About this trial
Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease is the most common genetic cause of kidney failure. The only approved treatment for ADPKD - tolvaptan - is limited in its use by massive therapy-associated polyuria. This trial tests if the SGLT2-inhibitor dapagliflozin slows down the loss of kidney function in ADPKD.

Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Chronic eGFR slope
The annual chronic eGFR slope will be calculated using all available serum creatinine values from week 6 to week 156 (end of treatment), using linear mixed models.
Secondary outcomes
Change in eGFR from pre-treatment to post-treatment (off-treatment values)
Change in kidney function will be assessed by comparing the mean eGFR values before treatment (calculated as the average of serum creatinine measurements at week -4 and week 0) with the mean eGFR values after treatment (calculated as the average of measurements at week 162 and week 168). The difference between these two timepoints represents the off-treatment change in kidney function.
Time to first occurrence of a composite renal endpoint
Time from randomization to the first occurrence of any of the following events: 1. A sustained ≥40% decrease in eGFR from randomization, confirmed by a second measurement at the next scheduled visit or measured at the last scheduled visit before death or study end. 2. End-stage kidney disease (ESKD), defined as initiation of chronic dialysis, kidney transplantation, or a sustained eGFR \<15 mL/min/1.73 m². 3. Renal death.
Incidence of serious adverse events (SAEs)
All serious adverse events (SAEs) will be collected.
Incidence of adverse events of special interest (AESIs)
All adverse events of special interest (AESIs) will be collected.
Other outcomes
Change in kidney function based on cystatin-C measurements
Annual slopes of eGFR decline (in mL/min/1,73m2 per year), as calculated with linear mixed models using all available cystatin-c values: 1. on-treatment between week 6 and EOT (week 156) 2. off-treatment: before treatment (week -4 and week 0) and after treatment (week 162 and week 168) 3. between baseline and EOT (week 0-156)
Changes in albuminuria
Worsening (increase \>50% in comparison to baseline) or new onset of albuminuria (defined as \>30mg albumin/g creatinine)
Incidence of kidney stones
Number of symptomatic kidney stones (number of symptomatic episodes)
Total eGFR slope
Total slope: annual slope of eGFR decline (in mL/min/1,73m2 per year), as calculated with linear mixed models, using all available creatinine values from baseline until end of treatment (week 0-156)
