8 weeks, 9 weeks

Population: Only participants from the full analysis, who had values at both week 8 and week 9, were included in the analysis. The FAS included all randomized participants.

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.
