First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Aug 26, 2026 · Updated 3 times
Summary
This study tests whether adding a common water pill (hydrochlorothiazide) to the standard drug tolvaptan can slow kidney function decline and reduce side effects like frequent urination in people with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD). About 300 adults on a stable dose of tolvaptan will receive either hydrochlorothiazide or a placebo. The goal is to improve both treatment effectiveness and quality of life.
