A Study to See if Tolvaptan is Safe in Infants and Children Who at Enrollment Are 28 Days to Less Than 18 Years Old With Autosomal Recessive Polycystic Kidney Disease (ARPKD)
- Conditions
- Autosomal Recessive Polycystic Kidney (ARPKD)
- Interventions
- Registration Number
- NCT04782258
- Brief Summary
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the safety of tolvaptan in pediatric subjects with autosomal recessive polycystic kidney disease (ARPKD)
- Detailed Description
This study is a multinational, multicenter, open-label, non-randomized trial. The study consist of three periods: Screening Period, Treatment period and Follow-up period.
Tolvaptan has been demonstrated to delay the decline of kidney function in adults with rapidly progressing ADPKD (CKD stages 1 to 4), a closely related indication to ARPKD, as measured by estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) and Total Kidney Volume (TKV).
Participants in this study will be assigned to tolvaptan and followed for 18 months over the course of the study.
The overall trial duration is expected to be approximately 3.5 years.

Group Intervention Description Tolvaptan Tablets Tolvaptan Tablets Tolvaptan tablets will be administered orally as split-dose regimens (15/7.5 mg, 30/15 mg, and 45/15 mg) upon awakening and 8 hours later (twice daily) based on weight if able to swallow tablets. Treatment duration is 18 months. Tolvaptan Suspension Tolvaptan Suspension Tolvaptan suspension will be administered orally or via feeding/nasogastric tube at doses of 0.15 mg/kg once daily in the AM, 0.30 mg/kg once daily in the AM, 0.5 mg/kg once daily in the AM, 0.75 mg/kg split dose (0.5 mg/kg AM and 0.25 mg/kg 8 hours later), and 1 mg/kg split dose (0.67 mg/kg AM and 0.33 mg/kg 8 hours later) based on age. Treatment duration is 18 months.
