Inclusion criteria

  • {"criterion_text":"- Subjects between the ages of 18 and 65 years, inclusive at the time of signing the Screening Period ICF.\n- A body mass index (BMI) of 18 to 45 kg/m2, inclusive (Note: this may be adjusted based on the available data from Study 001).\n- Subjects with a pre-existing diagnosis of ADPKD defined as: •\tEvidence of polycystic kidney disease in 1 or both biological parents AND meeting the Pei-Ravine classification criteria14 as defined below The minimum number of cysts present for each age category as follows: \t≥3 cysts in between both kidneys for participants <40 years of age \t≥2 cysts in each kidney for participants ≥40 years of age and ≤59 years of age \t≥4 cysts in each kidney for participants ≥60 years of age OR •\tIn the absence of a family history of ADPKD: The presence of ≥10 cysts per kidney\n- Subjects with ADPKD with Mayo imaging classification (MIC) status of 1B (with htTKV ≥250 mL/m), 1C, 1D, or 1E15 confirmed by abdominal MRI obtained during screening. A maximum of 5 subjects with MIC status of 1B who have htTKV ≥250 mL/m may be enrolled.\n- Subject has a non-truncating variant that is pathogenic, likely pathogenic, or variant of uncertain significance (VUS) within a sub-region of PKD1 and no additional truncating PKD1 variants confirmed by results obtained with a Vertex-designated investigational clinical study assay.\n- eGFR ≥25 ml/min/1.73 m2 based on the Modified Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration (CKD-EPI) (2021) creatinine equation without the race adjustment."}

Exclusion criteria

  • {"criterion_text":"- History of any illness or any clinical condition that, in the opinion of the investigator or the subject’s general practitioner, might confound the results of the study or pose an additional risk in administering study drug to the subject. This may include, but is not limited to: •\tKidney disease other than ADPKD that in the opinion of the investigator would independently impact the natural history of ADPKD •\tSolid organ or bone marrow transplantation, or nephrectomy •\tAny condition possibly affecting drug absorption (e.g., gastrectomy, gastrointestinal tract surgery except appendectomy and cholecystectomy) •\tClinically significant liver dysfunction •\tCancer, except for squamous cell skin cancer, basal cell skin cancer, and Stage 0 cervical carcinoma in situ (all 3 with no recurrence for the last 5 years) •\tStroke or myocardial infarction within 6 months before Day 1 •\tHospitalization for heart failure exacerbation within the past year •\tRisk factors for Torsades de Pointes (e.g., familial long QT syndrome, chronic hypokalemia, heart failure) or concomitant medications that prolong QT/QTc interval or history of any cardiac disorders that, in the opinion of the investigator, might put the subject at risk or may confound the results of the study"}
  • {"criterion_text":"- Subjects who, in the opinion of the investigator, have evidence of atypical ADPKD presentation (MIC 2)."}

Secondary endpoints

  • {"endpoint_text":"- Percent change from baseline in htTKV on MRI over time","definition_or_measurement_approach":"Percent change in htTKV measured by MRI over time compared with baseline."}

Consent Approach
Informed consent is obtained from adult participants using subject information sheets and ICF documents (L1_SIS and ICF Main Adult, Genotype Determination Visit ICF, Pregnancy ICF and privacy annexes). ICF and recruitment materials are provided in country- and language-specific versions (documents available in Italian, Dutch, Spanish, French, German and English as indicated by document titles). As participants are adults (18–65), consent is by the participant; no assent/child consent procedures are described.

Methods

  • Country-specific recruitment arrangements documents (K1) outlining local recruitment plans (documents available for IT, NL, ES, BE, FR, DE).
  • Study flyers and site posters (K2_Recruitment material_Study Flyer, Site Poster) in country/language-specific versions targeting potential participants at sites.
  • Physician brochures and physician letters (K2_Recruitment material_Physician Brochure, Physician Letter) distributed to referring clinicians to identify eligible patients.
  • Patient letters, new participant brochures, and returning participant brochures for site-based participant outreach and engagement.
  • Congress cards and study flyers for outreach at conferences and professional meetings.
  • Educational material about genotyping (K2_Recruitment material_Understanding Genotyping) to inform potential participants about genotype-based eligibility and the investigational genotyping assay.
  • Informed consent flipbooks and ICF materials to support consent discussions at sites (language-specific versions).
