Therapeutic interventions aimed at counterbalancing the effect of vasopressin and/or normalizing intracellular levels of cAMP may be effective in delaying disease progression in autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD).
The primary objectives of this study in subjects with ADPKD are:
* To characterize the safety and tolerability of lixivaptan following multiple doses in ADPKD subjects with relatively preserved kidney function (chronic kidney disease CKD1 and CKD2) and moderately impaired renal function (CKD3).
The secondary objectives of this study are:
* To characterize the PK profile of lixivaptan and its major metabolites following multiple doses of lixivaptan in ADPKD subjects with relatively preserved kidney function (CKD1 and CKD2) and moderately impaired renal function (CKD3).
* To characterize the pharmacodynamic effect of lixivaptan on urine output, urine osmolality, total kidney volume, serum vasopressin, and serum creatinine following multiple doses of lixivaptan in ADPKD subjects with relatively preserved kidney function (CKD1 and CKD2) and moderately impaired renal function (CKD3).
