Who can take part
Age range
18 Years to 120 Years
Sex
All (male and female)
Healthy volunteers
No - a diagnosis or condition is required
Phase
Phase 1, Phase 2
Study type
Interventional (participants receive a specific treatment)
Inclusion criteria
- Age \</= 39 years old at time of cancer diagnosis
- Clinical records adequate to determine diagnosis and treatment regimen
- Previous anthracycline chemotherapy

Exclusion criteria
- -Age \<18 years

- Severe kidney disease (glomerular filtration rate (GFR) \<30 milliliters (mL)/minute (min)/1.73 meters squared (m2))
- Chronic hyperkalemia (\>5millimoles per liter (mmol/L))
- Evidence of Coronavirus (COVID-19) within the last 60 days or recent (21 days) exposure to close personal contact with COVID-19.
- Greater than moderate tricuspid or pulmonary valve regurgitation/stenosis known pre-cancer therapy
- Hemodynamically significant congenital heart disease in the opinion of the investigator (not including patent foramen ovale (PFO)/small atrial septal defect (ASD) or small ventricular septal defect (VSD))
- Greater than moderate pericardial effusion
- Constrictive cardiomyopathy diagnosed pre-cancer therapy
- Family history of genetic cardiomyopathy
- Evidence of infiltrative cardiomyopathy
- Symptomatic heart disease based on New York Heart Association (NYHA) classification
- Allergy to valsartan or sacubitril
- Inability to complete cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) or 6-minute walk test
- Inability to measure non-invasive blood pressure and heart rate in the ambulatory/home setting
- Pregnant/lactating
- History of severe hypersensitivity reactions to gadolinium-based contrast agents (will perform limited cardiac imaging without contrast)
- Concomitant use of other angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors or angiotensin II receptor blockers (ARBs), aliskiren, non-steroidal anti-inflammatories (NSAIDs) or lithium or the inability to stop these medications for the study
