PKD1 Gene Variant Groups in Autosomal Dominant Polycystic Kidney Disease

Overview

About this study

The purpose of this study is to estimate the prevalence of PKD1 gene variant groups in the ADPKD population and describe the demographic and clinical characteristics of ADPKD by PKD1 gene variant group.

Participation eligibility

Participant eligibility includes age, gender, type and stage of disease, and previous treatments or health concerns. Guidelines differ from study to study, and identify who can or cannot participate. There is no guarantee that every individual who qualifies and wants to participate in a trial will be enrolled. Contact the study team to discuss study eligibility and potential participation.

Inclusion Criteria:

Part A​
Adult Participants

  • Participant (or their legally appointed and authorized representative) will sign and date an informed consent form (ICF), either in-person or remotely, as applicable by local law.
  • Willing and able to comply with scheduled visits and other study procedures.
  • Participants (male and female) between the ages of 18 and 65 years, inclusive.
  • Estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) ≥30 mL/min/1.73 m2 based on the Modified Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration (CKD-EPI) Creatinine Equation (2021)9 without the race adjustment. eGFR can be determined using the most recent serum creatinine value.
  • A pre-existing diagnosis of ADPKD defined as follows:
    • Evidence of polycystic kidney disease in 1 or both biological parents AND meeting the Pei-Ravine classification criteria below:
      • The minimum number of cysts present for each age category are as follows:
        •  ≥3 cysts in between both kidneys for participants <40 years of age
        •  ≥2 cysts in each kidney for participants ≥40 and ≤59 years of age
        •  ≥4 cysts in each kidney for participants ≥60 years of age OR
    • In the absence of evidence of polycystic kidney disease in either biological parent, the presence of ≥10 cysts per kidney.

Part A
Pediatric Participants

  • Participant and their legally appointed and authorized representative(s) will sign and date an ICF, and, when appropriate, an assent form, either in person or remotely, as applicable by local law.
  • Willing and able to comply with scheduled visits and other study procedures.
  • Participants (male and female) between the ages of 12 and 17 years, inclusive
  • eGFR ≥30 mL/min/1.73 m2 based on the Chronic Kidney Disease in Children under 25 (CKiDU25) GFR estimating equation.eGFR can be determined using either the most recent historical serum creatinine value.
  • A pre-existing diagnosis of ADPKD defined as follows:
    • Evidence of polycystic kidney disease in 1 or both biological parents OR compatible genetic diagnosis AND 
    • The presence of ≥1 renal cysts.

Part B (All Participants)

  • Participant (or their legally appointed and authorized representative) will sign and date an ICF, and, when appropriate, an assent form either in person or remotely, as applicable by local law.
  • Willing and able to comply with scheduled visits and other study procedures
  • Completed Part A of the study.
  • Received genotyping result confirming a non-truncating pathogenic, likely pathogenic, or variant of uncertain significance (VUS) within a sub-region of PKD1 that is eligible for Part B participation, as determined by Vertex or designee.
  • TKV >500 mL based on the most recent historical value, if available. If TKV is not available, then kidney length >15 cm based on the most recent historical value.

Exclusion Criteria:

Parts A and B (All Participants)

  • Participant, or close relative of the participant, is the investigator or a sub-investigator, research assistant, study coordinator, or other staff directly involved with the conduct of the study at that site.
  • History of kidney disease other than ADPKD that in the opinion of the investigator would independently impact the natural history of ADPKD.
  • History of solid organ or bone marrow transplantation or nephrectomy.
  • Ongoing renal replacement therapy or planning to start renal replacement therapy ≤12 months from the Genotyping Visit in Part A.
  • Documented historical genotype result demonstrating at least 1 truncating mutation in PKD1 (e.g., premature stop codon, frame shift variant, or splice junction variant).

Part B Only (All Participants)

In addition to exclusion criteria listed above participants in Part B must meet none of the following criteria:

  • Presence of truncating mutation in PKD1 confirmed by the genotype result obtained in Part A.

Note: Other protocol defined Inclusion/Exclusion Criteria may apply.
