Brief Summary   This trial is a Phase III, Randomized, Open Label, Active-Controlled, Prospective, Parallel Group, Comparative, Multicentric Clinical Study to Evaluate the Efficacy, Safety and Tolerability of Fixed Dose Combination of Dapagliflozin and Sacubitril/Valsartan Tablets Versus Concomitant Administration of Dapagliflozin and Sacubitril/Valsartan Tablets in Patients with Heart Failure with Reduced Ejection Fraction (HFrEF).


Patients who are willing and able to participate in the study will sign and date the Informed Consent Form on the day of screening / baseline visit (Visit 1). During this screening period, patients who are willing to give consent will be evaluated for all the eligibility criteria. Eligible patients (male or female) aged > 18 years with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) with EF ≤ 40%, established documented diagnosis of symptomatic HFrEF (New York Heart Association (NYHA) functional class II-III), on maximum dose of Sacubitril/Valsartan Tablets 97/103 mg twice daily, with elevated N-terminal pro b-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) levels at screening visit will be considered for the study.


After confirming the inclusion/exclusion criteria the subject will be randomized and provided with study medication at randomization visit. Subjects will be provided with patient diary at randomization visit, which need to be brought along with in each subsequent visit till the last visit. Follow up visits will be done on week 2/day 14(±3), week 6/day 42(±3), week 12/day 84(±3), week 18/day 126(±3) and week 24/day 168(±3) (final visit) of treatment to assess efficacy, safety and tolerability.


Patients will be assigned to either of the two arms i.e., Arm A or Arm B consisting of FDC of Dapagliflozin 5 mg + Sacubitril/Valsartan 97/103 mg Tablets or Concomitant Administration of Dapagliflozin Tablets 5 mg and Sacubitril/Valsartan Tablets 97/103 mg (Arm B).
