Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Proportion of patients achieving a urine osmolality < 270 mOsm/kg is measured using 24 hour urine collections at screening, weeks 2, 8 and 12.
Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
<br> 1. Urine osmolality is measured using 24 hour urine collections at screening, weeks 2, 8 and 12<br> 2. Proportion of participants that can self-monitor and report urine specific gravity reliably is measured using home monitoring of urine dipstick testing twice weekly (Monday and thursday) from weeks 0-8<br> 3. Proportion of patients experiencing a serious adverse event is measured using participant reported symptoms, clinic visits, and blood tests at weeks 0, 2, 4, 8 and 12<br> 4. Estimated GFR is measured using blood test at screening, then weeks 0, 2, 4, 8 and 12<br> 5. Health-Related Quality of Life is measured using the EQ5D-5L questionnaire at week 0 then week 12<br> 6. Recruitment rate is measured using the number of participants recruited each month<br>
