Tolvaptan and Kidney Pain in Patients With Autosomal Dominant Polycystic Kidney Disease: Secondary Analysis From a Randomized Controlled Trial.

ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND:Kidney pain is a common complication in patients with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD), and data from the TEMPO 3:4 trial suggested that tolvaptan, a vasopressin V2 receptor antagonist, may have a positive effect on kidney pain in this patient group. Because pain is difficult to measure, the incidence of kidney pain leading to objective medical interventions was used in the present study to assess pain. STUDY DESIGN:Secondary analysis from a randomized controlled trial. SETTING & PARTICIPANTS:Patients with ADPKD with preserved kidney function. INTERVENTION:Tolvaptan or placebo. OUTCOMES:Kidney pain events defined by objective medical interventions. MEASUREMENTS:Kidney pain events were recorded and independently adjudicated. Incidence of a first kidney pain event was assessed overall and categorized into 5 subgroups according to severity. RESULTS:Of 1,445 participating patients (48.4% women; mean age, 39±7 [SD] years; mean estimated glomerular filtration rate, 81±22mL/min/1.73m2; median total kidney volume, 1,692 [IQR, 750-7,555] mL), 50.9% reported a history of kidney pain at baseline. History of urinary tract infections, kidney stones, or hematuria (all P<0.001) and female sex (P<0.001) were significantly associated with history of kidney pain. Tolvaptan use resulted in a significantly lower incidence of kidney pain events when compared to placebo: 10.1% versus 16.8% (P<0.001), with a risk reduction of 36% (HR, 0.64; 95% CI, 0.48-0.86). The reduction in pain event incidence by tolvaptan was found in all groups irrespective of pain severity and was independent of predisposing factors (P for interaction > 0.05). The effect of tolvaptan was explained at least in part by a decrease in incidence of urinary tract infections, kidney stones, and hematuria when compared to placebo. LIMITATIONS:Trial has specific inclusion criteria for total kidney volume and kidney function. CONCLUSIONS:Tolvaptan decreased the incidence of kidney pain events independent of patient characteristics predisposing for kidney pain and possibly in part due to reductions in ADPKD-related complications.

Project description:BackgroundTolvaptan slows expansion of kidney volume and kidney function decline in adults with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD). Progression during childhood could be treated before irreversible kidney damage occurs, but trial data are lacking. We evaluated the safety and efficacy of tolvaptan in children/adolescents with ADPKD.MethodsThis was the 1-year, randomized, double-blind, portion of a phase 3b, two-part trial being conducted at 20 academic pediatric nephrology centers. Key eligibility criteria were ADPKD and eGFR ≥60 ml/min per 1.73 m2. Participants aged 12-17 years were the target group (group 1, enrollment goal n≥60); participants aged 4-11 years could additionally enroll (group 2, anticipated enrollment approximately 40). Treatments were tolvaptan or placebo titrated by body weight and tolerability. Coprimary end points, change from baseline in spot urine osmolality and specific gravity at week 1, assessed inhibition of antidiuretic hormone activity. The key secondary end point was change in height-adjusted total kidney volume (htTKV) to month 12 in group 1. Additional end points were safety/tolerability and quality of life. Statistical comparisons were exploratory and post hoc.ResultsAmong the 91 randomized (group 1, n=66; group 2, n=25), least squares (LS) mean reduction (±SEM) in spot urine osmolality at week 1 was greater with tolvaptan (-390 [28] mOsm/kg) than placebo (-90 [29] mOsm/kg; P<0.001), as was LS mean reduction in specific gravity (-0.009 [0.001] versus -0.002 [0.001]; P<0.001). In group 1, the 12-month htTKV increase was 2.6% with tolvaptan and 5.8% with placebo (P>0.05). For tolvaptan and placebo, respectively, 65% and 16% of subjects experienced aquaretic adverse events, and 2% and 0% experienced hypernatremia. There were no elevated transaminases or drug-induced liver injuries. Four participants discontinued tolvaptan, and three discontinued placebo. Quality-of-life assessments remained stable.ConclusionsTolvaptan exhibited pharmacodynamic activity in pediatric ADPKD. Aquaretic effects were manageable, with few discontinuations.Clinical trial registry name and registration numberSafety, Pharmacokinetics, Tolerability and Efficacy of Tolvaptan in Children and Adolescents With ADPKD (Autosomal Dominant Polycystic Kidney Disease) NCT02964273.

Project description:BackgroundThe course of autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is often associated with pain, hypertension, and kidney failure. Preclinical studies indicated that vasopressin V(2)-receptor antagonists inhibit cyst growth and slow the decline of kidney function.MethodsIn this phase 3, multicenter, double-blind, placebo-controlled, 3-year trial, we randomly assigned 1445 patients, 18 to 50 years of age, who had ADPKD with a total kidney volume of 750 ml or more and an estimated creatinine clearance of 60 ml per minute or more, in a 2:1 ratio to receive tolvaptan, a V(2)-receptor antagonist, at the highest of three twice-daily dose regimens that the patient found tolerable, or placebo. The primary outcome was the annual rate of change in the total kidney volume. Sequential secondary end points included a composite of time to clinical progression (defined as worsening kidney function, kidney pain, hypertension, and albuminuria) and rate of kidney-function decline.ResultsOver a 3-year period, the increase in total kidney volume in the tolvaptan group was 2.8% per year (95% confidence interval [CI], 2.5 to 3.1), versus 5.5% per year in the placebo group (95% CI, 5.1 to 6.0; P<0.001). The composite end point favored tolvaptan over placebo (44 vs. 50 events per 100 follow-up-years, P=0.01), with lower rates of worsening kidney function (2 vs. 5 events per 100 person-years of follow-up, P<0.001) and kidney pain (5 vs. 7 events per 100 person-years of follow-up, P=0.007). Tolvaptan was associated with a slower decline in kidney function (reciprocal of the serum creatinine level, -2.61 [mg per milliliter](-1) per year vs. -3.81 [mg per milliliter](-1) per year; P<0.001). There were fewer ADPKD-related adverse events in the tolvaptan group but more events related to aquaresis (excretion of electrolyte-free water) and hepatic adverse events unrelated to ADPKD, contributing to a higher discontinuation rate (23%, vs. 14% in the placebo group).ConclusionsTolvaptan, as compared with placebo, slowed the increase in total kidney volume and the decline in kidney function over a 3-year period in patients with ADPKD but was associated with a higher discontinuation rate, owing to adverse events.

