NCT ID NCT04786574

First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated May 08, 2026 · Updated 29 times

Summary

This study planned to test the drug tolvaptan in very young infants (28 days to under 12 weeks old) with a rare, severe kidney disease called ARPKD. The goal was to see if the drug could reduce the need for dialysis or a kidney transplant in the first year of life. However, the study was withdrawn before any participants were enrolled, so no results are available.
