Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Main Objective: Thus the main objective of the present study is to define whether pharmacological inhibition of this serine-theronine kinase may reduce or even revert the progressive growth of renal cyst in population of APKD patients with moderate renal failure over a period of 24 months. We will also evaluate whether 24 months of treatment with rapamycin may also influence the progression of renal failure towards end stage renal disease.;Secondary Objective: Kidney volume estimated by MRI, EGF urinary levels, activity of p70S6 kinase, side-effects of the drug.;Primary end point(s): The primary end-points of the study is a combination of ESRD, doubling of serum creatinine (sCr), increase of 50% of the baseline sCr.
