NCT ID NCT06149104
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looked at the safety of the drug sacubitril/valsartan in Japanese children with heart failure. Eight children who had already been in a previous trial took the drug to see if any side effects occurred. The goal was to gather more safety information and provide the drug until a child-friendly version becomes available.
