Efficacy Study of Water Drinking on PKD Progression. (ESWP)

March 14, 2018 updated by: Eiji Higashihara, MD, Kyorin University

Efficacy Study of Long-term Water Intake on the Progression of Autosomal Dominant Polycystic Kidney Disease (ADPKD).

This is a prospective 5-year study to compare the change in total kidney volume (TKV) before and after tolvaptan therapy, as the primary endpoint, in patients with ADPKD.

Study Overview

Detailed Description

Tolvaptan was approved in Japan for the treatment of autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) in March 2014. This is a prospective 5-year study to compare the change in total kidney volume (TKV) before and after tolvaptan therapy, as the primary endpoint, in patients with ADPKD. Study results will be summarized, analyzed, and compiled into a research paper at 3 years (data cut-off, March 31, 2018) and at 5 years (data cut-off, March 31, 2020)

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • The patients who consent to the study protocol
  • Estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) or Creatinine Clearance greater than 50ml/min/1.73m2

Exclusion Criteria:

Design Details

Cohorts and Interventions

Group / Cohort
Water Load Group
Water load group: 2.5 ~ 3 L water intake daily for 12 months (50ml/Kg body weight/day). When large amount water intake is not sustainable, patients can reduce the amount of water intake to the levels as much as large he or she can sustain.
Non-Water Loaded Group
Non-water load group: The patients are free to access water intake, as they like.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Total kidney volume (TKV) measured by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).
Time Frame: One year (12 months) and pre-study period.
The relationship between urine volume (and urine osmolality) and change of TKV. TKV slopes are compared between pre-study and study period.
One year (12 months) and pre-study period.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Glomerular filtration rate (GFR) estimated by plasma creatinine and cystatin C.
Time Frame: One year (12 months)
The relationship between urine volume (and urine osmolality) and change of GFR.
One year (12 months)
Plasma arginine vasopressin (AVP, Copeptin) level.
Time Frame: 4-8-12 months
The relationship between urine volume (osmolality) and plasma AVP.
4-8-12 months
Quality of life (QOL) questionnaire.
Time Frame: 4-8-12 months
The relationship between QOL and urine volume.
4-8-12 months
