What is being measured

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

  1. Percent Change From the Baseline in Total Kidney Volume (TKV) for Study 156-04-251 Participants Enrolled in This Study (156-08-271)

    Total kidney volume is a measure of disease progression in the ADPKD participants. Kidney volume was assessed in T1-weighted magnetic resonance images collected at each study site and sent to a central reviewing facility. At the central reviewing facility, radiologists used proprietary software to measure the volume of both kidneys in participants continuing from previous study (156-04-251) at Month 24 of this study (156-08-271) comparing change in TKV for the early-treated (those previously treated with tolvaptan) to delayed-treated (those previously treated with placebo). The percent change in the volume of both kidneys combined was analysed using mixed-effect model repeated measures (MMRM) analysis and reported. This outcome measure was analyzed only in the participants enrolled from the previous study - 156-04-251, as pre-specified in the protocol.

    Measured: Study Baseline (Prior to Day 1 in Study 156-04-251) to Month 24 in this study (Study 156-08-271)

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Change From the Baseline in Estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate (eGFR) as Assessed by Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration (CKD-EPI) for Study 156-04-251 Participants Enrolled in This Study (156-08-271)

    Estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate (eGFR) according to CKD-EPI is calculated using the CKD-EPI equation, expressed as a single equation, is GFR = 141 × min (serum creatinine [Scr]/κ, 1)α × max(Scr/κ, 1)^-1.209 × 0.993 Age × 1.018 (if female) × 1.159 (if black), where Scr is serum creatinine, κ is 0.7 for females and 0.9 for males, α is -0.329 for females and -0.411 for males, min indicates the minimum of Scr/ĸ or 1, and max indicates the maximum of Scr/κ or 1 in participants continuing from previous study (156-04-251) at Month 24 of this study (156-08-271) comparing change in eGFR for the early-treated (those previously treated with tolvaptan) to delayed-treated (those previously treated with placebo). MMRM was used for the analysis. This outcome measure was analyzed only in the participants enrolled from the previous - 156-04-251, as pre-specified in the protocol.

    Measured: Study Baseline (Prior to Day 1 in Study 156-04-251) to Month 24 in this study (Study 156-08-271)

  2. Annualized Slope of Total Kidney Volume (TKV) for Study 156-04-251 Participants Enrolled in Study 156-08-271

    Annualized slope of TKV is a measure of renal function and disease progression in ADPKD participants. The annualized slope is calculated as percentage of growth in TKV (measured in mL by MRI) divided by each participant's years of participation for all participants was calculated using MMRM analysis in participants continuing from previous study (156-04-251) at Month 24 of this study (156-08-271) comparing annualized slope of TKV for the early-treated (those previously treated with tolvaptan) to delayed-treated (those previously treated with placebo). This outcome measure was analyzed only in the participants enrolled from the previous study - 156-04-251, as pre-specified in the protocol.

    Measured: Study Baseline (Prior to Day 1 in Study 156-08-271) to Month 24 in this study (Study 156-08-271)

  3. Annualized Slope of eGFR (CKD-EPI) for Study 156-04-251 Participants Enrolled in Study 156-08-271

    Annualized slope of eGFR (CKD-EPI) is a measure of renal function and disease progression in ADPKD participants. The annualized slope of eGFR (CKD-EPI) (divided by each participant's years of participation) for all participants was calculated using MMRM analysis in participants continuing from previous study (156-04-251) at Month 24 of this study (156-08-271) comparing change in TKV for the early-treated (those previously treated with tolvaptan) to delayed-treated (those previously treated with placebo). eGFR was calculated using the Chronic Kidney Disease-Epidemiology (CKD-EPI) formula. This outcome measure was analyzed only in the participants enrolled from the previous study - 156-04-251, as pre-specified in the protocol.

    Measured: Study Baseline (Prior to Day 1 in Study 156-08-271) to Month 24 (Study 156-08-271)

  4. Annualized TKV Slope for Study 156-04-251 Placebo Participants Enrolled in Study 156-08-271

    Annualized slope of TKV is a measure of renal function and disease progression in ADPKD participants. The annualized slope is calculated as percentage of growth in TKV (measured in mL by MRI) divided by each participant's years of participation, using MMRM analysis to compare annualized slope of TKV for the participants who received placebo in previous study (156-04-251) to annualized slope of TKV for the same participants who received tolvaptan in this study (156-08-271). This outcome measure was analyzed only in the participants enrolled from the previous study - 156-04-251 and who received placebo in the previous study, as pre-specified in the protocol.

    Measured: Tolvaptan, Delayed Treated: Baseline to Month 24 in Study 156-08-271; Placebo: Baseline to Month 36 in Study 156-04-251

  5. Annualized Slope of Renal Function (eGFRCKD-EPI) for Study 156-04-251 Placebo Participants Enrolled in Study 156-08-271

    Annualized slope of eGFR (CKD-EPI) is a measure of renal function and disease progression in ADPKD participants. The annualized slope of eGFR (calculated using CKD-EPI formula) divided by each participant's years of participation, using MMRM analysis to compare annualized slope of eGFR (CKD-EPI) for the participants who received placebo in previous study (156-04-251) to the annualized slope of eGFR (CKD-EPI) for the same participants who received tolvaptan in this study (156-08-271). This outcome measure was analyzed only in the participants enrolled from the previous study - 156-04-251 who received placebo in previous study and received tolvaptan in this study, as pre-specified in the protocol.

    Measured: Tolvaptan, Delayed Treated: Baseline to Month 24 in Study 156-08-271; Placebo: Baseline to Month 36 in Study 156-04-251

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 1 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 25 Oct 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 97 sites in United States, United Kingdom, France, Poland, Australia and 8 more countries. 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 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

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

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 25 Oct 2021). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Percent Change From the Baseline in Total Kidney Volume (TKV) for Study 156-04-251 Participants Enrolled in This Study (156-08-271) (time frame: Study Baseline (Prior to Day 1 in Study 156-04-251) to Month 24 in this study (Study 156-08-271)). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT01214421, which also lists 6 linked publications.

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 25 Oct 2021.
