---|---|
Experimental: Tolvaptan
Tolvaptan was self-administered orally as split-dose regimens. The dose regimens used in this trial were 15/15 milligram (mg), 30/15 mg, 45/15 mg, 60/30 mg, or 90/30 mg. Starting doses were dependent upon the participant's previous trial as follows:
|
Drug: Tolvaptan
Tolvaptan tablets (15 or 30 mg) self-administered orally as split-dose regimens, once upon awakening and another approximately 8 to 9 hours later
Other Name: OPC-41061 |
- Number Of Participants Reporting Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs) [ Time Frame: Baseline through end of treatment (up to 42 months) and follow-up 7 days posttreatment(+ 7 days) ]An adverse event (AE) was as any untoward medical occurrence associated with the use of an investigational medicinal product (IMP), whether or not considered IMP related. A TEAE was an AE that started after trial drug treatment; or if the event was continuous from baseline and was serious, related to IMP, or resulted in death, discontinuation, interruption or reduction of trial therapy. A serious TEAE included any event that resulted in: death, life-threatening, persistent or significant incapacity, substantial disruption of ability to conduct normal life functions, required inpatient hospitalization, prolonged hospitalization, congenital anomaly/birth defect, or other medically significant events as per medical judgment, that jeopardized the participant and that required medical or surgical intervention. A severe TEAE was an inability to work or perform normal daily activity. A summary of serious and all other non-serious TEAEs, regardless of causality, is located in the AE section.

Ages Eligible for Study: | 18 Years and older (Adult, Older Adult) |
Sexes Eligible for Study: | All |
Accepts Healthy Volunteers: | No |
Inclusion Criteria:
- Male and female participants ≥ 18 years with confirmed diagnosis of ADPKD (during participation in prior tolvaptan trials) who have completed and transferred from the double-blind Trial 156-13-210 (12-month period including post treatment follow-up, regardless of whether this was on-treatment or off-treatment), or completed Trial 156-08-271 or a prior tolvaptan trial, or interrupted or discontinued treatment in a prior tolvaptan ADPKD trial other than Trial 156-13-210. Participants may be enrolled with the medical monitor approval, and additional close monitoring may be required at the beginning of the trial.
- eGFR ≥ 20 milliliter (mL)/minute (min)/1.73 meter squared (m^2) within 3 months prior to the baseline visit. Participants who have an eGFR ≤ 20 mL/min/1.73 m^2 may be enrolled with medical monitor approval.
Exclusion Criteria:
- Need for chronic diuretic use
- Hepatic impairment based on liver function abnormalities other than that expected for ADPKD with cystic liver disease
- Women of childbearing potential who do not agree to practice 2 different methods of birth control or remain abstinent during the trial and for 30 days after the last dose of investigational medicinal product (IMP)
- Women who are breast-feeding and/or who have a positive pregnancy test result prior to receiving IMP.
- Participants with contraindications to required trial assessments (contraindications to optional assessments, for example, magnetic resonance imaging [MRI] are not a limitation).
- Participants who in the opinion of the investigator or the medical monitor, have a medical history or medical finding inconsistent with safety or trial compliance
