• Historical data may be of help, but often absent or difficult to interpret
• In case there are no historical data, or in case these data are not reliable, then we have to use contemporary data to predict a high likelihood of rapid disease progression.
• Use TEMPO inclusion criteria? - Age 18 – 50 years - Cockroft-Gault creatinine clearance ≥60 ml/min - TKV ≥750 ml

r Selecting the right patient for treatment More than only setting an indication
Recommendation 8.1: We recommend discussing adverse effects and impact on lifestyle with patients when considering starting tolvaptan. Recommendation 8.2: We recommend taking into account contra-indications and adverse effects such as hepatic toxicity and other precautions as listed in SMPC text when considering starting tolvaptan (i.e. monthly liver function testing during 18 months). Recommendation 8.3: We recommend that prescription and documentation of safety monitoring of tolvaptan is performed under supervision of physicians with expertise in managing ADPKD and tolvaptan use.
Summary
• Tolvaptan is the first disease modifying drug for the treatment of ADPKD licensed in Europe. Consideration should now be given to patients suitable to receive the drug and the practicalities of its use.
• Patients eligible for treatment should be selected based on clinical factors that indicate or predict rapid disease progression (i.e. eGFR for age, hTKV for age, type of mutation + clinical signs), but also on patient-specific factors (like motivation and lifestyle consideration).
• Clinicians will need to appreciate the special considerations for treatment, including the impact of tolvaptan’s aquaretic side effects on daily activities and social life, to ensure adherence and persistence.

Clinical considerations when selecting patients for treatment
• Which CKD stages? - Only CKD stages 1 – 3a, not stage 3b - But index CKD stage for age,
- 40-50 yr old with CKD stage 1 cannot be a fast progressor - do not prescribe at age >50 years
• Evidence of rapid progressive disease: historical data feasible? - Historical loss of eGFR >2.5 ml/min/1.73m2 over 5 years - Historical growth in TKV >5%
• High likelihood of rapid disease progression (risk prediction)
- May classification: TKV indexed for height and age - MRI, volumetry or estimation with ellipsoid equation - US, ellipsoid equation (or just length >16.5 cm)
- PRO-PKD score (mutation analysis + clinical symptoms)

- Genetics: 1PKD1 (especially truncating mutations)
- Demographics: Family history of young age at ESRD
- Symptoms: 2Early hematuria, hypertension or pain
- Biomarkers: 3Plasma copeptin concentration??
4Urinary excretion tubular damage markers??
Kidney function, especially “reliable” historical change in kidney function, overrules all other prognostic indicators.

to predict high likelihood of rapid disease progression Managing tolvaptan associated
aquaretic side effects
Aquaretic side effects are common, as expected from tolvaptan’s mode of action, and occur early in treatment
• Polyuria, thirst, nocturia, dry mouth
• In TEMPO 7.9% of patients discontinued treatment due to an aquaresis related adverse event
• Most discontinuations occur in the first 3 months of treatment.
• Aquaretic response especially high in subjects with normal eGFR1
- >60 + 4.3 liter: 1.7 → 6.0 liter per day - 30-60 + 3.1 liter: 2.8 → 5.9 liter per day - <30 + 2.9 liter: 3.1 → 6.1 liter per day
• Provide counselling on the “right” type of fluids (avoid calories) and avoid diuretics because of risk electrolyte abnormalities

Translating data into a clinical perspective
• When considering prescribing tolvaptan: - First clinic visit patient education and assessing motivation - Start treatment at the second clinic visit or later - Weekly uptitration to highest tolerable dose (max 90 / 30 mg) (or monthly at the discretion of patient / physician)
• During titration check tolerability, AEs, eGFR, electrolytes, LFTs
- Be aware of the initial acute and reversible GFR decrease • Additional:
- Follow-up / education can be managed by nurse / clinic staff - LFTs can be assessed at local lab - Risk management program (RMP) may vary by country
