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 ARPKD

Overview
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 is expected to last approximately 3.5 years.

Eligibility Criteria

  • Ages 28 days to 18 years old
  • Clinical and imaging features that are consistent with a diagnosis of ARPKD with all the following characteristics:
    • nephromegaly (> 2 standard deviations from age-appropriate standard via ultrasound)
    • multiple kidney cysts; and
    • a history of oligohydramnios or anhydramnios in utero.
  • Ability for parent/legal guardian to provide written, informed consent prior to initiation of any trial-related procedures, and ability, in the opinion of the principal investigator, to comply with all the requirements of the trial. Ability to provide written informed assent from all subjects old enough per local laws to provide assent.
