The ENCHANTMENT HIV Study

CompletedPhase 2

Sponsor: Massachusetts General Hospital

Conditions: HIV/AIDS, Heart Failure With Preserved Ejection Fraction

Interventions: Sacubitril-Valsartan 49-51Mg Oral Tablet, Placebo oral tablet

Countries: United States

Persons with HIV, even those well-treated, are at increased risk for heart disease when compared to the general population. Two hormones called aldosterone and brain natriuretic peptide (BNP), which have been shown to be abnormal in HIV, may be associated with inflammation as well as early changes in structure and function of the heart. This study is being conducted to evaluate whether therapies to block aldosterone and increase BNP levels may reduce the burden and progression of heart failure to improve cardiovascular health.
