Tolvaptan for Polycystic Kidney Disease
Recruiting2 awardsPhase 3
Washington, District of Columbia
This trial is testing tolvaptan, a medication that slows kidney damage, in children with a severe kidney disease called ARPKD. Tolvaptan works by blocking a hormone that causes the kidneys to hold too much water, helping to reduce cysts and protect kidney function. The study will monitor children taking tolvaptan for a period of time. Tolvaptan has been shown to slow the progression of renal disease in adults with ADPKD, but its use in children is still being studied.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need insurance to participate in a trial?
Almost all clinical trials will cover the cost of the 'trial drug' — so no insurance is required for this. For trials where this trial drug is given alongside an already-approved medication, there may be a cost (which your insurance would normally cover).
Is there any support for travel costs?
Many of the teams running clinical trials will cover the cost of transportation to-and-from their care center.
Will I know what medication I am taking?
This depends on the specific study. If you're worried about receiving a placebo, you can actively filter out these trials using our search.
How long do clinical trials last?
Some trials will only require a single visit, while others will continue until your disease returns. It's fairly common for a trial to last somewhere between 1 and 6 months.
Do you verify all the trials on your website?
All of the trials listed on Power have been formally registered with the US Food and Drug Administration. Beyond this, some trials on Power have been formally 'verified' if the team behind the trial has completed an additional level of verification with our team.
How quickly will I hear back from a clinical trial?
Sadly, this response time can take anywhere from 6 hours to 2 weeks. We're working hard to speed up how quickly you hear back — in general, verified trials respond to patients within a few days.
