5. Study Description
Brief Summary
The general aim of this study in adult patients with Autosomal Dominant Polycystic Kidney Disease (ADPKD) and severe renal insufficiency is to assess the safety and the efficacy of sirolimus (SRL) in slowing renal function decline as compared to conventional therapy.
Detailed Description
Autosomal Dominant Polycystic Kidney Disease (ADPKD) is the most common hereditary renal disease, responsible for the 8% to 10% of the cases of end-stage renal disease (ESRD) in Western Countries.
ADPKD shows genetic heterogeneity, with at least three different genes implicated: the PKD1 gene (85% of the cases), the PKD2 (15% of the cases), and probably a PDK3 gene not yet identified. Recently, it has been reported that PC1 tail interacts with tuberin, the product of the TSC2 gene. The main function of the tuberin is to inactivate the Ser/Thr kinase mTOR, whose activity has been linked to increased cell growth, proliferation, apoptosis and differentiation. In ADPKD experimental animal models, researchers have shown that cyst lining epithelial cells exhibited very high mTOR activity; thus, they hypothesized that PC1 normally suppresses mTOR activity, and that defects in PC1 (and other proteins) may lead to aberrant mTOR activation. Studies in rat models of ADPKD have shown that short-term treatment with sirolimus (SRL) resulted in the dramatic reduction of the kidney size.
Recently we have documented that in ADPKD patients with normal kidney function or moderate renal dysfunction a short-course of SRL halted cyst growth and increased parenchyma volume. At this effective SRL dose (target trough blood level 5-10 ng/ml) the only relevant adverse effect observed in some patients was the development of aphthous stomatitis, relieved with topical treatment alone using a mouthwash.
Interestingly a retrospective study in a small number of SRL-treated ADPKD transplant patients showed that the treatment significantly reduced native kidney volumes over an average of 24 month follow-up. This reduction was three times higher than that reported in a control group of ADPKD transplant recipients not given SRL over a 40 month period. These results suggested that SRL may have a similar beneficial effect in humans as in experimental animals.
Overall, these findings are the basis for designing this study in ADPKD patients with severe renal dysfunction (GFR 40-15 ml/min/1.73m2) aimed to assess the safety and the efficacy of SRL in slowing renal function decline as compared to conventional therapy.

Intervention Description
Patients will be given SRL for one year starting at the oral daily dose of 3 mg, with periodical whole blood level measurements. The daily dose will be adjusted to keep SRL concentration within 5-10 ng/ml. Drug levels will be assessed at day 7 after starting treatment and every two weeks for the first month. Subsequently SRL concentrations will be monitored at monthly intervals (or at least 5 days after drug dose adjustments) until the end of the treatment period.
Intervention Type
Drug
Intervention Name(s)
conventional therapy
Intervention Description
Conventional treatment relates usually to the administration of antihypertensive drugs for patients with high blood pressure. Thus, for the present study, no major change in antihypertensive treatment should be introduced throughout the whole study period unless deemed clinically necessary (the reasons of the changes should be, however, clearly explained in the CRF). Only small changes in the doses of the ongoing treatments are recommended in order to maintain the same level of blood pressure control (target systolic/diastolic blood pressure <130/80 mmHg). This approach is aimed to minimize the confounding effect of any change in concomitant treatments on some efficacy variables (such as urinary protein excretion rate).
