1 Entresto® (sacubitril & valsartan)
Manufacturer: Novartis Pharmaceuticals Corporation FDA Approval Date: July

2 Entresto® - sacubitril/valsartan Clinical Application
Indications: Neprilysin inhibitor and angiotensin II receptor blocker combination to reduce the risk of cardiovascular death and hospitalization for heart failure in patients with chronic heart failure (NYHA Class II-IV) and reduced ejection fraction Place in therapy: Patient who have progressed in severity of their heart failure on optimum ACE inhibitor therapy

3 Entresto® - sacubitril/valsartan Clinical Application
Contraindications Hypersensitivity to any component History of angioedema related to previous ACE inhibitor or ARB therapy Concomitant use with ACE inhibitors Concomitant use with aliskiren in patients with diabetes

4 Entresto® - sacubitril/valsartan Clinical Application
Warnings & precautions Observe for signs and symptoms of angioedema and hypotension Monitor renal function and potassium in susceptible patients

5 Entresto® - sacubitril/valsartan Clinical Application
Pregnancy – contraindicated Lactation – not recommended Pregnancy When pregnancy is detected, discontinue Entresto as soon as possible Direct RAAS agent that can cause injury and death to the fetus Lactation Not recommended Crosses into breast milk of rats Potential for serious adverse reactions

6 Entresto® - sacubitril/valsartan Drug Facts
Pharmacology: Sacubitril – prodrug metabolized to active metabolite (LBQ657), which inhibits neprilysin Neprilisyn – neutral endopeptidase Leads to increase in level of peptides, including natriuretic peptides Valsartan – blocks the angiotensin II type-1 (AT1) receptor Sacubitril MOA – increases concentration of natriuretic peptides Natriuretic peptides induce natriuresis – lets sodium go, letting water go In effect, sacubitril decreases blood volume

7 Entresto® - sacubitril/valsartan Drug Facts
Pharmacokinetics: A Time to peak: 0.5 hrs Time to peak of metabolite: 2 hrs D Protein binding – 94-97% Vd: 103 L M Metabolized by esterases to active metabolite Major metabolite is not metabolized E T1/2 sacubitril: 1.4 hrs T1/2 metabolite: 11.5 hrs

14 Entresto® - sacubitril/valsartan Literature Review
PARADIGM-HF Purpose: To compare the combination of sacubitril/valsartan with enalapril in patients who have HFrEF Design: randomized, double-blind, phase 3 trial 1043 sites in 47 countries McMurray JJV, et al. N Engl J Med. 2014;371(11):

15 Entresto® - sacubitril/valsartan Literature Review
Inclusion Criteria Exclusion Criteria Inclusion Criteria Exclusion Criteria Age >18 years NYHA class II-IV Ejection fraction <40% (amended to <35%) BNP >150 pg/mL or pro- BNP >600 pg/mL Treatment with ACE-I or ARB Symptomatic hypotension SBP <100 mg eGFR <30 ml/min/1.73 m2 or  eGFR >25% Serum K+ >5.2 mEq/L Hx of angioedema or unacceptable side effects during receipt of ACE-I or ARB If the patient had been hospitalized, the BNP cut-off was >100 and pro-BNP >400 For at least 4 weeks prior to screening, pts had to be on a Beta-blocker plus an ACE-I or ARB dose equivalent to at least enalapril 10 mg daily McMurray JJV, et al. N Engl J Med. 2014;371(11):

16 Entresto® - sacubitril/valsartan Literature Review
Intervention: LCZ mg bid vs. enalapril 10 mg bid Primary endpoint: composite of death from cardiovascular causes or a first hospitalization for HF Secondary endpoint: Time to death from any cause Change from baseline to 8 months in clinical summary score (KCCQ) Time to new onset atrial fibrillation Time to first occurrence of a decline in renal function Dose of enalapril chosen based on CONSENSUS and SOLVD trials Run in period – 2 weeks of enalapril and then 4-6 weeks of Entresto Withheld each a day before switching treatments Powered for cardiovascular death – not for primary endpoint in general or for their claim to fame of decreasing hospitalization by 21% McMurray JJV, et al. N Engl J Med. 2014;371(11):

Safety endpoints Entresto (N=4187) Enalapril (N=4212) P-value Hypotension Symptomatic 588 (14.0) 388 (9.2) <0.001 Symptomatic w/ SBP <90 mmHg 112 (2.7) 59 (1.4) SCr > 2.5 mg/dl 139 (3.3) 188 (4.5) 0.007 Serum K >6.0 mmol/L 181 (4.3) 236 (5.6) Cough 474 (11.3) 601 (14.3) SCr >3.0 mg/dL not significant Serum K >5.5 mmol/L not significant Angioedema not significant McMurray JJV, et al. N Engl J Med. 2014;371(11):

20 Entresto® - sacubitril/valsartan Literature Review
Conclusions Entresto’s dual inhibition was more effective in reducing the risk of death from cardiovascular causes or hospitalization for HF than ACE inhibition with enalapril The only significant side effect was symptomatic hypotension, though this did not increase the rate of discontinuation McMurray JJV, et al. N Engl J Med. 2014;371(11):

21 Entresto™ - sacubitril/valsartan Summary
