Summary
Brief summary
This is a Phase 3 trial consisting of a 2-arm, double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomized phase (Part 1) followed by a single-arm open-label phase (Part 2) to demonstrate the efficacy and safety of lixivaptan in participants with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD). Part 1 of the trial is designed to demonstrate the efficacy of lixivaptan in slowing the decline in kidney function as measured by the difference in estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) between the lixivaptan-treated and placebo-treated participants. Part 2 of the study is designed to provide confirmation of the durability of this effect. Additionally, both parts of the study will contribute to understanding the safety of lixivaptan, particularly any effects on liver chemistry tests.
