Detailed Description

Renal function was assessed during screening with the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), which was calculated with the 4-variable modification of diet in renal disease (MDRD) equation using a minimum of 2 creatinine measurements. The eGFR values were used to categorize participants into 1 of 3 mutually exclusive strata (> 60 [Group A], 30 to 60 [Group B], and < 30 [Group C] mL/min/1.73 m^2). Each of the 3 groups received the same tolvaptan treatment.

During the 3-week treatment period, participants were up-titrated on a weekly basis from 45/15 mg to 60/30 mg to 90/30 mg (AM and PM [8 hours later] split-dose) to the maximally tolerated dose. The 3-week treatment period was followed by a 3-week post-treatment period during which no study medication was administered.

The effects of the highest tolerated split-dose of tolvaptan on renal hemodynamics and pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic parameters were assessed throughout the 6 weeks of the study. The reversibility of changes during the post-treatment period after withdrawal of the drug was determined and the acute transitory effects on kidney volume were also explored.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Mean Change From Baseline in Measured Glomerular Filtration Rate (mGFR) After 3 Weeks of Tolvaptan Treatment and at 3 Weeks Post Treatment.
Time Frame: After 3 weeks of treatment and 3 weeks post treatment
Renal function measurements were performed using the constant infusion method with 125I-iothalamate and 131I-hippuran. A priming solution containing 20 mL infusion solution (0.04 MBq of 125I-iothalamate and 0.03 MBq of 131I-hippuran) was given at 08:00 hours, followed by a constant infusion of 6 to 12 mL/h, with the lowest infusion rates in subjects with impaired renal function, based on previously known serum creatinine concentrations. Plasma concentrations of both tracers were allowed to stabilize during a 1.5-hour equilibration, which was followed by two 2-hour periods (09:30 to 11:30 hours and 11:30 to 13:30 hours) for simultaneous clearances of 125I-iothalamate and 131I-hippuran. Blood was drawn at 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 hours post consumption of water/tolvaptan (08:30 hours). The mGFR was corrected for voiding errors.
