207620Orig1s000 CENTER FOR DRUG EVALUATION AND RESEARCH APPLICATION NUMBER: 207620Orig1s000 PHARMACOLOGY REVIEW(S) Tertiary Pharmacology Review By: Paul C. Brown, Ph.D., ODE Associate Director for Pharmacology and Toxicology, OND IO NDA: 207620 Submission date: 10/29/14 (date of submission of nonclinical module) Drug: sacubitril/valsartan Applicant: Novartis Indication: reducing the risk of cardiovascular mortality and (b) (4) hospitalization in patients with chronic heart failure Reviewing Division: Division of Cardiovascular and Renal Products, Division of Hematology Products Discussion: The primary reviewer and supervisor found the nonclinical information adequate to support the approval of sacubitril/valsartan for the indication listed above. Sacubitril is a new molecular entity whereas valsartan is in several approved drug products. The carcinogenicity of valsartan has been previously assessed. The carcinogenicity of sacubitril was assessed in 2-year rat and mouse studies. These studies were found to be acceptable by the executive carcinogenicity assessment committee and the committee concluded that there were no drug- related neoplasms in either species. The applicant provided embryofetal studies in rats and rabbits with sacubitril and with the combination of sacubitril/valsartan. These studies showed some adverse effects such as embryo-fetal lethality and hydrocephaly that appear to be attributable to angiotensin receptor antagonism. Interaction with the renin- angiotensin system in general is considered to have the potential to induce adverse fetal effects. A pre/postnatal study in rats with sacubitril showed some slight body weight effects in pups. Adverse effects in pre/postnatal studies have also been observed with valsartan. An acceptable established pharmacologic class for sacubitril could be “neprilysin inhibitor”. Valsartan is an angiotensin II receptor blocker. Conclusions: I agree that this NDA can be approved from a pharm/tox perspective for the indication listed above. I have provided comments on labeling separately. 1 Reference ID: 3787290 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This is a representation of an electronic record that was signed electronically and this page is the manifestation of the electronic signature. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- /s/ ---------------------------------------------------- PAUL C BROWN 07/02/2015 Reference ID: 3787290 DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES PUBLIC HEALTH SERVICE FOOD AND DRUG ADMINISTRATION CENTER FOR DRUG EVALUATION AND RESEARCH PHARMACOLOGY/TOXICOLOGY NDA/BLA REVIEW AND EVALUATION Application number: 207620 Supporting document/s: SDN 001 Applicant’s letter date: 10/29/14 CDER stamp date: 10/29/14 Product: LCZ696 (sacubitril/valsartan) tablets Indication: Heart failure Applicant: Novartis Review Division: Div.

Link, Ph.D. 1 Executive Summary 1.1 Introduction LCZ696 (sacubitril/valsartan) is a combination angiotensin receptor/neprilysin (neutral endopeptidase 24.11; NEP) inhibitor (ARNI) intended as an oral treatment for heart failure (b) (4) The target dose is 200 mg twice daily (BID). LCZ696 is a salt complex comprising sacubitril (AHU377, a new-molecular entity) and valsartan, sodium cations, and water molecules in the molar ratio of 1:1:3:2.5 (ratio of 6:6:18:15 in the asymmetric unit cell of the solid-state crystal). Each 200-mg dose of LCZ696 contains approximately 97 mg of AHU377 and 103 mg of valsartan. Dosage forms of 50 mg LCZ696 and 100 mg LCZ696 are also available for initiation of treatment and/or down-titration. Following oral administration, LCZ696 dissociates into valsartan and the pro-drug AHU377, which is further metabolized to the NEP inhibitor LBQ657. Exposures to both LBQ657 and valsartan are dose-proportional and predictable. LCZ696 doses of 50, 100, and 200 mg deliver valsartan exposures which are similar to those delivered from the Diovan® dose strengths of 40, 80, and 160 mg, respectively. The pharmacodynamic activity and selectivity of LCZ696 was characterized in a number of in vitro and in vivo pharmacological studies conducted with LCZ696, AHU377, LBQ657, or valsartan. The animal studies were conducted in cardiorenal disease models and demonstrate a beneficial effect of LCZ696 on cardiac, renal,

  • Angiotensin Receptor Neprilysin Inhibition in Heart Failure: Mechanistic Action and Clinical Impact
    Journal of Cardiac Failure Vol. 21 No. 9 2015 Review Article Angiotensin Receptor Neprilysin Inhibition in Heart Failure: Mechanistic Action and Clinical Impact JONATHAN BUGGEY, MD,1 ROBERT J. MENTZ, MD,1,2 ADAM D. DEVORE, MD,1,2 AND ERIC J. VELAZQUEZ, MD1,2 Durham, North Carolina ABSTRACT Heart failure (HF) is an increasingly common syndrome associated with high mortality and economic burden, and there has been a paucity over the past decade of new pharmacotherapies that improve outcomes. However, recent data from a large randomized controlled trial compared the novel agent LCZ696, a dual-acting angiotensin receptor blocker and neprilysin inhibitor (ARNi), with the well estab- lished angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor enalapril and found significant reduction in mortal- ity among the chronic reduced ejection fraction HF population. Preclinical and clinical data suggest that neprilysin inhibition provides beneficial outcomes in HF patients by preventing the degradation of natriuretic peptides and thereby promoting natriuresis and vasodilatation and counteracting the negative cardiorenal effects of the up-regulated renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system. Agents such as omapatrilat combined neprilysin and ACE inhibition but had increased rates of angioedema. Goals of an improved safety profile provided the rationale for the development of the ARNi LCZ696. Along with significant reductions in mortality and hospitalizations, clinical trials suggest that LCZ696 may improve surrogate markers of HF severity. In this paper, we review the preclinical and clinical data that led to the develop- ment of LCZ696, the understanding of the underlying mechanistic action, and the robust clinical impact that LCZ696 may have in the near future.

Short-term RAAS activation controls water and salt retention and causes vaso- constriction, which are beneficial for maintaining cardiac output in low blood pressure and early stage heart failure. However, prolonged RAAS activation is detrimental, leading to structural re- modeling and cardiac dysfunction. Natriuretic peptides (NPs) are activated to counterbalance the effect of RAAS and sympathetic nervous system by facilitating water and salt excretion and causing vasodilation. Neprilysin is a major NP-degrading enzyme that degrades multiple vaso-modulatory substances. Although the inhibition of neprilysin alone is not sufficient to counterbalance RAAS acti- vation in cardiovascular diseases (e.g., hypertension and heart failure), a combination of angiotensin Citation: Sutanto, H.; Dobrev, D.; receptor blocker and neprilysin inhibitor (ARNI) was highly effective in several clinical trials and may Heijman, J.
