Heart failure (HF) is one of the main comorbidities in patients receiving maintenance hemodialysis (HD). Sacubitril/valsartan (SAC/VAL) is widely used in HF patients with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) or HF mid-range ejection fraction (HFmrEF). However, the pharmacokinetic (PK) and pharmacodynamic properties of SAC/VAL in HD patients with HF remain uncertain.
This study aimed to analyze the efficacy and PK properties of SAC/VAL in HD patients with HFrEF or HFmrEF.
HD patients with HFrEF or HFmrEF were treated with SAC/VAL 50 or 100 mg twice a day (BID) and the concentrations of valsartan and LBQ657 (active metabolite of SAC) were determined by high-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry during HD and on the days between HD sessions (interval days). N-terminal-pro B-type natriuretic peptide and high-sensitivity troponin T were measured, and left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) was evaluated by echocardiography.
The mean maximum plasma concentrations (Cmax) of LBQ657 and VAL on the interval days were 15.46 ± 6.01 and 2.57 ± 1.23 mg/L, respectively. Compared with previous values in patients with severe renal impairment and healthy volunteers, these levels both remained within the safe concentration ranges during treatment with SAC/VAL 100 mg BID. Moreover, SAC/VAL significantly improved LVEF in HD patients with HFrEF or HFmrEF (p < 0.05).
HD did not remove the SAC metabolite LBQ657 or VAL in patients with HF. However, SAC/VAL 100 mg BID was safe and effective in patients undergoing HD.
心力衰竭(HF)是接受维持性血液透析(HD)患者的主要合并症之一。沙库巴曲缬沙坦(SAC/VAL)广泛用于射血分数降低的心力衰竭(HFrEF)或射血分数中等范围的心力衰竭(HFmrEF)患者。然而,SAC/VAL在HD合并HF患者中的药代动力学(PK)和药效学特性仍不确定。
本研究旨在分析SAC/VAL在HFrEF或HFmrEF的HD患者中的疗效和PK特性。
对HFrEF或HFmrEF的HD患者,每天两次(BID)给予50或100mg SAC/VAL治疗,在HD期间及HD疗程之间的日子(间隔日),通过高效液相色谱-串联质谱法测定缬沙坦和LBQ657(SAC的活性代谢物)的浓度。检测N末端B型利钠肽原和高敏肌钙蛋白T,并通过超声心动图评估左心室射血分数(LVEF)。
间隔日时,LBQ657和VAL的平均最大血浆浓度(Cmax)分别为15.46±6.01和2.57±1.23mg/L。与先前严重肾功能损害患者和健康志愿者的值相比,在每天两次100mg SAC/VAL治疗期间,这些水平均保持在安全浓度范围内。此外,SAC/VAL显著改善了HFrEF或HFmrEF的HD患者的LVEF(p<0.05)。
HD并未清除HF患者体内的SAC代谢物LBQ657或VAL。然而,每天两次100mg的SAC/VAL对接受HD的患者是安全有效的。
