Study of Efficacy of Oral Sacubitril/Valsartan in Adult Patients With Non-obstructive Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy

Trial ID or NCT#

NCT04164732

Status

recruiting iconRECRUITING

Purpose

The purpose of this study is to determine if LCZ696 is safe, tolerable and can improve exercise capacity (via improved peak VO2) in non-obstructive HCM patient population over the course of 50 weeks of treatment.

Official Title

A Multi-center, Randomized, Placebo-controlled Patient and Investigator-blinded Study to Explore the Efficacy of Oral Sacubitril/Valsartan in Adult Patients With Non-obstructive Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy (nHCM)

Eligibility Criteria
