Experimental: 251 Prior Tolvaptan
Tolvaptan tablets (as multiples of 15 or 30 mg) will be given orally twice daily until the last subject originating from the 156-04-251 trial who is eligible for efficacy analysis has completed the Month 24 visit. Dosing should occur on waking and approximately 9 hours later, irrespective of meals. Exact timing of dosing may be adjusted based on wake/sleep habits (eg, standard 8 AM and 5 PM may be switched to 10 PM and 7 AM if working a night shift). However, dosing times should be consistent for each individual's daily dose to maximize receptor suppression.Subjects should be titrated to the highest dose tolerated unless an equivalent dose was not tolerated and was associated with a significant adverse event in a prior trial. For example, the following titration schedule could be followed: Day 0 - 45/15 mg split-dose regimen assigned Week 1 - tolerated dose, up-titrate to 60/30 mg Week 2 - tolerated dose, up-titrate to 90/30 mg Week 3 - tolerated dose, 90/30 mg continued. |
Drug: Tolvaptan
Daily split-dose of tolvaptan titrated to the maximally tolerated dose. Starting daily tolvaptan dose of 45mg/15mg titrated to 60mg/30mg, then 90mg/30mg based on tolerability.
Other Name: OPC-41061 |
Experimental: 251 Prior Placebo
Subjects on Placebo from a previous open-label trial and not on tolvaptan at the baseline visit, initial dosing will commence with the lowest dose regimen and up-titrated to the last tolerated dosing regimen (as explained above).
|
Drug: Tolvaptan
Daily split-dose of tolvaptan titrated to the maximally tolerated dose. Starting daily tolvaptan dose of 45mg/15mg titrated to 60mg/30mg, then 90mg/30mg based on tolerability.
Other Name: OPC-41061 |
Experimental: Other Prior Study
For subjects enrolling from a previous open-label trial and are on tolvaptan at the baseline visit, initial dose assignment will remain consistent with the dose regimen the subject is currently on. Should a subject enroll from a previous open-label trial and not be on tolvaptan at the baseline visit, initial dosing will commence with the lowest dose regimen and up-titrated to the last tolerated dosing regimen (as explained above).

Drug: Tolvaptan
Daily split-dose of tolvaptan titrated to the maximally tolerated dose. Starting daily tolvaptan dose of 45mg/15mg titrated to 60mg/30mg, then 90mg/30mg based on tolerability.

- Percent Change in Total Kidney Volume (TKV) [ Time Frame: 24 months ]For subjects continuing from protocol 156-04-251: change from 251 baseline TKV at month 24 of 156-08-271 comparing those previously treated with tolvaptan to those previously treated with placebo
- Change in Estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate (eGFR) [ Time Frame: 24 months ]For subjects randomized to tolvaptan and placebo in 156-04-251 and enrolled and treated in 156-08-271 as early treated and delayed treatment groups: change from 251 baseline eGFR at month 24 of 156-08-271
- Slope of Total Kidney Value (TKV) [ Time Frame: 24 months ]For subjects randomized to tolvaptan and placebo in 156-04-251 and enrolled and treated in 156-08-271 as early treated and delayed treatment groups
- Slope of eGFR (CKD-EPI) [ Time Frame: 24 months ]For subjects randomized to tolvaptan and placebo in 156-04-251 and enrolled and treated in 156-08-271 as early treated and delayed treatment groups
