Filter by:This is a Phase 3 trial consisting of a 2-arm, double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomized phase (Part 1) followed by a single-arm open-label phase (Part 2) to demonstrate the efficacy and safety of lixivaptan in participants with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD). Part 1 of the trial is designed to demonstrate the efficacy of lixivaptan in slowing the decline in kidney function as measured by the difference in estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) between the lixivaptan-treated and placebo-treated participants. Part 2 of the study is designed to provide confirmation of the durability of this effect. Additionally, both parts of the study will contribute to understanding the safety of lixivaptan, particularly any effects on liver chemistry tests.
This international, multi-center, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled Phase 3 trial will study the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of bardoxolone methyl in qualified patients with ADPKD. Approximately 850 patients will be enrolled.
Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is the most common inherited renal disorder occurring in 1:400-1:1.000 live births and affects 4 to 6 million persons worldwide and about 205.000 people in Europe (EU). This figure is equivalent to 4 in 10.000 people and thus below the prevalence threshold of 5 in 10.000 used to designate a disease as rare in EU. Renal cyst development and expansion in ADPKD involves both fluid secretion and abnormal proliferation of cyst-lining epithelial cells. The chloride channel of the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) participates in secretion of cyst fluid, and the mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) pathway may drive proliferation of cyst epithelial cells. CFTR and mTOR are both negatively regulated by AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK). Metformin, a drug widely used, is a pharmacological activator of AMPK. The investigators found that metformin stimulates AMPK, resulting in inhibition of both CFTR and the mTOR pathways. Metformin induces significant arrest of cystic growth in both in vitro and ex vivo models of renal cystogenesis. In addition, metformin administration produces a significant decrease in the cystic index in two mouse models of ADPKD. These results suggest a possible role for AMPK activation in slowing renal cystogenesis as well as the potential for therapeutic application of metformin in the context of ADPKD. Thus this study aims to evaluate metformin efficacy in slowing renal cystogenesis in ADPKD as compared to the actual gold standard (Tolvaptan).
This is a single center, comparative cohort study to investigate alterations in hepatic transporter function in subjects with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) compared to healthy subjects and subjects with non-ADPKD renal disease. Eligible subjects will be 18-65 years of age and of any race/ethnicity and gender.
This study plans to learn if pravastatin is helpful in slowing down the progression of kidney disease in adults with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD). Pravastatin has been approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for adults for treatment of hyperlipidemia (high cholesterol levels). The investigators are using pravastatin in this study as an investigational drug for treatment of ADPKD.
The goal of the study was to compare and evaluate safety and efficacy of tesevatinib 50 milligrams (mg) versus placebo in participants with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD).
The objective of this study is to measure the influence of both short term water restriction and high water intake on total kidney volume, measured by Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) scan in Autosomal Dominant Polycystic Kidney Disease (ADPKD) patients.
This is a retrospective analysis to include demographic, clinical, biochemical, and genetic data that will further explore the natural history of ADPKD and assess the factors that are likely to be associated with the progression of disease and the incidence of complications including progressive chronic kidney disease, cardiovascular disease, and cerebrovascular disease.
The proposed research will determine the effectiveness of blocking aldosterone for improving the health and function of arteries in patients with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD). The study also will provide insight into how blocking aldosterone improves artery health by determining the physiological mechanisms (biological reasons) involved. Overall, the proposed research will provide important new scientific evidence upon which physicians can base recommendations to patients with ADPKD to decrease risk of developing cardiovascular diseases.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety of a daily single oral dose of sirolimus in patients with advanced autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease.
