This trialwill test how a drug affects people with kidney failure and how safe it is.

Who is the study for?
Adults over 18 who recently started hemodialysis can join this trial. They must have stable blood pressure, not be on certain heart medications, and able to consent. Excluded are those with recent major heart issues, planned transplants, severe liver disease, untreated serious arrhythmias or cancer within the last year.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The trial tests if sacubitril-valsartan is better than a placebo for managing fluid overload and preserving kidney function in new hemodialysis patients. It's randomized: participants won't choose which treatment they get.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Possible side effects include low blood pressure, high potassium levels, worsening kidney function, dizziness or swelling of the face and throat (angioedema), especially in people previously sensitive to similar drugs.

Trial Design

2Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Placebo Group
Group I: sacubitril/valsartanExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Participants will take sacubitril/valsartan, beginning dose of 24/26mg twice daily, with titration to target dose of 97/103 mg twice daily over the first four weeks. Patients will remain on the maximally tolerated dose for the remaining 12 weeks (total on-drug period of 16 weeks) before stopping drug and being followed for a further two weeks (total study time of 18 weeks).
Group II: placeboPlacebo Group2 Interventions
Participants will take equivalent placebo, beginning equivalent dose of 24/26mg twice daily, with titration to target equivalent dose of 97/103 mg twice daily over the first four weeks. Patients will remain on the maximally tolerated dose for the remaining 12 weeks (total on-drug period of 16 weeks) before stopping drug/placebo and being followed for a further two weeks (total study time of 18 weeks).
