Clinical trials

The European Union Clinical Trials Register   allows you to search for protocol and results information on:
  • interventional clinical trials that were approved in the European Union (EU)/European Economic Area (EEA) under the Clinical Trials Directive 2001/20/EC
  • clinical trials conducted outside the EU/EEA that are linked to European paediatric-medicine development

  • EU/EEA interventional clinical trials approved under or transitioned to the Clinical Trial Regulation 536/2014 are publicly accessible through the
    Clinical Trials Information System (CTIS).


    The EU Clinical Trials Register currently displays   43850   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7282   are clinical trials conducted with subjects less than 18 years old.   The register also displays information on   18700   older paediatric trials (in scope of Article 45 of the Paediatric Regulation (EC) No 1901/2006).

    Phase 1 trials conducted solely on adults and that are not part of an agreed paediatric investigation plan (PIP) are not publicly available (see Frequently Asked Questions ).

    General information about the trial
    Main objective of the trial
    To compare the efficacy of tolvaptan treatment in reducing the change in estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) from pretreatment baseline to post-treatment follow-up, as compared with placebo, in subjects with late-stage chronic kidney disease (CKD) due to ADPKD who tolerate tolvaptan during an initial run-in period.
    Protection of trial subjects
    This trial was conducted in compliance with Good Clinical Practice guidelines for conducting, recording, and reporting trials, as well as for archiving essential documents. Consistent with ethical principles for the protection of human research subjects, no trial procedures were performed on trial candidates until written consent or assent had been obtained from them and/or their legally acceptable representative. The informed consent form, protocol, and amendments for this trial were submitted to and approved by the Institutional Review Board or Independent Ethics Committee at each respective trial center.

    Recruitment
    Recruitment details
    The trial included subjects randomized at 213 sites (screened subjects from 225 sites) in the following 21 countries: Argentina, Australia, Belgium, Canada, Czech Republic, Denmark, France, Germany, Hungary, Israel, Italy, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Romania, Russia, South Africa, Spain, Sweden, United Kingdom, and United States.

    Pre-assignment
    Screening details
    Subjects who provided informed consent and for whom preliminary eligibility was established entered an 8-week prerandomization period (screening + 3 single-blind periods: placebo run-in, tolvaptan titration and tolvaptan run-in). The screening period (up to Day -43) was typically 1 to 2 weeks.

    Tolvaptan titration and Run-in Period: All Subjects
    Arm description
    Tolvaptan Titration Period was from Day -35 to Day -22. During the single-blind, 2-week, tolvaptan titration period, all subjects received 2 boxes of tolvaptan, 1 box containing 2 bottles of 15-mg tablets and the other box containing 2 bottles of 30-mg tablets. Titration was accomplished by increasing the number of tablets/dose and/or switching from 15 mg tablets to 30 mg tablets. Those subjects unable to tolerate at least a 60/30 mg tolvaptan dose regimen were considered “run-in failures". Subjects who tolerated at least 60/30 mg tolvaptan, entered the single-blind, tolvaptan run-in period (3-week duration; Tolvaptan Run-in Period was from Day -21 to Day -1) and continued on a stable 60/30 mg or 90/30 mg tolvaptan dose to confirm tolerability over a longer period and to establish a tolvaptan pre-randomization baseline.

    Subjects were instructed to take tolvaptan orally at a split-dose of 30/15 mg (as two 15-mg tablets upon waking and one 15-mg tablet approximately 8 to 9 hours later) and to titrate up every 3 to 4 days; first to 45/15, then 60/30, then, up to the maximum dose of 90/30 mg. In tolvaptan run-in period, subjects who tolerated at least 60/30 mg tolvaptan, continued on a stable 60/30 mg or 90/30 mg tolvaptan dose.

    Notes
    [1] - Period 1 is not the baseline period. It is expected that period 1 will be the baseline period.
    Justification: This study consisted of pre-randomization period which comprised of a screening period, a placebo run-in period and a tolvaptan run-in period. Since the actual randomization of subjects occurred after this pre-randomization period, Period 3 was considered as the "Baseline period". Only the randomized subjects were taken into account for the efficacy and safety analysis

    Notes
    [2] - The number of subjects reported to be in the baseline period are not the same as the worldwide number enrolled in the trial. It is expected that these numbers will be the same.
    Justification: In order to achieve 90% power with the assumption of 10% dropout rate in the trial, a total sample size of approximately 1300 subjects were planned. But in the trial, 1370 subjects were randomized and were considered as the baseline population count.

    End point description
    Treatment difference in the change of eGFR was calculated using Chronic Kidney Disease-Epidemiology (CKD-EPI) formula. To reduce the variation in this primary endpoint, 3 observations of eGFR were obtained at baseline during a 3-week interval (screening and placebo run-in periods) and another 3 observations were obtained post-treatment during a 2-week interval that began 1 week after the end of treatment (3-week post-treatment follow-up). The average of the 3 eGFR values observed during the baseline period was set as the baseline and the average of the 3 eGFR values observed during the post-treatment follow-up period was set as the renal function measurement post-treatment.

    End point description
    The key secondary endpoint of the trial was the annualized rate of eGFR change, which was derived from each individual subject’s eGFR slope using the CKD-EPI formula. The analysis of the key secondary endpoint was formally conducted, once the primary endpoint was significant at a 2-sided alpha of 0.05. Then a 2-sided alpha of 0.05 was applied to the primary analysis of the key secondary endpoint. In this analysis, all eGFR observations from placebo run-in, tolvaptan run-in (not including tolvaptan titration), double-blind treatment, and post-treatment follow-up (not including data collected in the first week after the last IMP dose) periods were included in the analysis, with the data of tolvaptan run-in and tolvaptan subjects in the double-blind treatment period were flagged (yes = 1 and no = 0) with a tolvaptan acute hemodynamic effect.

    Pharmacodynamic endpoint: Mean change from baseline in Urinalysis - urine specific gravity
    End point description
    Urine specific gravity was one of the pharmacodynamic endpoints. Urine specific gravity was summarized by treatment (tolvaptan or placebo) and time point using descriptive statistics. Baseline values were from the sample obtained at the end of the tolvaptan run-in period.
    End point type
    Secondary
    End point timeframe
    From Day -1 through Month 12/end of treatment (EoTx) visit, and the last follow-up visit (3 weeks post-treatment).

    Tolvaptan
    Reporting group description
    Subjects who reached the end of the tolvaptan run-in period and who tolerated the 60/30- or 90/30-mg dose of tolvaptan were randomized to tolvaptan treatment period. Subjects randomized to tolvaptan continued to take the same dose that they received during the tolvaptan run-in period. Treatment Period was from Day 0 to Month 12.

    Reporting group title
    Placebo
    Reporting group description
    Subjects randomized to placebo received placebo tablets matching their tolerated tolvaptan dose during the tolvaptan run-in period. The treatment duration was for 12 months from the date of randomization.
