Brief Summary:
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the effect of tolvaptan on the need for renal replacement therapy in pediatric subjects with autosomal recessive polycystic kidney disease (ARPKD)

Condition or disease Intervention/treatment Phase
Autosomal Recessive Polycystic Kidney Disease (ARPKD) Drug: Tolvaptan (OPC-41061) Phase 3

Detailed Description:

Tolvaptan has been demonstrated to delay the decline of kidney function in adults with rapidly progressing ADPKD (CKD stages 1 to 3), a closely related indication to ARPKD, as measured by estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) and Total Kidney Volume (TKV).

The trial will be the first trial of tolvaptan in a pediatric ARPKD population.

Participants in this study will be assigned to tolvaptan for 24 months and closely monitored over the course of the study.

Masking: None (Open Label)
Primary Purpose: Treatment
Official Title: A Phase 3b Multicenter Open-label Trial of the Safety, Tolerability, and Efficacy of Tolvaptan in Infants and Children 28 Days to Less Than 12 Weeks of Age With Autosomal Recessive Polycystic Kidney Disease (ARPKD)
Actual Study Start Date : July 1, 2022

Estimated Study Completion Date : October 11, 2027


Arm Intervention/treatment
Experimental: Tolvaptan (OPC-41061) Drug: Tolvaptan (OPC-41061)
Tolvaptan suspension will be administered orally or via nasogastric tube at doses of 0.15 mg/kg once daily in the AM, 0.30 mg/kg once daily in the AM, 0.5 mg/kg once daily in the AM, 0.75 mg/kg split dose (0.5 mg/kg AM and 0.25 mg/kg 8 hours later), and 1 mg/kg split dose (0.67 mg/kg AM and 0.33 mg/kg 8 hours later) based on age. Treatment duration is 2 years.




Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. The percentage of subjects that will have Renal Replacement Therapy (RRT) by 1 year of age. [ Time Frame: From Enrollment to 1 year of age ]

Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Rate of change of eGFR by Schwartz formula from pre-treatment to after 2 years of treatment [ Time Frame: From Enrollment to 2 years of age ]
  2. Palatability of the suspension formulation as assessed by a parent questionnaire immediately after and within 15-20 minutes after the first oral dose [ Time Frame: From Enrollment to 2 years of age ]
  3. Acceptance of the suspension formulation as assessed by a parent questionnaire immediately after and within 15-20 minutes after the first oral dose [ Time Frame: From Enrollment to 2 years of age ]