Project description:BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES:In the 3-year Tolvaptan Efficacy and Safety in Management of ADPKD and Its Outcomes (TEMPO) 3:4 and 1-year Replicating Evidence of Preserved Renal Function: an Investigation of Tolvaptan Safety and Efficacy in ADPKD (REPRISE) trials, tolvaptan slowed the decline of eGFR in patients with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease at early and later stages of CKD, respectively. Our objective was to ascertain whether the reduction associated with the administration of tolvaptan is sustained, cumulative, and likely to delay the need for kidney replacement therapy. DESIGN, SETTING, PARTICIPANTS, & MEASUREMENTS:One hundred and twenty-eight patients with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease participated in clinical trials of tolvaptan at the Mayo Clinic. All had the opportunity to enroll into open-label extension studies. Twenty participated in short-term studies or received placebo only. The remaining 108 were analyzed for safety. Ninety seven patients treated with tolvaptan for ?1 year (mean±SD, 4.6±2.8; range, 1.1-11.2) were analyzed for efficacy using three approaches: (1) comparison of eGFR slopes and outcome (33% reduction from baseline eGFR) to controls matched by sex, age, and baseline eGFR; (2) Stability of eGFR slopes with duration of follow-up; and (3) comparison of observed and predicted eGFRs at last follow-up. RESULTS:Patients treated with tolvaptan had lower eGFR slopes from baseline (mean±SD, -2.20±2.18 ml/min per 1.73 m2 per year) and from month 1 (mean±SD, -1.97±2.44 ml/min per 1.73 m2 per year) compared with controls (mean±SD, -3.50±2.09 ml/min per 1.73 m2 per year; P<0.001), and lower risk of a 33% reduction in eGFR (risk ratio, 0.63; 95% confidence interval, 0.38 to 0.98 from baseline; risk ratio, 0.53; 95% confidence interval, 0.31 to 0.85 from month 1). Annualized eGFR slopes of patients treated with tolvaptan did not change during follow-up and differences between observed and predicted eGFRs at last follow-up increased with duration of treatment. CONCLUSIONS:Follow-up for up to 11.2 years (average 4.6 years) showed a sustained reduction in the annual rate of eGFR decline in patients treated with tolvaptan compared with controls and an increasing separation of eGFR values over time between the two groups.

Project description:BackgroundTolvaptan and octreotide-long-acting release (LAR) have renoprotective effects in autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) that are partially mediated by amelioration of compensatory glomerular hyperfiltration. We compared the effects of tolvaptan and octreotide-LAR combination therapy versus those of tolvaptan monotherapy in patients with ADPKD.MethodsThis pilot, randomized, placebo-controlled, cross-over trial primarily compared the effects of 1- and 4-week treatments with octreotide-LAR (two 20-mg i.m. injections) or placebo (two i.m. 0.9% saline solution injections) added-on tolvaptan (up to 90 and 30 mg/d) on GFR (iohexol plasma clearance) in 19 consenting patients with ADPKD referred to a clinical research center in Italy. Analyses were intention-to-treat. The local ethical committee approved the study.ResultsAt 4 weeks, GFR significantly decreased by a median (interquartile range) of 3 (-1 to 5) ml/min per 1.73 m2 with tolvaptan and placebo (P=0.01) and by 7 (3-14) ml/min per 1.73 m2 with tolvaptan and octreotide-LAR (P=0.03). GFR changes during the two treatment periods differed by 2 (-5 to 14) ml/min per 1.73 m2 (P=0.28). At 1 week, GFR significantly decreased by 3 (0-7) ml/min per 1.73 m2 with tolvaptan and placebo (P=0.006) and by 10 (-6 to 16) ml/min per 1.73 m2 with tolvaptan and octreotide-LAR add-on therapy (P<0.001). GFR changes during the two treatment periods significantly differed by 3 (0-12) ml/min per 1.73 m2 (P=0.012). Total kidney volume nonsignificantly changed by 4 (-48 to 23) ml with tolvaptan and placebo (P=0.74), whereas it decreased significantly by 41 (25-77) ml with tolvaptan and octreotide-LAR (P=0.001). Changes during the two treatment periods differed by 36 (0-65) ml (P=0.01). Octreotide-LAR also attenuated (P=0.02) the aquaretic effect of tolvaptan. Treatments were well tolerated.ConclusionsIn patients with ADPKD, octreotide-LAR added-on tolvaptan reduced GFR more effectively than octreotide-LAR and placebo. Octreotide-LAR also reduced total and cystic kidney volumes and attenuated the acquaretic effect of tolvaptan.Clinical trial registry name and registration numberTolvaptan-Octreotide LAR Combination in ADPKD (TOOL), NCT03541447.
