Trial Outcomes & Findings for Exercise Capacity Study of LCZ696 vs. Enalapril in Patients With Chronic Heart Failure and Reduced Ejection Fraction. (NCT NCT02768298)

NCT ID: NCT02768298

Last Updated: 2021-10-08

Results Overview

Cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) is an established method to evaluate the exercise tolerance of heart failure patients by evaluating the cardio-pulmonary system using the measurement of respiratory gases during physical (exercise) stress. One of the parameters attained by this test is the peak respiratory oxygen uptake (VO2peak). CPET to assess VO2peak was performed at a cycle ergometer at baseline (Visit 2, 9 days prior randomization) and after 6 weeks and 3 months of treatment (Visit 6 and Visit 7, respectively). The VO2peak adjusted to body weight was calculated based on the corresponding visit's VO2peak (unadjusted) and body weight data by using the following formula: VO2peak (unadjusted)/body weight. Higher values of VO2peak indicate less symptom severity and therefore a positive change from baseline indicates improvement.

Cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) is an established method to evaluate the exercise tolerance of heart failure patients by evaluating the cardio-pulmonary system using the measurement of respiratory gases during physical (exercise) stress. One of the parameters attained by this test is the minute ventilation (VE) to carbon dioxide output slope (VE/VCO2 slope). High values of VE/VCO2 slope resembles the inability to eliminate CO2 by respiration (inefficient ventilation). A negative change from baseline indicates less symptom severity.

Population: Full Analysis Set including patients with a valid measurements for the outcome measure.

Cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) is an established method to evaluate the exercise tolerance of heart failure patients by evaluating the cardio-pulmonary system using the measurement of respiratory gases during physical (exercise) stress. CPET was performed at a cycle ergometer with a workload that started at 10 watts (W) and then increased by 10W for each 1-minute stage. Exercise capacity assessed as workload in watts was determined at the ventilatory anaerobic threshold (VAT) which represents the transition from aerobic to partially anaerobic glucose metabolism in muscle, leading to increasing carbon dioxide exhalation in comparison to oxygen uptake. A positive change from baseline in exercise capacity (watt) indicates improvement.

The individually perceived exertion, in terms of perceived dyspnea and perceived fatigue, during cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) was assessed by Borg scale which is a 15 point scale, starting from 6 which indicates "No exertion at all" to 20 which means "Maximal exertion". Change in Borg scale for both perceived dyspnea and perceived fatigue were measured at different time points at Baseline (Visit 2, 9 days prior randomization) and 3 months of treatment (Visit 7). Maximum value among the time points at every visit was used for the analysis. A negative change from baseline in Borg value of perceived dyspnea and perceived fatigue indicates improvement.
