Met primary endpoint

paper The average reduction in mean sitting diastolic blood pressure across the doses of LCZ696 versus the appropriate comparator dose of valsartan showed significantly greater reductions with LCZ696 (mean reduction: -2.17 mm Hg, 95% CI -3.28 to -1.06; p<0.0001). PMID 20236700 ↗
