1. Study identification
EU PAS Register NumberEUPAS18214
Official titleNon-interventional post-authorization multi-database safety study to characterize the risk of angioedema and other specific safety events of interest in association with use of Entresto® (sacubitril/valsartan) in adult patients with heart failure
Study title acronym
Study typeObservational study
Brief description of the studySacubitril/valsartan exhibits a novel mechanism of action to treat heart failure (HF) by simultaneously inhibiting neprilysin (neutral endopeptidase; NEP) via LBQ657, the active metabolite of the prodrug sacubitril, and by blocking the angiotensin II type-1 (AT1) receptor via valsartan. It was approved in the European Union (EU) in November 2015 for treatment of symptomatic chronic heart failure with reduced ejection fraction. As agreed with the Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use (CHMP), the Marketing Authorisation Holder of Sacubitril/valsartan will conduct a non-imposed non-interventional Post-Authorization Safety Study (PASS; category 3) to estimate the incidence and relative risks of angioedema, as well as the incidence of hypotension, hyperkalaemia, hepatotoxicity, and renal impairment in adult patients diagnosed with HF (prevalent and incident) newly starting sacubitril/valsartan or using angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEIs). Therefore, a multi-database cohort study with secondary use of five European healthcare databases will be performed. The following databases will be used: CPRD (The Clinical Practice Research Datalink) from the UK; PHARMO (The PHARMO Database Network) from the Netherlands; SIDIAP (Sistema d'Informació per al Desenvolupament de la Investigació en Atenció Primària) from Catalonia, Spain; HSD (Health Search IMS Health Longitudinal Patient Database) from Italy; and the Aarhus University Prescription Database and Danish National Patient Registry from Denmark.
