22 PARADIGM-HF: Entry Criteria NYHA class II-IV heart failure LV ejection fraction 40% 35% BNP 150 (or NT-proBNP 600), but one-third lower if hospitalized for heart failure within 12 months Any use of ACE inhibitor or ARB, but able to tolerate stable dose equivalent to at least enalapril 10 mg daily for at least 4 weeks Guideline-recommended use of beta-blockers and mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists Systolic BP 95 mm Hg, egfr 30 ml/min/1.73 m 2 and serum K 5.4 meq/l at randomization

23 PARADIGM-HF: Study Design Randomization Single-blind run-in period Double-blind period LCZ mg BID Enalapril LCZ696 (1:1 randomization) 10 mg BID 100 mg BID 200 mg BID Enalapril 10 mg BID 2 weeks 1-2 weeks 2-4 weeks

24 PARADIGM-HF: Patient Disposition 10,521 patients screened at 1043 centers in 47 countries Did not fulfill criteria for randomization (n=2079) Randomized erroneously or at sites closed due to GCP violations (n=43) 8399 patients randomized for ITT analysis LCZ696 (n=4187) At last visit 375 mg daily 11 lost to follow-up median 27 months of follow-up Enalapril (n=4212) At last visit 18.9 mg daily 9 lost to follow-up

47 Contraindications: Corlanor - Ivabradine Clinical Application Acute decompensated heart failure Blood pressure less than 90/50 mmhg Sick sinus syndrome, sinoatrial block or 3 rd degree AV block, unless a functioning demand pacemaker is present Resting heart rate less than 60 bpm prior to treatment Severe hepatic impairment Pacemaker dependence (heart rate maintained exclusively by the pacemaker)

48 Corlanor - Ivabradine Adverse Effects Common Adverse Effects: Ivabradine (N=3,260) Placebo (N=3,278) Bradycardia 10% 2.2% Atrial Fibrillation 8.3% 6.6% Phosphenes, visual brightness Hypertension, blood pressure increase 2.8% 0.5% 8.9% 7.8%

49 Corlanor - Ivabradine Prescription Information Recommended starting dose 5mg tablet by mouth twice daily with meals or 2.5mg tablet by mouth twice daily for patients in whom bradycardia could lead to hemodynamic compromise or with a history of conduction defects >60 bpm After 2 weeks, check resting heart rate Increase dose by 2.5mg twice daily up to max of 7.5mg twice daily bpm (target range) Maintain dose <50 bpm Decrease dose by 2.5mg twice daily *Discontinue therapy if current dose is 2.5mg twice daily
