Experimental: LCZ696
Single Blind Run-in Period (3-8 weeks): Patients will start on Valsartan 80 mg b.i.d. for 1-2 weeks followed by LCZ696 100 mg b.i.d. for 2-4 weeks prior to randomization into the Double Blind period (up to 57 months). Patients can only be randomized from the run-in period if they meet all of the run-in safety criteria. Target dose of LCZ696 during the double blind period is 200 mg b.i.d.
|
Drug: LCZ696
LCZ696 50mg, 100mg and 200 mg dosage strengths will be available for dose adjustments. |

Active Comparator: Valsartan
Single Blind Run-in Period (3-8 weeks): Patients will start on Valsartan 80 mg b.i.d. for 1-2 weeks followed by LCZ696 100 mg b.i.d. for 2-4 weeks prior to randomization into the Double Blind period (up to 57 months). Patients can only be randomized from the run-in period if they meet all of the run-in safety criteria. Target dose of Valsartan during the double blind period is 160 mg b.i.d.

Drug: Valsartan
Valsartan 40mg, 80mg and 160mg dosage strengths will be available for dose adjustments. |
Primary Outcome Measures :
- Cumulative number of primary composite events of cardiovascular (CV) death and total (first and recurrent) HF hospitalizations. [ Time Frame: Total follow up time (up to 57 months) ]The primary objective of this study is to compare LCZ696 to valsartan in reducing the rate of the composite endpoint of CV death and total (first and recurrent) HF hospitalizations, in HF patients (New York Heart Association [NYHA] Class II-IV) with preserved ejection fraction (left ventricular ejection fraction [LVEF] ≥45%). The treatment arm with the lower rate of events will be deemed as having a successful response.
Secondary Outcome Measures :
- Change in the clinical summary score from baseline to Month 8 by Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire (KCCQ) [ Time Frame: Baseline, 8 months ]Evaluation of change from baseline to month 8 in KCCQ a most sensitive, specific, and responsive health-related quality of life measure for heart failure symptoms and physical limitations.
- Change from baseline to Month 8 in New York Heart Association (NYHA) functional class [ Time Frame: Baseline, 8 months ]Evaluation of change from baseline to Month 8 in NYHA functional class, a well established grading scale used to classify a HF patients' level of functionality based on the signs and symptoms of HF exhibited by the patient.
- Time to first occurance of a composite renal endpoint [ Time Frame: Total follow up time (up to 57 months) ]
Evaluate significance of outcome modifying agents in worsening renal dysfunction.
Composite renal endpoint defined as follows:
- renal death, or
- reaching ESRD, or
- ≥50% decline in eGFR relative to baseline
- Time to all-cause mortality [ Time Frame: Total follow up time (up to 57 months) ]Evaluation of the time to all cause death.

Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:
- Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) ≥45% by echo during screening epoch or within 6 months prior to study entry.
- Symptom(s) of heart failure (HF) and requiring treatment with diuretic(s) for HF at least 30 days prior to study entry.
- Current symptom(s) of HF
- Structural heart disease (left atrial enlargement or left ventricular hypertrophy) documented by echocardiogram.
- Elevated NT-proBNP
Exclusion Criteria:
- Any prior measurement of LVEF < 40%.
- Acute coronary syndrome (including MI), cardiac surgery, other major CV surgery within 3 months , or urgent percutaneous coronary intervention within 3 months or and elective PCI within 30 days prior to entry.
- Any clinical event within the 6 months prior to entry could have reduced the LVEF (e.g., MI, CABG), unless an echo measurement performed after the event confirms a LVEF ≥45%.
- Current acute decompensated HF requiring therapy.
- Patients who require treatment with 2 or more of the following: an angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor (ACEI), an angiotensin receptor blocker (ARB) or a renin inhibitor.
- Alternative reason for shortness of breath such as: significant pulmonary disease or severe COPD, hemoglobin (Hgb) <10 g/dl, or body mass index (BMI) > 40 kg/m2.
- Systolic blood pressure (SBP) ≥ 180 mmHg at entry, or SBP >150 mmHg and <180 mmHg at entry unless the patient is receiving 3 or more antihypertensive drugs, or SBP < 110 mmHg at entry.
Other protocol-defined inclusion/exclusion criteria may apply.
