What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. The incidences of TEAEs

    The incidences of TEAEs

    Measured: during the tolvaptan treatment period and up to 7 days after the date of last dosing

  2. The incidences of TEAEs meeting any of the followings will be summarized.

    Liver injury [ALT or AST elevation (>3 x ULN) or Total Bilirubin elevation (>2 x ULN), etc.], AEs leading to death, Serious AEs, AEs leading to treatment discontinuation, AEs whose causal relationship with the IMP cannot be ruled out, Severe AEs, Dehydration, Effects on Sodium, Creatinine

    Measured: during the tolvaptan treatment period and up to 7 days after the date of last dosing

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Total kidney volume (TKV) annual mean percent change rate [%/year]

    Baseline TKV refers to the value measured during the screening period

    Measured: from baseline to End of Treatment (Visit 25, Month 24)

  2. eGFR CKD-EPI annual mean change [mL/min/1.73m^2] (off-treatment)

    (off-treatment)

    Measured: from baseline to the Follow-up visit (Visit 26, 7 days after End of Treatment(Visit 25, Month 24))

  3. eGFR CKD-EPI annual mean change [mL/min/1.73m^2] (on-treatment)

    (on-treatment)

    Measured: from Completion of Tolvaptan Titration Period (Visit 6, Week 4) to End of Treatment (Visit 25, Month 24)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Tolvaptan in people with Autosomal Dominant Polycystic Kidney Disease (ADPKD), run by Korea Otsuka Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. at 18 sites in South Korea.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 10 inclusion and 17 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 16 Jun 2022. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 18 sites in South Korea. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

The incidences of TEAEs (time frame: during the tolvaptan treatment period and up to 7 days after the date of last dosing). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 16 Jun 2022.
