Key information

About this study

Tolvaptan was approved in Japan for the treatment of autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) in March 2014. This is a prospective 5-year study to compare the change in total kidney volume (TKV) before and after tolvaptan therapy, as the primary endpoint, in patients with ADPKD. Study results will be summarized, analyzed, and compiled into a research paper at 3 years (data cut-off, March 31, 2018) and at 5 years (data cut-off, March 31, 2020)

Who can participate

Healthy volunteers accepted: No

Only the study team can determine whether someone qualifies for participation.

Inclusion criteria

  • The patients with ADPKD
  • The patients who consent to the study protocol
  • Estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) or Creatinine Clearance greater than 50ml/min/1.73m2

Exclusion criteria

  • Patients who might be danger to drink large amount of water such as having heart failure or past history of cerebrovascular or cardiovascular disorders.
  • The patients who take habitual medication which affects the AVP action such as selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRI ), tricyclic antidepressants or diuretics.
  • The patients who is considered inappropriate by physicians.

Treatment and study plan

Primary outcomes

  1. Total kidney volume (TKV) measured by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).

    Time frame: One year (12 months) and pre-study period.

    The relationship between urine volume (and urine osmolality) and change of TKV. TKV slopes are compared between pre-study and study period.

Secondary outcomes

  1. Glomerular filtration rate (GFR) estimated by plasma creatinine and cystatin C.

    Time frame: One year (12 months)

    The relationship between urine volume (and urine osmolality) and change of GFR.

  2. Plasma arginine vasopressin (AVP, Copeptin) level.

    Time frame: 4-8-12 months

    The relationship between urine volume (osmolality) and plasma AVP.

  3. Quality of life (QOL) questionnaire.

    Time frame: 4-8-12 months

    The relationship between QOL and urine volume.
