Summary
This study aimed to see if the drug tolvaptan could help infants with a severe form of polycystic kidney disease (ARPKD) avoid needing dialysis or a kidney transplant in their first year of life. The trial was planned for babies between 28 days and 12 weeks old, but it was withdrawn before any participants were enrolled. The goal was to manage the disease and reduce the need for lifelong kidney support.
