Endpoints collected during the Prospective Comparison of Angiotensin Receptor-Neprilysin Inhibitor vs Placebo in Patients With Congenital Systemic Right Ventricular Heart Failure Trial (PARACYS-RV)

Endpoints Description Visits of endpoints collection
Primary efficacy
 Exercise capacity and neurohormonal activation
  • 1) Submaximal total exercise duration

  • 2) NT-proBNP level

At screening (V1) and at the end of each treatment arm (V9 and V14)
Secondary efficacy
 Quality of life Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire At screening (V1) and at the end of each treatment arm (V9 and V14)
Secondary safety
 Safety of medication Electrolytes (serum potassium level), renal function (creatinine, eGFR, urea), blood pressure
Adverse clinical events occurred during each treatment arm: cough, postural symptoms, angioedema.
At screening (V1), at the halfway time point for each treatment arm (V8 and V13) and at the end of each treatment arm (V9 and V14).
From screening (V1) until end of the follow-up (run in phase, 2 arms phases, and safety period)
Exploratory
 NYHA functional class NYHA class At screening (V1) and at the end of each treatment arm (V9 and V14)
 Occurrence of clinical events Heart failure, hospitalizations, arrhythmias (supraventricular and ventricular), mortality From screening (V1) until end of the follow-up (run in phase, 2 arms phases, and safety period)
 Myocardial injury biomarker High-sensitivity Troponin T level At screening (V1) and at the end of each treatment arm (V9 and V14)
 sRv-biV size and function TAPSe, S’wave, fractional area change, global longitudinal strain, end diastolic area, end systolic area by transthoracic echocardiography At screening (V1) and at the end of each treatment arm (V9 and V14)
 Exercise capacity complementary parameters Anaerobic threshold, functional capacity METs, heart rate response, blood pressure response, oxygen saturation during exercise, respiratory exchange ratio VE/VCO2 slope At screening (V1) and at the end of each treatment arm (V9 and V14)
 Metabolic profile Lipidomic analysis At screening (V1) and at the end of each treatment arm (V9 and V14)
