Built from the registry fields of ClinicalTrials.gov. It describes the study, not your situation.

Who cannot take part

Copied verbatim from ClinicalTrials.gov and grouped by topic. Only the trial team decides who can take part.

Prior treatment

  • Participation in another concurrent intervention study within 30 days or treatment with an investigational drug within 5 half-lives prior to randomization
  • Concomitant use of other angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors or angiotensin II receptor blockers (ARBs), aliskiren, non-steroidal anti-inflammatories (NSAIDs) or lithium or the inability to stop these medications for the study

Other illness

  • Active acute or chronic psychiatric illness that in the opinion of the investigator may prevent compliance with study instructions
  • Greater than mild mitral or aortic valve regurgitation/stenosis known pre-cancer therapy
  • Evidence of Coronavirus (COVID-19) within the last 60 days or recent (21 days) exposure to close personal contact with COVID-19.
  • Greater than moderate tricuspid or pulmonary valve regurgitation/stenosis known pre-cancer therapy
  • Hemodynamically significant congenital heart disease in the opinion of the investigator (not including patent foramen ovale (PFO)/small atrial septal defect (ASD) or small ventricular septal defect (VSD))
  • Constrictive cardiomyopathy diagnosed pre-cancer therapy
  • Family history of genetic cardiomyopathy
  • Symptomatic heart disease based on New York Heart Association (NYHA) classification
  • Allergy to valsartan or sacubitril
  • Inability to complete cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) or 6-minute walk test
  • Inability to measure non-invasive blood pressure and heart rate in the ambulatory/home setting
  • History of severe hypersensitivity reactions to gadolinium-based contrast agents (will perform limited cardiac imaging without contrast)

Lab values

  • Severe kidney disease (glomerular filtration rate (GFR) \<30 milliliters (mL)/minute (min)/1.73 meters squared (m2))
  • Chronic hyperkalemia (\>5millimoles per liter (mmol/L))

Age

  • -Age \<18 years

Other

  • Inability to obtain consent from patient or legally authorized representative
  • Limited English or Spanish proficiency that in the opinion of the investigator may prevent understanding the content of the informed consent form or safely completing the study procedures
  • Greater than moderate pericardial effusion
  • Evidence of infiltrative cardiomyopathy
  • Pregnant/lactating

Who the study is looking for

  • Age \</= 39 years old at time of cancer diagnosis
  • Clinical records adequate to determine diagnosis and treatment regimen
  • Previous anthracycline chemotherapy
  • Global longitudinal strain \<18% and/or
  • Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) below the institutional lower limit of normal but \>/=40% on echocardiogram or cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)
  • No symptoms of heart failure (shortness of breath, fatigue, swelling). Ordinary physical activity does not cause undue fatigue, palpitation, dyspnea (shortness of breath).

Age in the registry: 18 years to 120 years · Sex: All · Does not accept healthy volunteers
