What the near Future Holds for Sacubitril/Valsartan: A Summary of Major Ongoing Studies.

ABSTRACT: Early research on neprilysin inhibition showed that sacubitril/valsartan, a combination of the valsartan and the neprilysin inhibitor sacubitril, was superior to enalapril in patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) in the PARADIGM-HF study in 2014. Therefore, for patients with HFrEF, worldwide recommendations have been reformed to include sacubitril/valsartan. In addition, sacubitril/valsartan has been investigated in other cardiovascular disease states, such as patients with heart failure and preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) and following myocardial infarction (MI) events. In February 2021, the FDA expanded the indication use of sacubitril/valsartan to include the HFpEF patient population based on the results of the PARAGON-HF trial. However, randomized clini
